Mocktail Bars: Where Designated Drivers Drink
Flickr Shot (not an L.A. mocktail) by code_martial Unless you don’t like drinking liquor anyway, it can be a bit of a drag to be the designated driver for your drunkard friends. You have to sit there on your bar stool sipping on your tiny, weak soda while they get to enjoy pretty, decked-out specialty…
Today's Stream of Consciousness
Flickr Shot by Revolute I love Mondays off. Yesterday I actually got to watch a soap opera for the first time in 14 years. It’s good to know that I’m not really missing anything there. Anyhow, here’s my post vacation state of mind. Cool-sounding upcoming “food” events: the beer tasting at Surfas on 2/20, a…

Hipcooks West: Swank Cocktail Party 101
Flickr Shot by dotsara (detail) Ever wanted to throw a cocktail party, something so swank that it would put Holly Golightly and Sinatra to shame? My cocktail parties always involve simple Trader Joe appetizers and vodka and whiskey with mixers. Sure, my friends probably didn’t care but it’s always better to do things with style….

LAist's Super Tuesday Party at Seven Grand
I hit the LAist Super Tuesday party last night at Seven Grand and had a blast. What a turnout! Apparently LAist readers have been itching to party together and with the LAisters for awhile now. I think I only met two Republicans and they had happened on the party accidently, coming to Seven Grand for…
Cocktail Review: Imperia & Caviar at Fraiche
I usually don’t like vodka martinis, especially vodka martinis that cost $15 but there’s something to be said of Fraiche‘s swank, brand-new (it’s a week old) cocktail, the Imperia & Caviar. It’s unusual in its presentation and its ingredients and even though it seems so simple it’s like nothing I’ve ever heard of/seen/tasted before. Renowned…
A Drink on the House: LAist's Super Tuesday Party

After hitting the polls, join the LAist gang for their Super Tuesday party at Seven Grand where there will be some spirited drinking, drunken political debating and election returns spectating on…
