With just one week to go before Thanksgiving, we are counting down to the start of the holiday season here at SYNC. In the meantime, here are some fun events going on around town to keep your mind occupied and your apple cider-cravings in check:
-You may have heard of clothing pop-up shops, but a one-night only bakery? On the evening of November 18, Machine Project, a non-profit art space in Echo Park, will host the first ever pop-up pie shop to benefit the Los Angeles Food Bank. For $20, dessert-lovers can come pick up a DIY “pie kit,” which includes a pie crust and a jar of homemade seasonal filling (your choice of Maple Pumpkin, Classic Apple or Lovely Lemon flavors.) Mmm…Giving to charity has never been so delicious! [LA Weekly]
-Over at the Craft and Folk Art Museum on Wilshire, a new exhibit, inspired by husband-and-wife photography team Linda Rice Lorenzetti and Daniel Lorenzetti, is documenting the rich and flavorful process of turning beans into coffee. Entitled The Birth of Coffee, the show features a “gallery of black and white, silver gelatin photographs artfully processed in shades of [what else?] coffee.” [Flavorpill LA]
-Lastly, Thanksgiving may still be more than a week away, but for those who are already in a festive (and eating) mood, LAist’s on-going celebration of National Sandwich Day has reached a pinnacle with this morning’s list of the best places in LA to get a breakfast sandwich. Are we the only ones with a sudden hankering for a fried egg on rye? See you there! [LAist]
