Finally, another reason to visit Century City, other than the mall! Across the street in the old Kula space is new sports bar/restaurant SmithHouse Tap & Grill by Curtis Nysmith (Capitol City). Yeah, I was skeptical of it at first, too, especially since I was not a fan of Capitol City. But when word got…
Being a foodist, you get pretty particular…OK, anal about your restaurant experience. Does the server fill your water glass in a timely manner, does the waitress give you a five-minute warning before last call for happy hour, how’s the price-to-portion ratio? So when I come across a restaurant where the overpriced food is less than…
So when I moved in to my new home, I found a huge stash of Coronas and Bud Lights (with lime flavoring nonetheless) tucked away in one of the kitchen cupboards. (Does that mean the house was blessed or cursed?) What was I going to do with all this crappy beer that not even the…
Yes, I still wanted to hold a grudge against 213 Downtown for banning me from Schmeven Schmand all those years ago. But there comes a time when a girl has just gotta tell herself, “Oh get over it already.” And when you throw in craft beer, the Beer Chicks, a 7-bar LA craft beer crawl…
It’s almost the end of summer. No need to worry about your bikini bod anymore. Good thing, too, considering all the drinking going on this weekend! Friday, August 12 Mac & Cheese and Beer Pairing at Four Points LAX Mm, the best way to get those carbs! For $30 you get three types of mac…
When one thinks of 213 Downtown bars like Schmeven Schmand and Cana, no one thinks “Mm, that’s a great place to grab a beer.” So I just had to ask Beer Chicks Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune why they picked the cocktail bars yet again for their 2nd Annual Beer Crawl. I mean, there are…

Enjoy your weekend! Thursday, August 4 One Night Only: Desserts and Drinks Pairings at Dominick’s My two favorite things in the world…
When Hollywood beer haven Blue Palms Brewhouse says it’s going to celebrate its 3rd anniversary, prepare to be blown away, elated and inebriated. Their outdoor festival, which takes place on Saturday, August 13th from 12 to 8pm, will feature a seemingly endless tap list of the best brews around. Hit the jump for the crazy…
The Princess Bride (“Sweded” in 5 minutes) – watch more funny videos It’s my big move weekend! So excited. OK, not really. Because that will mean that I probably won’t be able to go to any of these fun events. Sad trombone. Friday, July 22 The Paper Bag Princess Vintage Super Summer Sale I always…
You’re not going to let a little Carmaggedon interfere with your weekend plans, are ya? Especially when there’s a bunch of food festivals like LA Food Fest (which I’m giving away tickets to) going on! Plus all this other fun stuff. Thursday, July 14 Paella and Spanish Wine Tasting at 55 Degree If you’re all…
