Apparently, the Russian neighborhood around the Fairfax district in West Hollywood wasn’t a great place to put a Goth nightclub, as The Parlour Club, a Goth-inspired haunt, has been replaced by a more appropriate vodka bar called Bar Lubitsch. Having not checked out the place myself yet and finding nothing on this bar in any…
An hour of free cocktails? I’m in! One of my favorite L.A. guides, LA.com, is throwing a party at downtown’s gangster swank (Bugsy not Busta) hotspot, the Broadway Bar on February 23rd in celebration of Downtown L.A.’s burgeoning nightlife scene. They’re kicking off the evening with a free happy hour courtesy of Han Vodka. Sure,…
The hip factor on Pico Boulevard just went up a point with the Air Conditioned Lounge. Hugely popular in San Diego, this swank wine bar just opened up in Santa Monica, giving the city a bar-hopping alternative to played-out Main Street. You can add it to the list of Pico’s overlooked lounge bars–Liquid Kitty, the…
I used to be depressed about Valentine’s Day. So much so that I always felt compelled to throw my own Anti-Valentine’s Day event. Screw this romantic couples BS, I’m going to own this holiday! For a couple of years I planned Anti-Valentine’s Day Girls’ Nights Out where I’d make reservations at a fancy restaurant for…
Flickr shot by epmd Last night I revisited the Wilshire Restaurant for a girls’ night out (plus 2 guys) and it was a blast. I know, I already reviewed this place and gave it a lukewarm going-over at that. But with a slightly different group of girls, ones who were more about enjoying each other’s…

Duke’s Barefoot Bar up in Malibu offers $2.50 fish tacos for their Taco Tuesdays 4pm to close. You can order up…
Judging from that gleam in his eye, you can tell he just wants to win. OK, this isn’t fair of me to make this judgment especially since no one has ever taken me on a date here and, rather, my friend told me about when it happened to her, but I just can’t believe that…
My friend Andrea just invited me to attend a birthday party at McCabe’s in Santa Monica, so being the freak who has to know what she’s getting herself into I had to look it up on CitySearch. Folding chairs on a flat floor make for aching spines and bad sight lines, but the genuine warmth…
Who doesn’t love Stevie Wonder? His music stretches back to the days when Motown was young and he was known simply as “Little Stevie.” Not so little now as the appeal of his songs crosses generations and cultures. I performed to “Skeletons” in my high school dance troupe. My mom used to love singing “I…
Attended a bon voyage party at the Blue on Blue Bar in Beverly Hill’s Avalon Hotel last night for a friend leaving for London for six months, and I have to say that I wasn’t too impressed with the venue. Maybe it’s because we were sitting at a poolside cabana in the middle of January…
