Kick Off 2011 With Melrose Night

The powers of fashion and food trucks will combine once again for Melrose Night—a new monthly event aimed to bring out shoppers and help revitalize the famed shopping street.

Dubbed “recession-friendly,” the kickoff of Melrose Night will be this Thurs., Jan. 6 from 6 to 10 p.m. on the stretch of Melrose Ave. between Stanley Ave. and Odgen Dr.

Participating retailers include 360 Atelier, American Apparel, Barracuda, Joyrich, Sportie LA, SURU and Urban Outfitters. If that doesn’t have your mouth watering, participating food trucks will include the Buttermilk Truck, Cool Haus, FrySmith, Komodo Truck, Ludo Truck and more.

Shoppers can receive 10-percent off purchases at participating stores by showing their food truck receipts and vice versa.
