I wonder if The Fat Dog on Magnolia would let a group take over their patio. They have great food too. I also have heard about Lawless Brewing, but I’m not a beer girl so can’t confirm what it’s like!

How big and what’s the vibe? Tonga Hut is a great tiki bar and you can put in reservations!

Aeirloom Bakery on Riverside Dr in Toluca Lake. I haven't been there in a while so can't tell if Sat 1 pm is a shitshow or a ghost town 👻 Yummy though! Bob's Big Boy is usually crowded at that time. Maybe Red Maple? (also haven't been lately, we moved out of NoHo in 2022)

It’s not NoHo, but Burbank has a mostly abandoned mall with free parking. Lmao.

Our bookclub is checking out La Rochelle Bakery at our next meeting!

I know Foreman’s will reserve spots on their covered patio AND they have parking! It’s Toluca Lake but super easy to get to, right off the 134
