Soup Kitchen Fridays

My friend Diana runs a blog called Affordable Los Angeles, listing fun things that you can do in the City of Angels without emptying your wallet. In honor of her service to the young, fabulous and broke, I'm spreading the word about Soup Kitchen Fridays, a new deal that The Edison introduced in the midst of the gravest fiscal crisis since the Great Depression (guess how many stories I've written in the past six months have included that phrase?). From 5 to 7 pm on Fridays, you can dine on free tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Gin and whiskey cost 35 cents. The irony is that, because of the Art Deco-style bar's dress code prohibiting athletic gear, flip-flops, T-shirts, collarless shirts and torn or baggy jeans, your outfit will probably cost a thousand times more than your tab, and Lindsay Lohan and the rest of the Balmain crowd will be forced to go down the street to drink beer at Haru Ulala.
