Kiss My Bundt Bakery: The Alternative Cupcake
Are you so over cupcakes? Too sweet for you? You may want to give bundt cakes a try. Stop laughing. I tried them at the newish bakery, Kiss My Bundt, in Midcity and was pleasantly surprised because 1) they are available in teeny tiny cupcake-size bundts rather than not-so-cute bundt cake slices, 2) they aren’t…
Colorado Wine Company's 2nd Annual White Trash Tasting 2008

This Weekend: The Last Cupcake, Absinthe Tasting and GObama
Busy weekend! Since my Halloween costume is all ready to go, I’ll be spending my days buying new home decor at the Domino Bazaar at HD Buttercup and then doing the AIDS Walk. What have you got going on? If nothing yet, you might want to look into the following. Friday, October 17 Leda’s Bake…
Royal/T Cafe: More Than the Kawaii Maids
When I first heard about Royal/T Cafe in Culver City I was instantly creeped out. The focal point of all the publications that covered this cosplay teahouse was the servers dressed up in maid costumes. Was this a place for guys to have their French maid fantasies realized (minus the sex)? Ehh, I’ll pass. But…
Laurel Tavern: A Gastropub for the Dark Side

Daily Candy: “Industrial and rustic, with brick and wood detail, Butcher block tables and blackboard menus we hail. Laurel Tavern has filled the Valley with…
L.A. Live: Times Square West?
Me and a bunch of bloggers were invited to the Ritz-Carlton Residences sales room downtown earlier this week to check out the new, impending L.A. Live, the huge downtown entertainment project which was kicked off by the debut of the Nokia Theatre last year. We (i.e. LAist, Blog Downtown, Experience LA, 5th and Spring and…
L.A. Chocolate Salon: Gimme More Chocolate
I’ve never really been disappointed in chocolate before. Well, except Hershey’s Special Dark. But I wasn’t all that happy about the 2nd Annual Los Angeles Luxury Chocolate Salon yesterday in Pasadena. The thing is, I had a press pass so didn’t have to pay the $17.50 admission but I felt really bad for those who…
This Weekend: Music Fests, 10-Cent French Dips and Wiiine

Friday, October 3 Free Gelato from N’Ice Cream You scream, I scream, we all scream for free N’iceCream! The new natural gelato and sorbet…
Pigging Out at the 26th Annual American Wine & Food Festival
How much do you think you can eat before you say, “Uncle”? I found out my limit at Wolfgang Puck’s 26th Annual American Wine & Food Festival held on the Universal Studios backlot over the weekend. Sure, the ticket for the highly successful shindig was $300 but 1) it’s for a good cause (raising over…
