The Nickel Mine is a Touchdown for West L.A.

The Westside just got a major upgrade in the sports bar department. The Nickel Mine, a casual concept from the team behind Cocina Condesa and The Woodsman, fills a much-needed void in a neighborhood that is known as Little Osaka or the Sawtelle District or plain old West Los Angeles. Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, in the former Il Grano space, in an area heavily … Continue reading The Nickel Mine is a Touchdown for West L.A.

Eating and Drinking our Way Through Seattle

Posted first on WeSaidGoTravel. The beauty of a city is learning about its culture through food. My introduction to Seattle after 22 years included a necessary stop at a Chinese tea house at the edge of the famous Fish Market.

Reconceived – LA’s 3 new culinary twists

“Life moves pretty fast,” Ferris Bueller told us. Nowhere is that more true than the L.A. dining scene. OK, that’s probably not true, but it really serves the purposes of my article here, so I’m not going to, like, retract it or anything. Like pop-up restaurants, bursting on the scene before pulling the inevitable Houdini act, the brick-and-mortar world is nearly as equally ephemeral.
