There are probably some of you out there who feel like it's important to spend Memorial Day weekend in silent reflection over the sacrifices made in the name of American freedom. And we very much respect that, and send our profound thanks to those who serve our country. We also think that the best way to celebrate freedom, once you've given your thanks, is to go out and have a completely awesome time. Luckily for you, there's a bounty of pool parties, music festivals, BBQ's, yacht parties, rooftop ragers, and more this long weekend, right here in L.A.– check it all out in our 2012 Memorial Day Weekend Party Guide!

Food trucks are now as plentiful in Gotham as yellow taxis and homeless people.

Get your smart phone maps ready and prepare to tuck into these portable culinary delights. More»
On Saturday, Hamptonites invaded the Stadium Red Estate in Watermill to party it up for the third anniversay of Thrillist's Hamptons edition. Guests threw back summer cocktails (compliments of Stoli Vodka), and kept hydrated with the help of Smartwater. More»
For The Record, Part II: More Things 'Travel & Leisure' Got Wrong About America's Favorite Cities
[Go HERE for Part I of what we think Travel & Leisure was wrong about!]
'Sampling bias' refers to when the group of people chosen to conduct a survey or research study do not represent the full group that is supposedly being studied. For example, if we published a study called "LA's Favorite Bars," and then we only interview the drunk 16-year olds puking outside the Key Club, you might read it and end up thinking that the consensus best bar in LA is a K-Town grocery store that doesn't ask for ID when they sell Four Loko. This concept also applies to Travel & Leisure Magazine, and their "America's Favorite Cities" survey which I feel was off on more than a few key points. More»
This weekend, I plan on attending my first large-scale outdoor bar crawl and subsequent BBQ party of the year. If the weather stays the way it's been going, there's probably also an even-money bet that I'll be jumping into a pool sometime in the next 72 hours. Which is awesome, right? See, I know in the backlash-fueled world of internet comedy writing, there's some case to be made for why summer sucks. Oh, there's little kids at the beach, and I can't get my favorite table at Red Lobster, and there's no new episodes of SVU! More»
via la.guestofaguest.com Who doesn't love the thrill of sinking a ping pong ball into a cup of beer? Or perhaps how your adrenaline rushes while flipping a cup over with your finger tip so that it lands precisely on its brim? Reason #7 to have a summer BBQ: drinking games. Check out the full list!

We're not encouraging you to ditch school, nor play hookey from work, but if there was ever a time to use up one of your sick days, today would be that day. Mother Nature forgot to take her meds again and decided it'll be a perfect-for-lampin'-in-the-sun 90° today. Cold brewskies and cocktails in hand should definitely be a part of the equation More»
#5: Like the food of the gods, there's nothing quite like a grilled hot dog. Not only are they delicious, but they actually taste like summer. Oh man, and if you get some Grey Poupon up in that, forget it! But hopefully you've evolved from your 7-year-old self and graduated from ordering off of the kids menu so there's really no socially acceptable time to slam a Hebrew National these days, with the exception of summer BBQs.

#6: Apparently there is something really manly about flipping hunks of meat over a hot grill. We're not quite sure what it is, but males seem to think this is a really macho thing to do and it gives them a chance to indulge their delicate egos independently, meaning a) girls get the day off from having to make the men feel confident on BBQ day, and b) girls can sit back and relax until their perfectly cooked burger (it will be perfect since the guys' manhood depend on it) is ready for eating. Keep reading to see all 10 reasons you should definitely plan on having many BBQs this summer (and should probably hop on that train now since Mother Nature decided to make April 80+ degrees). More»
