Awww, the last weekend of the summer. Whether you spend it running the Nike + Human Race 10K or just hitting as many end-of-summer pool parties and barbecues as possible, I hope you have a good one. As for me, this might finally be the weekend I get that Vespa. I know! Friday, August 29…

Viva Las Vegas at ArcLight Sherman Oaks: Swingers Screening and Vegas Cocktails
One of my favorite movies about L.A. has gotta be Swingers. I love watching it and revisiting the hot spots of the ’90s — The Dresden and The Derby. And remember when Vince Vaughn was considered cute and not so bloated? Anyway, wrapping up the special Viva Las Vegas Party ArcLight series for its members…

Upper Manhattan Lounge: Awesome Burlesque Show, Meh Cocktails
When I first heard about Upper Manhattan Lounge in Manhattan Beach, I had to check it out. Apparently, they have a long martini list. Sure it’s not a list with anything really intriguing on it (just one Manhattan cocktail) but it IS something unusual for MB. The lounge opened up this past July but I…
Superheroes at Home Show at Colorado Wine Company
Photo by Gregg Segal Ever wonder about those costumed folks on Hollywood Boulevard? You know the ones I’m talking about. The Batman, the Iron Man, Captain America, et al? Who are they really? Yeah, me, too. And apparently photographer Gregg Segal has as well and has actually followed each superhero home and photographed their not-so-super…
Kitchen 24: Cocktail Shakes & the Willie
Usually when I hear about a new place and I hear about it from a bunch of the newsletters I subscribe to, I like to stay away from the newly crowned hot spot until things have dined down a bit (I’m still waiting for Osteria Mozza to mellow out!). Such was the case with 24-hour…
This Weekend: Rock Striptease, Paddle Boat Race and Marriage for All
It may be the last days of summer but instead of wiling it away by the pool, get out and do stuff, i.e. fight for a good cause, win a paddle boat race, take in an edgy striptease…. BTW, from now on I decided to include my fave video of the week in this post…
How It Went Down at My 3rd Blogiversary Party
Photos by Jennifer Low Photography Aww, I heart that above picture. It was taken while I was pulling names out of a jar for the giveaway prizes during my 3rd blogiversary party at Bar Lubitsch. Lots of friends and crackheads turned up for my little par-tay to help me celebrate and it was soo awesome….
Tell No One: Speakeasy Sundays at the Edison
Hmm, I’m not sure I want to tell anyone about this but at the same time I feel obligated. Oh well, I’ll just tell you guys and hopefully you keep it on the QT. But last night I went to the Edison in Downtown L.A. for its new bar night called Speakeasy Sundays. And it…
Liquid Kitty: Heartbreak and Cocktails Revisited
I can’t remember the last time I went to Liquid Kitty in West L.A. For me, it was a place of heartbreak and crying into my potent cocktails, that very dark and loud bar. Back during that time when a cosmopolitan was called a martini. The Kitty has been there for so many years that…
