I can’t get this song, or the dance moves, out of my head! Since I’m not a football fan, the importance of this weekend is lost on me. (Although I do still like going to those Super Bowl parties!) If you feel the same way, no parties to plan or superstitious rituals to perform, here…

Copa d’Oro Cocktail Bar in Santa Monica: Pick Your Poison
Grazie, Vincenzo Marianella! For bringing your special brand of cocktailing to the Westside. Because of Vincenzo’s new bar, Copa d’Oro cocktail bar, in Santa Monica, I don’t have to trek all the way across town for one of those fancy cocktails. You know, the ones you find at the Edison or Comme Ca. Vincenzo, noted…
The Association's $10 Vintage Cocktails
I admit it. Part of the reason I avoided checking out new downtown bar, The Association, was because of its name. It just sounds so clique-y, so elitist; the siren call to douchebags, says I. Word of mouth seemed to confirm this. But then when I was hanging out with H.C., after we went to…

Culver City Happy Hours: Fraiche, Gyenari, Rush Street
I’m always on the hunt for a decent happy hour on the Westside since I can never seem to make it on time for the ones in Hollywood and downtown. So I was giddy to find that Culver City has a wealth of happy hours, well, I found three. The only thing is they all…

Primitivo Wine Bistro: Sangria Sundays
The restaurants on Abbot Kinney in Venice aren’t my usual hang since they’re too pricey for my taste, especially for just casual dining. But after watching the sunset on Venice beach with my roomies, we decided to grab some dinner nearby. Passing by Joe’s Restaurant and Lilly’s, the displayed prices turned us off. Nah! But…
Cocktail Review: Casa Cocina y Cantina's Cocktails
New downtown Mexican restaurant Casa Cocina y Cantina had a press release boasting a menu “unlike any other Mexican restaurant menu in Los Angeles.” But I couldn’t help but wonder if that held true to its cocktail list as well. So my friends (Johnny the Fish and Tara) and I stopped by on a very…
