It may have been another night out in the neighborhood for Chris when I met her and Ken at Joe’s on Abbot Kinney last friday. But it had been awhile since I had a drink from their bartender, S. Hector Bury – and he didn’t disappoint with a delicious cocktail made with bacon-infused bourbon.
But we [...]

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was in Westwood without a car and without access to any of the great Chinese food I had been hearing about. I have fond memories mooching rides all the way to Monterey Park for the sole purposes of late night, greasy Chinese cafe food and pre-Boba Explosion Era boba [...]

Ever been to Susan Feniger’s Street? What about Shiro in South Pasadena? Are you jonesin’ for Mozza2Go? Maybe you’ve always wanted to try Grace without breaking the bank. Or perhaps you’ve been looking for an opportunity to try City Sip or The Foundry on Melrose.
Well now Blackboard Eats gives you good reason to try different eateries all around [...]

Tired of chasing the food truck of the moment all over town? Wish you could sample things from multiple trucks for a smorgasbord? Does your favorite food truck never come by your work, no more?
Never fear, because a couple of native Angelenos (yes, they exist) have brought the entire Los Angeles food truck movement together [...]

Got a place to watch the Super Bowl this year? If not, you have a few options around town. These are great if you’re the kind of fan who doesn’t like to clean up afterwards. And there are other great lists which include those I’ve forgotten (see notes) on teh internets LA food pubs so don’t [...]

I had been meaning to try out Cube, on La Brea, for awhile now. I’ve consistently heard good things about the cafe doubling as a market and though it’s located next to The Tar Pit – which has been open only a few months yet I’ve managed to visit three times, already – I knew I was [...]

I’ve a confession. At first migration to the Mid-Town neighborhood in which I still reside, I had frequented The Grove – weekly. It was the anti-mall mall before I realized that that could mean Disney. That was for shopping, however – all my dining excursions always took place in the nearby, historic Farmer’s Market. So thanks [...]

Everybody probably knows even better than we do how we don’t really have a “fall” here in L.A. Seeing how September was frickin’ hot, and the temperatures have cooled down (before they warmed up again yesterday), I can say with confidence that fall, as Angelenos know it, is finally here. If weather won’t do it, [...]

I love Farmer’s Market!! I can’t be a Mid-Town resident and not celebrate the 75th Anniversary of a very happy place – the home of some of my best memories in the neighborhood. And the only permanently-standing farmer’s market that I’ve ever known of. Yes, folks – The Grove [...]

When I’m asked how I drive a stick shift in congested, traffic-laden Los Angeles, I respond with the fact that having a manual is actually the only way I could deal with that traffic effectively. I don’t think it’s ironic; I just think people don’t really know what they’re talking about. Probably 90% of the cars in Europe are [...]
