Today I celebrate my 9 year LOVE affair with LA. California was a place I dreamed about living since the fashion magazine pages stared back at me as a kid in Connecticut. Driving across country solo and landing in a new place with nothing but a dream and hope for a more exciting and fulfilled life is a choice I’m so happy I had the … Continue reading 2016 Favorite Food Bites Around Los Angeles
There are nights and let’s face it, many days, where I don’t want to cook and ordering a delicious meal from one of LA’s amazing restaurants seems just way easier than making sure I have the right ingredients at home. As I get older, as much as I do like to cook, I also value my time. DoorDash is one of LA’s greatest food delivery services … Continue reading DoorDash to the Food Rescue!

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).

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
