Oh my lawwwd, this sounds up my alley! The Wine House in West L.A. will be conducting a little something called BourBonQ where it will match a five-course gourmet barbecue menu with bourbon cocktails!

Tart Restaurant (Re)Launch Party
We attended the relaunch party of Tart, restaurant of Farmer’s Daughter Hotel across the street from The Grove in West Hollywood, earlier this week where we were invited to sample the redone menu of new executive chef Lauren Kyles, formerly of Hollywood’s The Green Door.

Kokomo Cafe: Free 90210's Peach Pit Specials
Photo from Seriouslyomg.com Last week when I was taking the lonnng way to ArcLight Hollywood to see Tropic Thunder, we drove down Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood and noticed quite a ruckus of trucks, lights and people standing around this one particular restaurant.

FREE Ice Cream: Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery
I’ve never heard of Silky Smooth Ultra Creamery before (maybe cuz its only location is deep in the bowels of the Beverly Center Mall and not even in the food court) but apparently it was voted #1 ice cream/gelato in L.A. on MyFoxLA and it’s a “microcreamery,” meaning that it handcrafts this unique fusion of…

Upper Manhattan Lounge: Awesome Burlesque Show, Meh Cocktails

Sure it’s not a list with anything really intriguing on it (just one Manhattan cocktail) but it IS something unusual for MB. The lounge opened up this past July but I…
Kitchen 24: Cocktail Shakes & the Willie
Usually when I hear about a new place and I hear about it from a bunch of the newsletters I subscribe to, I like to stay away from the newly crowned hot spot until things have dined down a bit (I’m still waiting for Osteria Mozza to mellow out!). Such was the case with 24-hour…
Tinto Tapas: $5 Tapas Mondays
I’m not the biggest fan of tapas. They’re small plates with big prices and goodness knows I’d rather have more food than that. But my friend Shelley told me about a happy hour at Tinto Tapas in the Fairfax area that has $5 tapas on Mondays from 5 to 10:30pm. She had gone there after…
