•  G&B Coffee / Go Get Em Tiger - $50 Gift Card:

$50 Gift Card to the dynamic G&B Coffee / Go Get Em Tiger neighborhood cafe at Grand Central Market, Los Feliz and Larchmont (additional locations coming soon).

Opening in 2012 in LA's historic Grand Central Market,  G&B won accolades like "Best New Coffeebar," "Coffeebar of the Year," "World's Five Best Coffeebars," "Best Coffeeshop in California" and "United States Barista Champion."

Go Get Em Tiger (GGET), located on Larchmont Blvd and in Los Feliz, is a true neighborhood spot. Armed with the same coffees that are the hallmark of G&B, GGET is a small, bright and fast paced neighborhood cafe that not only features its highly regarded coffee service but also incorporates breakfast and lunch comprised of fresh market ingredients and celebrating food as an essential complement to great coffee.


•  The Broad Museum - 4 VIP Passes:

The Broad is a new contemporary art museum founded by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad, which opened in September of 2015. Located on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, the museum was designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler  The museum is home to the 2,000 works of art in the Broad collection, which is among the most prominent holdings of postwar and contemporary art worldwide, and has launched an active program of rotating temporary exhibitions and innovative audience engagement.

On view on the first floor is Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room, a mirror-lined chamber housing a dazzling and seemingly endless LED light display. This experiential artwork has extremely limited capacity, accommodating one visitor at a time for about a minute, and requires a separate free timed same-day reservation which ticket holders are able to reserve, pending availability, after arrival into the museum.

General admission to The Broad is free, but The Broad VIP Pass entitles the bearer to bypass the ticketing and entrance line (typically about 45 minutes), and provides access to any free exhibitions, subject to availability. As time in the "Infinity Mirrored Room" cannot be reserved in advance of your visit, having these VIP Passes greatly increases your chances of experiencing the exhibit.


•  "Los Angeles Is..." - Board Book signed by the author:

From taco trucks to tar pits, this stylish board book by Elisa Parhad will delight toddlers and travelers alike as the perfect primer on the City of Angels. This is a signed copy.

Elisa is a writer and photographer in Los Angeles, by way of Seattle, Albuquerque, Austin and Japan. Her recently published board book, entitled "Los Angeles is...", is her first piece of children's literature.  She lives with her husband and their two young boys.


•  Wurstkuche - $50 Gift Card:

Purveyor of exotic grilled sausages. If you're in the mood for beer, hot dogs, and relaxed bar pub vibes, Wurstkuche is the place for you! The line moves fast, the staff is friendly, and they even offer vegetarian sausage options. Pro tip: Don't skip the to-die-for thick cut fries!
