The Hidden Gem : The Escondite, Downtown
Between cleverly named burgers like the “Captain Kangaroo” and signature cocktails like the “ChataFUGup”, what doesn’t already sound fucking awesome about this place? But oh, does it get better. The Escondite not only offers awesome, affordable, unique (in title and in taste) foods and beverages… it has one of the best view of Downtown...
Class Is Now In Session. : Public School 310, Culver City
I was already a Culver City resident when Public School 310 was in the process of being built; watching the build little by little I decided, probably a little too early on, that I was already going to be a regular. My anticipation made it seem as though they were taking forever to open...
La Piu Bella : Aventine, Hollywood
For those of you familiar with the Italian language you can probably see where I was going with “La Piu Bella” but incase you were perhaps more of a French or Spanish “speaker”, “La Piu Bella” translates to “the most beautiful”. And well, to be honest I’m not kidding about Aventine in Hollywood...

I appologize if the word “hipster” prompted a groan in annoyance, BUT, their effort to make a cool and unforgettable dining experience does not go un-noted. You wont walk in and walk out in disgust...
“Shabu Shabu, Swish Swish” : Eat Shabu, Santa Monica
6 years ago I’d never even heard of the Japanese dining experience that is Shabu Shabu; Northern California is sadly still very behind the times, but luckily for those of us who live in LA/Southern California we have plenty of these places where you can post up in front of a boiling pot of...
Day Date Downtown
Sad but true story… before a few weeks ago I’d never even heard of Union Station / Grand Central Market… and shame. on. me. What an incredible, not to mention historic LA spot! A friend had visited this past week to do some scouting for the company she works for, Tastemade (FOODIES CHECK...
10 Things to Do With Your Parents In LA
So your parents are coming to visit you in LA… ah. LA isn’t exactly as safe, quaint, and quiet as home… and you can’t just keep them in your apartment away from the world outside… I mean its not like you’re embarrassed of LA… but these aren’t your friends you can just take to...
