I love the Library Bar for its awesome beer selection, which was hand-selected by the Beer Chick herself, Christina Perozzi, the former bar manager of Father’s Office. But turns out they now have a brand-new specialty cocktails list. For me? You shouldn’t have. The good news? There are 10 lovely old-school-inspired concoctions to choose from,…

FREE: Not for Tourists L.A. Guide
I thought this was pretty cool. But remember how Not for Tourists was having a release bash and gave away 100 of their L.A. guides to party attendees? Well, if you didn’t make it out to the party and still don’t want to fork over the $21.95 to get your own copy, you can actually…
Camping and Chillaxing in Joshua Tree
Rush-hour traffic, angry people, deadlines…are there times when you just want to escape from all that for some peace and quiet? May I suggest camping in Joshua Tree? Despite what you may think, sometimes I, too, like to unplug, if only for the novelty. So this past weekend, a group of friends and I headed…
Traveling Pants Sale: Denim Revolution Returns to L.A.
The Denim Revolution is hitting UCLA and this traveling sample sale promises to offer “the largest selection of brands that any sample sale company could have.” With over 8,000 pieces of designer denim goods from over 15 designer denim labels like True Religion, Paper Denim and Cloth, and, of course, Seven for All Mankind, you’re…
Nikki's Local 72: To Happy Hour or Not Happy Hour?
I’m torn because I think I just had the worst happy experience ever. But I can’t chalk it up to a place I’ll never go to again because of its AMAZING dessert, pretty tasty appetizers and unusual events. I dropped by Nikki’s in Venice for its happy hour: 1/2 off appetizers and two-for-one well and…
This Weekend: Your Prom Queen's Suggestions
So many parties this weekend! Too bad I’m going to be out in the desert somewhere pitching tents and roasting smores and… suffering from a state of unpluggedness. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to enjoy all the fun in town. Go, and please tell me about it. I’ll party vicariously through you….
Stoli Hotel: The Lux-Faux Hotel That Vodka Built
Just what is that Stoli Hotel you see and hear about everywhere? I even saw it on an animated billboard near my apartment. At this point you probably already know that it’s not a real hotel, but rather an invitation-only hotel concept party that travels from city to city. Currently it has taken up a…
Meltdown Etc.: It's the Cheesiest!
FINALLY! I made it to the coveted Culver City grilled cheese sandwich shop, Meltdown Etc. I would have gone sooner but for those crazy 11-3 weekday hours. Those hours are just mean. AND who displays a breakfast menu under your nose without it being available yet. Mean! Anyhoo, once I got my order of the…
FREE Scoop of Haagen-Dazs: New Flavor Day
Flickr Shot by CookieM Yup, free ice cream scoop at Haagen-Dazs today. But before you get too excited thinking that this is just like Ben & Jerry’s free cone day but for fancy people, you should know that you can only get a scoop of the new flavors which still sound awfully yummy, and you…
Seven Grand Opening Night Party
I wonder if anyone has fallen down those stairs at Seven Grand yet? It just opened last month with its official debut last Thursday, but mixing whiskey, scotch or bourbon with four flights of dimly lit stairs can’t be good. AND there’s no elevator. I guess that’s one way to ensure that people won’t drive…
