Flickr Shot by I Am Adam It’s already that time of year again: Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day where you can get a whole cone of your old favorite or something completely new for FREEEE! Yee-haw! My goal? To hit as many B&J locations as I can. Just kidding. Sorta. Here’s a list of…

Beauty on the Cheap: $50 Spa Treatments
Flickr Shot by Wellcome to Darkman’s world (detail) It’s that time of year when you gotta start thinking of coming out of your dull winter skin. Too bad that usually means taking a pumice stone to your heels since spa treatments cost so darn much. Fortunately, Spa Week is here again where you can get…
Fighting Turtles and Guerrilla Gay Bar at Brennan's
Last night I attended my first ever Guerrilla Gay Bar event. This one took place at Brennan’s Irish Pub in Marina Del Rey on a Thursday night instead of the usual weekend night. Apparently this was a risky switch since lots of people wrote to the GGB HQ complaining the venue was so far from…
Tonight's Guerrilla Gay Bar Target: Brennan's
Flickr Shot by itsxtian So the communique from GGB HQ has come in and Thursday’s target is Brennan’s Irish Pub in Marina Del Rey. I’m so excited about it. Ever since I heard about Guerrilla Gay Bar takeovers from Jonathan via comments on my Bar Lubitsch post, I’ve been wanting to check it out myself….
Montana Lounge's Long Kiss Good-Bye
First off, I guess I was unclear in my last post about Montana Lounge. Actually, SBE still owns the space and is using it until the Hillston Restaurant Group takes over and turns it into Cafe R&D. SBE is just keeping the liquor license active. This is all according to an insider source. She said…
Frittelli's Doughnuts & Coffee: Doughnuts, Not Donuts
What’s a good doughnut supposed to taste like? I thought that Frittelli’s Doughnuts & Coffee in Beverly Hills — self-proclaimed “Best Doughnuts in L.A.” — would be able to tell me but I was disappointingly wrong. Ever since I first heard about their designer doughnuts, way back when I had gone on a brief hiatus…
Speed Barhopping on the Eastsiiide, Part II
After about half an hour at Edison, Andy and I took off for the Hive Gallery’s 2nd anniversary party. I knew nothing about it except that there was art, food, drinks, music, it has apparently been around for two years and this exhibit runs through April 29. Suggested cover was $7 but, hey, it was…
Speed Barhopping on the Eastsiiide, Part I
Last night I met up with Andy from LAist, or as I like to call him “Crazy Andy” — you’d have to know him to understand — for some Eastside barhopping action. The mission? Go where I’ve never gone before and revisit new faves since I rarely get to go to this part of town….
Cocktail Reviews: Spice Rack Cocktails at Ford's
Remember the advent of the cosmo and how suddenly a slew of sweet “martinis” popped up at posh bars and restaurants everywhere? Well I guess the “martini” cocktail has metamorphosed yet again with the arrival of what I’m calling spice rack martinis: cocktails that use unusual-for-a-cocktail taste enhancers other than sugar and chocolate powder. The…
Enough About Me. What Do You Think About Me?
I kid. You’re cute, what’s your name? I feel like you already know a lot about me, now tell me about you. As much as you want to tell. I won’t pry, just the following questions. Short answers are fine but if you want to expand, yay! Judging from the comments, I know there are…
