Treat or Treat! Halloween Cupcakes
If your sweet tooth craves something more than candy corn and miniature Kit Kats, several SoCal cupcakeries are doing up their sweets spooky style. Great for the office as an alternative to the candy bowl or for that special Halloween costume party. Sprinkles Cupcakes has a cute Boo box selection of the usual faves —…

Providence's Bar: Getting Schooled in Cocktails
I just met a girl who probably has one of the most awesome jobs ever. She’s the “Chambord Ambassador,” meaning she gets to go out just about every night in search of expert mixologists (aka kick-ass bartenders) to create new cocktails involving the raspberry liqueur. I met up with Ramona at the bar in Providence…

Kumo: Sushi With a Side of Spectacle
When I first heard about Kumo, ex-super agent Michael Ovitz’s new restaurant, I instantly shuttled it off my radar. It’s industry, it’s expensive, it’s so not for me. But then when Steve, my fave bartender who used to work at Ford’s Filling Station, popped up behind the Japanese restaurant’s bar I dragged myself over there….

Vanilla Bake Shop: Gimme Some Sugar, Baby
Flickr Shots by dotsara (from her own visit to the shop) I finally caved and checked out the Vanilla Bake Shop while I was down in Santa Monica for the Wednesday Farmer’s Market. The store is small and cute, to be sure, and the counterpeople were so pleasant and eager to help that impulse buys…
25th Annual American Wine & Food Festival
OMG, had so much fun last night. Would have been even better if I had a designated driver but as it was I just didn’t drink all that much. Le sigh! I so wanted to try the Patron tequila bar, the Belvedere vodka bar, the Moet & Chandon champagne bar and all the various wineries…
