Flickr Shot by dotsara (detail) More random thoughts, aka “I can’t think of anything to blog about.” Something for your Friday.

ArcLight Sherman Oaks Opens This Weekend
Flickr Shot by Atwater Village Newbie (Curbed LA) Wow, I forget when was the last time I saw a movie at the Sherman Oaks Galleria 16. I know it was last year or maybe the year before but which movie? Hmm. Perhaps now that the theater has been transformed into the ArcLight Sherman Oaks I…

Alibi Room: Dive Bar Location at Beechwood Prices

Personally I’ve always found that what may look good on virtual paper may not necessarily translate to “good chemistry” in real life but at least I made many, many…many friends thanks to…
V-vin bar: They Have Cocktails? Who Knew?
After being turned away from Hidden — apparently they were having a private grand opening…after being open for nearly two months now, go figure — Nancy and I decided to fall back on Plan B: check out Valentino‘s newish wine bar, V-vin bar. Touted as the casual, more affordable section of the very formal and…
