In 2012 Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California was deemed the coolest block in America. During my almost 8 years in LA, Abbot Kinney has turned into a mecca of the hottest boutiques where one can find unique high end products that are not mass produced. Many of these cool one-of-a-kind American finds often come to LA from NY or come to life right here … Continue reading Patties and Pies at Three Square Cafe

The newly opened French brasserie Terrine with a pig painted on its white facade lets you know you have found the restaurant on Beverly Blvd. This restaurant with its unassuming exterior has been my go-to brunch spot to dine solo for many reasons. 1) No one bothers me at the bar and I can read in peace. 2) The coffee is perfect. 3) When I … Continue reading Dine and Swine at Terrine

I’ve been in LA almost 8 years and every year I have heard the Coachella banter many months before this two weekend desert music festival actually happens, and every year my intrigue grows. Each year I have been told that I will hate it…. camping, drugs, desert dust, heat, no bathrooms, and so on. After years of love hate tales floating around me, I actually … Continue reading What I wish someone told me before going to Coachella

The classy demure Robertson Blvd. spot Petrossian in West Hollywood paired up last week with its perfect match, a new wine from the Anderson Valley called Domaine Anderson, found just 2 and 1/2 hours north of San Francisco.

This beautiful semblance was a bold education for me about the Hermes of … Continue reading Petrossian Pairs Up with Domaine Anderson for a Night of Seduction

COLD or HOT! Either major chunks of lobster with … Continue reading Get Your Lobster Fix at Knuckle and Claw
