Tiny's KO: Bringing Hollywood Back Down to Earth

Stephanie from Yelp, gosh bless her, was the one who introduced me to Tiny’s KO, a low-key “dive bar” on a boulevard looming with fancier-than-thou Hollywood hotspots. When me, Steph and some other Yelpers went, we were all a little tipsy from the happy hour at the Well beforehand but still sober enough to find…

The Bowery Bar & Bistro: In a New York Moment

I’ve always wanted to check out the Bowery Bar & Bistro on Sunset. I knew it was in Hollywood somewhere but had no idea that it was located just down the street from the Arclight. Had I known that I would have certainly gone there for a preshow dinner/cocktail instead of trying my luck at…

Believe it or not, there’s a bar in laidback Manhattan Beach where you are only allowed entrance if you’re a member of their exclusive “900 Club.” It’s called Side Door and there’s no sign outside. If you go there early enough on a Saturday night you might be able to snag a seat in their…

Angeleno Magazine Celebrates 7 at H.D. Buttercup

Last night was Angeleno magazine’s 7th anniversary party. It was thrown in the unlikely but perfect location of H.D. Buttercup in Culver City, a vast warehouse containing the wares of 50 vendors. This night the mag was offering guests Belvedere cocktails and an array of desserts amid the Turkish rugs and modern furniture.

TONIGHT: Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players

My sister was the one whose reach all the way from Japan pushed my bro and me to check out the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players when they played the Viper Room several years ago, even though neither of us had heard of them before or knew what they were about. But we trusted her unfailing good,…
