Sip a cocktail on the water or pull up your boat at the Killer Shrimp dock. Killer Shrimp is the only place in LA that offers dock and dine in Marina Del Rey. The restaurant and bar were packed with LA’s diverse mix on a Thursday around 7 PM. Known for their Killer Shrimp bowl, the zesty broth with shrimp can be accompanied by even more … Continue reading Dock and Dine at Killer Shrimp
Few things in life can you be lousy at and yet still enjoy. Bowling is one of those things. My bowling scores are only a tad bit better than my golf scores, but while I might feel like snapping a five-iron over my knee now and then, I never get terribly upset if I occasionally roll a ball into a gutter. Maybe the booze anesthetizes … Continue reading Bowlero L.A. is Ready to Roll
Travelers, take heart, your world keeps getting a little smaller. Last year, American Airlines began nonstop service from LAX to Australia, and this year, it is expanding to include daily flights to New Zealand. To celebrate the new bond between L.A. and Auckland, the iPic theater in Westwood recently played host to a celebration of the island nation that stood in for Middle Earth in … Continue reading Check New Zealand off Your Bucket List
This article was previously posted on Resident Magazine. We can’t think of a better place in America to be for July 4 but Malibu. Like the Hamptons of the west coast without the New York prep and glitz, plan to leave early for the BU before traffic ensues on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). Stumble upon endless beachfront parties with fireworks shooting from the water … Continue reading Celebrate America in Malibu this July 4
Summer is here and baseball is in full swing. And Southern California is blessed with three Major League teams. Today, I want to give a little love to the Angels (and they sure need it!). If it’s been awhile since you’ve been to the Big A, it’s time to return. The team might not be as good as in years’ past but the food sure … Continue reading Baseball Food Just Got Better
Just off La Brea and Melrose lies a restaurant called Franco on Melrose that may have not been on your radar, but head through their unassuming front kitchen (New York City reminiscent) to their delightful airy back patio restaurant with twinkly lights and charming intimate bar. The La Brea Melrose hustle soon melts away. On a Thursday evening the seats filled up and we couldn’t … Continue reading Franco on Melrose, an Italian intimate affair
Executive Chef Fernando Darin dazzled us all night long with an endless slew of exceptional dishes at Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 5 year old Ray’s and Stark Bar named in honor of film producer Ray Stark (“West Side Story,” “Lolita,” “Funny Girl,” “Annie,” and “Steel Magnolias.”) It was hard to pick our favorite bites from his new art-centric menu, but the Italian in me loved the … Continue reading Chef Fernando’s art-centric menu at Ray’s pairs well with LACMA
We can’t think of a better spot for date, a birthday dinner (or even a children’s birthday) at ROKU Sunset’s Teppanyaki Grill. We already adore the sushi bar and small plates we’ve experienced at this expansive sexy venue in West Hollywood attached to glam kereoke Blind Dragon, but we didn’t realize the interactive Teppanyaki Room Experience comes with a personal chef to dazzle you with not … Continue reading ROKU Sunset’s Teppanyaki Grill brings flame and game to dining
If there’s something better than drinking wine on a rooftop garden overlooking the ocean as a cool salt breeze cavorts with a warm spring evening, it is probably illegal or at the very least, fattening. If you don’t enjoy good wine in a lush patio environment, not only is this article not for you, but really ask yourself whether Southern California is. Or life itself, … Continue reading Sonoma Wine Garden: Wine Country on a Roof
