NIGHT LINES

Hollywood’s hottest block (Cahuenga) gets yet another late-night drinking (and this time dining as well) alternative when Kitchen 24 (dining table pictured) opens later this month. The 24-hour diner with a full bar will serve up summer-specific drinks -- think honeydew mimosas, vodka strawberry lemonades and key lime pie margaritas -- geared to the twentysomething crowd that frequents the Cahuenga Corridor. Boasting a look created by Spacecraft guru Kristofer Keith (designer of Goa and several other nightclubs and restaurants) and funded in part by the team behind Cinespace, Kitchen 24 (1608 N. Cahuenga Blvd.) is awash in pink hues and features terrazzo for the floors and at the bar. Plans call for a public opening May 29, after several preview parties. . . . Next week, the Dolce Group celebrates the five-year anniversary of late-night dining and drinking destination Dolce Enoteca, its trendy namesake eatery on Melrose Avenue. Ashton Kutcher (an investor in Dolce) is on board to host an exclusive bash Tuesday to commemorate the occasion. . . . Another hot event next week figures to be Maxim magazine’s annual Hot 100 party. The bash, celebrating the “world’s most beautiful women,” takes place Wednesday at the Paramount lot off Melrose Avenue (sorry, crashers, this one might be tough to crack). Celebrities such as Jeremy Piven and Ashanti are on the invited list. DJ Vice is set to spin. . . . Finally, after several false starts, STK’s adjacent lounge, Coco De Ville, is ready for its close-up. The polychromatic lounge has already hosted several private events and is officially open to the public Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
