THE EDISON provides some financial crisis relief with the weekly Friday event THE SOUP KITCHEN in downtown LA.  In an effort to restore confidence in the community and its businesses, The Edison introduces The Soup Kitchen, Friday from 5-7 PM, to remind everyone to maintain perspective through this financial crisis and to support those truly in need.  The Soup Kitchen features complimentary Grilled Cheese Melts and Tomato Soup along with two distinctive drinks:  "Your 401 K" (A Gin Cocktail) and "The Bail Out" (Bourbon).  25% of net proceeds from the night go to local food banks and charities.  Additional donations are welcome and will be passed along to those who need our support the most.  Every cocktail will include a postcard at the bottom where Customers are asked to contribute their quote on how they feel about the economy that week.  Included is a disclaimer stating that any complaints about the customer's 401 K or Bailout will be forwarded at no cost to their congressional representative.  The two best quotes will receive 2 VIP tickets each to our Wednesday Night Lucent Dossier Cabaret.  The Edison is one of if not the best downtown LA night spot.  Located in the basement of the original Los Angeles Edison Power Building it is a cool time warp to the 1930’s – 50’s.  The Edison feature several lounge areas with furniture and spaces created from some of the original power plant machinery, background music and media visuals from the roaring era, and live dance acts throughout the night.  You can get more info online at www.edisondowntown.com.  Dress code is also STRICTLY INFORCED so leave your tennis shoes and T-Shirts home.  The Edison is located at 108 W. 2nd Street #101 in downtown LA with the entrance in the alleyway.
