When you hear the words “Pink Taco” what do you think of? I knowww! Pink. Tacos. Me, too! When I heard that this Mexican restaurant, which originated in Vegas, opened up in chi-chi Westfield Mall in Century City, of all places, I had to check it out. That name, that font.

This Weekend: Will You Look at That?
Ugh, I’mb sigg but hopefully that won’t mess up my weekend. I’ll be pissed if it does get in my way of checking out the following cuz it does involve some singing and dancing. Grumble. Friday, June 29 Vintage Clothes Fundraising Sale Although this clothes sale is in Woodland Hills, it might be worth a…
Dear Caroline on Crack: Bday Party Downtown?
Hello Caroline! I hope this email finds you doing well. I met you during the Wine Tasting Tour and ever since I’ve had the fortune of getting your newsletter. Now, I need your help; my sister is planning her birthday party for Friday and she’s looking for a place, around downtown, with a patio where…
Abode: No, I Will Not Drink My Vegetables
Abode’s Black Pearl may not be the $4,350 Diamond Cocktail at London’s Sheraton Park Tower (possibly the world’s most expensive cocktail with its 0.6 carat diamond garnish) but $300 is still quite a bit to pay for a martini. The Tahitian Black Pearl Martini to be exact, which is ultra-premium coconut Pearl Vodka and a…
Getting Drunk With Dignity at Seven Grand
I’ve got a hint of a hangover this morning as a reminder of my fabulous birthday party last night but I’m not complaining. It was s’wonderful! From start to finish I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Aidan, the general manager of Seven Grand, set us up in the huge corner booth next to…
Late Night at LACMA: Much Ado About Nothing
I was looking forward to Late Night at LACMA; all of L.A. there, great bands and djs providing the tunes, interactive mural, awesome people-watching opportunity. But when I got there I found myself spending a majority of my time waiting. Waiting 20 minutes to get into the event. Waiting 30 minutes to get a $3…
Sunday Summer Cinema in The W's Backyard
One of the best summer traditions in L.A. is movie screenings outdoors. You’ve got screenings in cemeteries, on downtown buildings and on piers but the swankiest locale has to be that of the W Los Angeles — Westwood. The hotel, Redlight Promotions and The Hollywood Reporter present Sunday Summer Cinema in The Backyard this summer…
Blue Velvet: Where To Take a Dip Before Downtown
Wait a minute, here I have been reading all about these tea-infused martinis at Blue Velvet but when I finally went there to check out this schwank downtown restaurant/lounge there were none to be found. In fact the specialty cocktail list only showed seven drinks ($12 each), none of which mentioned anything about Earl Grey…
Caroline on Crack's Birthday Party at Seven Grand
I almost didn’t want to celebrate my birthday this year. Last year’s Freaky Tiki birthday at Saints & Sinners with its Hawaiian costumes, tiki decorations, special cocktails, expensivo birthday cake and raffles was enough to make me want to swear off birthday parties forever…or at least until my 40th. So this year, I thought I’d…
Culture in the Early AM: Late Night at LACMA
Can’t sleep? Tossing and turning at night? Might as well do something about that. How about Late Night at LACMA? Dance to dj Kid Millionaire (aka Steve Aoki), enjoy Ima Robot, check out Dan Flavin’s soothing fluorescent light works and eat a street taco. Last year’s Late Night Bash at the museum was a blast….
