Within the 5.71 square-mile vicinity of Beverly Hills, almost a dozen new upscale restaurants have recently opened, or are about to. The area has always been known for shopping and celebrities, but becoming a cool “culinary destination” is new. And it’s two-fold: decades-old dining institutions, such as Spago and La Dolce Vita, are revamping and becoming go-to spots for more than production meetings, while East Coast restaurants like Dante, Cipriani and Marea are entering the scene. I lived in Beverly Hills during the pandemic and that area had a lot of open retail space in the wake over 2020/2021. Curious what kinds of deals these new restaurants got!
Andreessen Horowitz is said to be raising up to $7B for a new fund. It closes in April, so get your checks in.

It also plans another gaming fund and one focused on “American Dynamism,” or companies in defense and other industries that support U.S. national interests.
Forbes is launching a 30U30 for small towns. They’re looking for the top young founders and leaders in Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee or Washington, D.C. I would like to nominate the yoga instructors at Equinox and bartenders at Noroton Yacht Club in Darien, CT because we all know they’re the ones really keeping that town together.
