I blogged about this a while ago, but did you know Yamashiro screens high def movies in their Skyview Lounge every Wednesday for free? Grab a Darth Vadar Roll and some delish Ginger Beer (A Hefe Weizen with some ginger juice thrown in for some intense flavor), then kick back in the lounge. This Wednesday [...]

First impressions are everything. I generally get a feel for a restaurant in the first 5 min. How you’re greeted, the ambiance of the place and the menu. But looks can sometimes be deceiving. No Doubt, they have some great beers at the Blue Palms Brewhouse. It’s one of the few places in LA where [...]

Betty Fraser, the Top Chef that people either loved, or loved to hate. Her and Denise DeCarlo’s hidden breakfast and lunch spot is tucked away amongst film studios and post-production houses. I knew Grub existed, but I had yet to try it out. Voted over and over on Citysearch in the top ten of breakfast [...]

In the past I’ve learned to hate over hyped restaurants. They are almost always certainly “over” hyped and a disappointment.

Its new location on Hollywood Blvd is enormous compared to the Market location. The [...]

Looking for the best Falafel and Shawourma in town? Look no further than little Armenia’s long standing, 25 years to be exact, Falafel Arax. There beef Shawourma is slow cooked, topped with white fat that will, as it cooks on the spit, melt down over the perfectly spiced meat. The Falafel is simple, yet perfectly [...]

You can’t argue that Yamashiro is probably one of the most beautiful restaurants in all of LA. Yamashiro means “Mountain Palace” in Japanese. It’s full of rich history. It was the dream of the Bernheimer brothers in 1911 to build a hilltop mansion 250 feet above Hollywood Boulevard. Today you can still see the 600-year-old [...]
