Pizza Fusion Hollywood Is Fresh and Delicious

February 22, 2010 – 12:08 pm

I never met a soul who didn’t like pizza (even my cheese-hating ex eats more pizza than anyone I know). And though I may have grown up but an hour from Chicago, I could never get into deep dish. If the toppings are great, I’m going to want to consume more square inches of that [...]

Destination: Happy Hour at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

It’s a restaurant in Beverly Hills with Wolfgang’s name on it. And you would be sorely mistaken to think it were that Wolfgang – because it’s not. Zwiener, who is the former famed head waiter at New York’s Peter Luger Steakhouse, had built an identity and following of his [...]

Getting Happy at Hokusai

June 3, 2009 – 9:53 pm

The space is special to me because I used to come when it was the bar formerly co-owned by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon called The Continental. And that was something special you could say about the nearest bar to your first post-college, entry-level job in Los Angeles.

Summer Days at The Viceroy

May 19, 2009 – 6:08 pm

I’ve always loved The Viceroy in Santa Monica – what with the beautiful metallic greens set upon black and white Victorian angles in a modern motif. There is always something different yet subtle to look at in the hotel. At the same time, I’ve always known the posh palace to charge a pretty penny to [...]

In the Chef’s Cabana at blue on blue at Avalon Hotel, Beverly Hills

May 10, 2009 – 5:16 pm

I had driven past Avalon Hotel countless times before. Located at the base of Beverly Drive at Olympic Blvd., it’s a straight shot down from my place.
