Free Treats: Deli at Little Dom's Neighborhood Preview Party

Little Dom’s in Los Feliz not only has nummy Italian American fare and kickass classic cocktails but as of tomorrow it will also have its very own Old World-esque Italian deli. To kick off the deli’s debut, they’re throwing a neighborhood party inviting the community to come try out the new deli treats. Chef Brandon…

Wurstkuche: Mmm, Beer. Mmm, Sausages. Mmm, Bacon.

Have you noticed how it’s fuh-reeezing outside? You know what’s the best way to keep warm? Pad on the fat. At least that’s my excuse for pigging out during the holidays. And there’s no better way to get that extra cozy layer than by consuming bratwurst, double-dipped Belgian fries and some fine holiday ale. New…

Little Dom’s, Now With a Classic Cocktail Menu

Dammit, found another awesome place for cocktails all the way on the Eastside. Add it to my growing list of fave bars that I can’t visit often enough and never really get to: the Good Luck Bar, Tiki Ti and Bigfoot Lodge to name a few. However, unlike those bars with their endearingly zany cocktails,…

Holiday Cupcakes Roundup

As much as I love holiday cocktails and Starbucks’ peppermint mochas, what I love most of all about this time of year are the holiday cupcakes with those not-usual-for-cupcakes flavors like gingerbread and peppermint. Plus cupcakes are the easiest way to get a holiday party crowd all riled up. Leyna’s Kitchen has the perfect goodies…

Enjoying Breakfast Alone at the Nickel Diner

I keep hearing how the Nickel Diner in Downtown L.A. is such a swell place to grab breakfast but consequently it’s always packed. So I took advantage of the fact that most of L.A. was still out of town for the holiday and zoomed on the virtually open 10 East to my destination on a…

This Weekend: Free Cupcakes Again, Red Line Pub Crawl and Jimmy Choo Xmas Tree

Happy Thanksgiving, crackheads! Most of you are probably out of town anyway but for those who stayed I worked really hard finding some things for you to do. BTW, if you came here looking for Black Friday ideas I’ve got none since I’m not doing Christmas this year but fortunately Rundown has got a list…

Bar Pintxo: Tapas With a Side of Envy

After the Great Los Angeles Walk and its Britannia Pub after party, H.C., Khoi and I still felt like partying it up, OK, I mean winding down, so we stopped off at Bar Pintxo (a Basque word that means “pinches” of food or snacks and is pronounced “pin-cho”) in Santa Monica to check it out….

Sugar, Spice & Lots of Booze at Whist's Pastry/Cocktail Class

Since I’m throwing a holiday treat exchange for me and my girlfriends, I thought attending the holiday pastry/cocktail class at Whist would be a great way to come up with some new ideas. For the class, we were told we’d learn how to make pate a choux, chocolate truffles and praline candy in addition to…

This Weekend: Seychelles Sale, Great Walk and a Tea Party With Dolls

Such a great weekend coming up. Should I go on a long walk through L.A. or partake of a tea party with dolls? Definitely have to hit that shoe sale, though. Friday, November 21 Seychelles and BC Shoes Warehouse Sale Now that I live closer this warehouse, you can bet your sweet fanny that I’m…
