Dance, Drink, and Don a Disguise at LA's Biggest Masquerade Ball
The bands and DJs performing at KCRW's Halloween Masquerade party in Los Angeles have absolutely nothing in common with the Andrew Lloyd Webber song of the same name. If you're a Southern California resident or avid follower of independent music, then you're probably familiar with KCRW, one of the area's most tuned-into radio stations. The station's DJs, all of whom share a similar baritone rumble to their voices, are known for helping dictate the swing of the local music scene and attracting listeners to live shows en masse.
Halloween night's Masquerade extravaganza is sure to be no exception. If featured performers like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and DJ Shadow don't ring a bell, then it's time to switch over from KISS FM to find out what all the fuss is about. They'll be on hand to entertain the gussied and ghouled-up crowd, along with Sea Wolf, Little Dragon, and all of your favorite KCRW DJs. Finally, a way to put a face to the personality spinning tribal dubstep you hear late at night.

Best Jewish Delis in the World: Langer's in Los Angeles
When Shira Lazar went behind the counter at Schwartz's Deli in Montreal, it got us craving some overstuffed pastrami sandwiches and potato latkes with applesauce. So this week Jaunted is taking a look at the Best Jewish Delis in the World. Got your own suggestion for tasty goody delis? Let us know.
We couldn’t do a Best Jewish Delis roundup and ignore the Semitic smorgasbord LA has on offer, and trust us, it was not easy to pick just one. But when it comes down to it, it's pretty hard to beat Langer's.
Serving since 1947, this Alvarado Street institution looks at first glance much like any other retro American diner, with roomy faux-leather booths, tiny swivel stools aligned at the counter, and a diverse cross-section of Los Angelenos streaming in and out. But despite standard diner fare like western omelets and hot dogs, you'll realize this is a special place once you set eyes on their signature item: the legendary hot pastrami sandwich, piled high on rye bread, topped with swiss cheese and coleslaw; kosher dills on the side.
