Finn McCool's Irish Pub: A Bit 'O Cheer & Blarney
Flickr Shot by dotsara I am not a fan of the big alcoholidays: Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s Day, New Year’s Eve…Labor Day. I just hate the crowds of drunk people. Crowds of drunk people on a Thursday night, fine. But on a night especially dedicated to getting plastered? No thanks. That’s why I chose…
Bluebird Bakery: Culver City's Well-Hidden Secret
My friend Bernadette and I love to catch up over weekend brunch and one Saturday morning she suggested Bluebird Bakery in Culver City.

My Favorite Restaurant: Luna Park
What first drew me to Luna Park on La Brea was CitySearch‘s review of their food: The menu spotlights simply prepared comfort cuisine with a creative edge. Smooth goat-cheese fondue with grilled bread and crisp green apples for dipping is wildly popular. A light, lemony vinaigrette spruces up the sweet and savory salad of spinach,…
Mashti Malone's Ice Cream: F*ck Vanilla
Bored with Baskin-Robbins? Double Rainbow? And even, dare I say, Coldstone Creamery? They ALWAYS have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry… If you want something more exotic for your adventurous palate, Mashti Malone’s Ice Cream is the place to go, where you get everything from Rosewater Saffron with Pistachios to Creamy Mango to Pomegranate Sorbet. Mashti’s has gotten…
O Sprinkles, My Beloved Cupcake
Desire, instant gratification and daily variety — what more can a girl ask for? Man, I can’t even write this without salivating.
