Alright. I’ve been selfishly hiding something for quite some time now, and finally I feel it’s about time I gave up the goods: shared my secret, if you will. There’s a perfect burger in Los Angeles that’s hard to compete with. She’s not in an In n Out, nor in a crowded hip LA “burger...

Happy One Year Anniversary To Aventine Hollywood
Here’s a few shots from the celebration last night at Aventine! Highlights certainly being poured Mer Soliel Chardonnay and my new favorite Pinot Noir: Belle Glos, tasting the most delicious organic tequila made by Azunia, and of course the incredibly delicious “only at Aventine” meal. Great night celebrating a great restaurant, cheers to the team...

LA Local Spotlight | Clover Juices | Celebrating Their 1 Year Anniversary & Much More To Come!
February 20, 2014November 2, 2018FOOD (+ BEVERAGE), Trending : LA Shoppingby Caroline @ Love & Loathing LA
I had a commute for two years driving up La Brea from Venice Blvd to Hollywood Blvd, and I vividly remember the time (exactly one year ago) when a “Clover” awning and storefront popped up next to Moksha, the (crazy popular) hot yoga studio. I remember this well because I was actually in the middle...

The Italian Angeleno | Sotto, Pico-Robertson
If there’s two things everyone in LA knows about Sotto, it’s cocktails and pizza. Sotto’s meatballs, Italian wine, cannoli’s, and handmade pasta are not to be forgotten either, but the buzz about their fantastic craft cocktails and traditional Neapolitan pizzas is what peaked my interest about visiting this LA foodie favorite. I recently had a...

Swank, Chandeliers, & Dancing On Tables | Riviera 31 at Sofitel, Beverly Hills
When a lounge shares correlations with the likes of “Beverly Hills”, “Sofitel Hotels, and “the French Riviera” there’s a good chance you’re in for a treat. Riviera 31 at the Sofitel Beverly Hills is no exception, it’s everything you hoped it would be and then some – it’s sophisticated, it’s chic, and it’s one of...

Marrakech State Of Mind | Acabar, Hollywood
There’s two things that lure me in to restaurants involving anything “Moroccan” inspired: the incredible lavish, ornate decor that never ceases to amaze and the aromatic Middle Eastern taste bud party that comes with the cuisine. Acabar in Hollywood is all that and then some – all that and a bag of chips as I...

Day Date Discovering York Boulevard | Highland Park
January 26, 2014November 2, 2018FOOD (+ BEVERAGE), FUN, Trending : LA Shoppingby Caroline @ Love & Loathing LA
York Boulevard in Highland Park was recently named “LA’s Coolest Street” by Condé Nast Traveler, and Condé Nast Traveler seems pretty trustworthy, right?, so this massive honor of a title naturally sparked my curiosity to find out how, why, and what the fuss was all about. I’d never heard of “York Boulevard” pre LA Mag/ Condé Nast...

Health, Happiness and Kleansing. | Kreation Juicery/Kafe, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, & More
January 13, 2014November 2, 2018FOOD (+ BEVERAGE), Trending : LA Shoppingby Caroline @ Love & Loathing LA
There cannot be any discussion about “getting healthy” or “cleansing your system” in LA without speak of juicing, juice cleanses, or any of our favorite local Juice Bars. Los Angeles and Juice Bars go together like peanut butter and jelly. Or like me and wine. In other words, the two are just better when...

mm. Go Greek Yogurt | Beverly Hills
I don’t know about you but right now I’m feeling ever so slightly disappointed in myself. Ever year, I can’t seem to get a grip on “giving a fuck” during the holiday season. Between buying cookies… baking my own cookies… ordering drinks at Starbucks I’m not sure why I order besides the fact that “peppermint” and...
