La Bodeguita de Pico - Mid City

19. October 2007

0 Comments

I finally got down to La Bodeguita de Pico a new(ish) Cuban spot on Pico in the Miracle Mile area. The place was pretty empty, but I think it was a week night, with no live show planned for the night. But it was a great chance to just enjoy the food. I’m not very [...]

Libertine Lounge - West Hollywood

15. October 2007

Libertine Lounge opened this weekend in the previous Wet space (the old Union) and I was able to get a sneak peak at it’s “soft” opening. I apologize and none of my camera pics came out all that great, so instead of showing blurry pics, I’ll just move on to the review. The decor is [...]

Life in Venice, the Menace

10. October 2007

0 Comments

Life in Venice can be wild at times I suppose. It sure is quite a show every time I hang out on Abbot Kinney or the boardwalk. Venice Beach is a colorful place to say the least. What better way to showcase it to the world than giving it it’s very own online TV network [...]

Free Small Hours show at the Kibitz Room

9. October 2007

0 Comments

The Small Hours is a Brit rock group based out of Los Angeles. I’ve always enjoyed their music. Their sound, as they describe it, is “alternative but accessible, melodic and emotional, ethereal yet aggressive.” They are putting on a free show at the Kibitz Room this Friday, Oct 12. They are playing with LA indie [...]

Libertine Lounge - opening soon

Libertine Lounge on Sunset is opening very soon with a kick-off party this weekend. The location at 8210 W. Sunset Blvd has seen it’s fair share of occupants. Most recently Wet and before that, Union. Seems like that whole block has been cursed since Dublins was rooted from its location after all those years. Dublins [...]

Casa Bianca Pizza - Eagle Rock

So I’ve finally made it to Casa Bianca Pizza. I’ve been hearing for years that they serve up some of the best pie in the city. I have some experience with pizza. My first job ever (besides the one summer I cleaned pools) was working the pizza oven at an Italian restaurant in Whittier called [...]

Yet another “best of” list for LA

4. October 2007

0 Comments

Some people value “best of” lists. I usually take them with a grain of salt. I take what I’ve already heard on the other local blogs and cross reference with the list to see if it actually has any validity to it. Fox LA is currently putting together a best of list for LA. Its [...]

The Happy Ending

Sometimes I can’t drag myself out to try every new place. I leave it to my friends to do some of the work and report back to me. So here goes my first guest post by my good friend Mara. She reports in from the new Happy Ending Bar, previously Acapulco. Apparently it ended up [...]

The Return of Pumpkin Hunting Season

2. October 2007

0 Comments

Trader Joe’s is a fine place to get a pumpkin I suppose. It’s convenient and cheap. But it’s also boring and not very adventurous. So break out of your mold and escape for a hay ride, grilled corn and your own hand picked pumpkin from one of the many pumpkin patches that surround Los Angeles. [...]
