Pond Skipping on the Cheap: LA to Tokyo R/T $540

For Those Who Can Handle Vegas: Caesar's Palace The Hangover Package

I used to not like Vegas, thinking it was more a place for hard-core partyers than a goody two-shoes like me who didn’t like to smoke or gamble or rub up against strangers in crowded clubs. That is until I went there earlier this year, staying at Caesar’s Palace and gorging myself in a foodie’s…

Places I'll Never Show My Face in Again: Wokcano Santa Monica

It was just last year when I attended the grand opening party of the Wokcano in Santa Monica. After being turned off by its sugary cocktails and high-priced sushi, I secretly vowed to never show my face there again. Eh, not really my thing but if it’s your thing then that’s OK. I just didn’t…

Heaven's Dog SF: Cocktail Heaven on Earth

When I told my L.A. cocktail enthusiast friends that I was spending my Fourth of July/bday weekend up in San Francisco, they all told me that I had to get myself to Heaven’s Dog right quick. “You’re in SF?” Johnny the Fish of Social Domain texted me as soon as I had Twittered I was…

Dear Caroline on Crack: Hollywood Happy Hour With Patio?

Photo from XIV Hi Caroline on Crack, You are my new hero. I dated this jerk douchebag who took me to lots of nice places and I always oohed and ahhed at how many hot new spots he knew of. But he was a total jerk and I’m not seeing him anymore. At first, it…

La Grande Orange Cafe: All Aboard for Brunch in the 'Dena

I love brunch soo much that I could have it for every meal of the day. That’s why I was more than delighted when the PR girls representing La Grande Orange Cafe in Pasadena invited me as well as other food bloggers — Lindsay of LAist, estarLA, Shop Eat Sleep and “Harlow Quinn” of Eater…

I’m a cheapskate and therefore like having booze on hand whenever I find myself at an overpriced lounge. I’d just order a soda and voila! $2 cocktail! But if you really want to…
