"Words with Friends" geeks should put down the iPhone and show their vocab skills in a live, face-to-face game of Scrabble at the Standard Downtown LA. The hotel hosts free Scrabble nights Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in its lobby.
But of course the Standard doesn't just throw a bunch of old board games haphazardly around a room and tell people to play amongst themselves. Instead, there's a ginormous Scrabble board that puts our deluxe set to shame, and it's manned by a host.]]>
If you carnivores out there crave a meaty meal, but want something different from the usual Kobe burger, sink your teeth into a bear burger instead at the Standard Downtown LA.
New chef Micah Fields will offer a new exotic patty each week as part of 24/7 Restaurant's new "Burger of the Week" special. Starting today, it will serve up Yogi. Or, more accurately, Smokey, since it's called the "Smokey the Bear Burger."]]>
Although we haven't talked about Standard Hotels' various product collaborations in a while, you can rest assured that they've continue to roll them out. The latest is actually cute—$12 pairs of Happy Socks to call to mind each Standard property with their design. They don't stink of just-for-the-sake-of-doing-a-collab like the Kaws lightbulbs did, so we might actually buy these.
Each hotel—The Standard NYC, Standard Miami, Standard Downtown LA and Standard Hollywood—have two different pairs of Happy Socks for you to choose from. According to Refinery 29, guests will find them for sale in the hotel room minibars, but of course they're just as available online at Shop The Standard. ]]>
