Big Time at Hammer: Q&A with David Lynch
You probably know him as your friendly and crazy-looking L.A. weatherman, but apparently he also makes movies. Director David Lynch will be doing a Q&A after the screening of his most recent cinematic oddity Inland Empire during Filter Magazine and the Hammer Museum’s bimonthly late night artsy-fartsy event. But even better, Lynch will perform “Polish…
Peponi Nail Lounge: Happy Hour Mani and Martinis
Dre was the one who told me about Peponi Nail and Skin Care Lounge‘s special happy hour on Thursdays where you can get a salon manicure and two martinis for only $20. That’s quite a deal considering specialty cocktails are about $11+ on average. And with pretty nails to boot? Nifty! Naturally I had to…

Bar Nineteen12: $18 for a Cocktail? No Thanks!
Flickr Shot by Balaclava9 I was supposed to meet Erin and Nancy at Bar Nineteen12 in the Beverly Hills Hotel tonight. We had planned checking it out ever since we got wind of it from UrbanDaddy and Thrillist but it wasn’t until a couple of hours before our drinking date that I decided to actually…
X Bar Is a Hit and a Miss
It felt like Dre hadn’t had a chance to catch up in awhile so we decided to meet for cocktails, but at a place I’ve never been to before. That’s always the prerequisite. X Bar in Century City’s Hyatt is on my short list of places whose cocktails I want to check out. Even though…
Cocktail Review: Mint Chocolate Martini at Wilshire
It’s been awhile since I’ve last visited Wilshire Restaurant and Lounge. But I had figured back then that after a night of cougars and Purple Rain martinis, there wasn’t much more to see (although I do want to give Tuesday Sundae Night a visit). That is until the other day when a co-worker raved about…
Dear Caroline on Crack: Wedding Reception Venues?
Somehow, I stumbled upon C on C & yea!! I realized we’ve only just met, but I have this huge(ish) dilemma: Time to get married….I am a longtime LA/Downtown/Hollywood oldie, a little off my game this last year (moved from downtown to Pasadena a year ago), so your site has stirred my juices & renewed…
