With the explosion of high-quality coffee places and roasters all over Los Angeles — Intelligentsia, Handsome Coffee Roasters, LAMILL, Dripp and Brew Coffee Bar — there’s bound to be a growing dependence and, let’s face it, addiction to that fine cup of Joe.

My bf and I will be celebrating a big anniversary this month (woo!) and I figured that instead of just doing a fancy dinner and drinks somewhere booking a romantic getaway in the city we love would be the way to go.

Ever since 10 Pound (£10), the Macallan exclusive bar, opened up at the Montage Beverly Hills earlier this year, I’ve been dying to get my grubby, unmanicured hands on its Scotch glasses. But since I’m on a broke girl budget, I could only fantasize about hitting up this reservations-only bar with its $50 minimum.

Turns out he had a date scheduled that night but the two didn’t mind the fancy detour.

After the way my uber-indulgent Day One in San Francisco went, I was in Ziggy Piggy heaven. Eating and drinking without remorse. Thoughts of diets and exercise could wait til I got back in L.A. For now, every craving was sated, food babies be damned. Fortunate considering my two favorite bar/restaurants of the whole trip…
Since I grew up in NorCal I feel like I’m past the point of being a tourist in San Francisco, preferring beloved local eateries in SoMa to tourist traps in Fisherman’s Wharf. So this past Labor Day weekend when I went to visit my bff Jennifer she had carefully researched a list of local favorites…
