Flickr shot by acidmoongfx Serious vodka drinkers, can’t make it all the way to Sweden’s famous Absolut Ice Bar any time soon? You may want to check out Nic’s Restaurant & Martini Lounge (LA bucket list #43). I’m not a big vodka drinker myself but this sounds interesting. The Beverly Hills martini lounge, home of the…

Brunch on the Strip: 3 Ways to a Drunken Sunday
Friends have always told me about spending Sundays on the Strip for the brunch at the Saddle Ranch Chop House and the drinking at Cabo Cantina and Miyagi’s but I never got the gumption to check it out until now when it was finally a beautifully sunny day after many weeks of drab. Caught the…
The Burlesque Show at El Cid: So Sexy It's Super
The first and third Thursday night of every month at 10pm (after the flamenco show) El Cid features its Super Burlesque Show with the Hollywood Pin-Up Girls. Andrea and I checked it out the other night and were pleasantly surprised. The stage looked cramped, the sound system was blaringly loud, and the audience was pretty…

Cheeseball: Clementine's Extreme Grilled Cheese-Off
I’ve always loved Clementine in Century City, located off Santa Monica Boulevard directly across the street from the mall. I love them for their wonderful baked goods, their French cafe-style sidewalk setup and especially for their breakfasts. But it wasn’t until now that I realized why I really love them. Because they do things like…
TONIGHT: Cheer on UCLA in Pauley Pavilion

Sounds like it’s going to be so much fun as we’ll party with a few thousand UCLA friends on campus sending out good luck vibes to our boys. There will be pizza, hot dogs and soft drinks for sale as in…
Booty Parlor: Not Your Mom's Tupperware Party
Guys are lucky. They have big ol’ movie theaters where they can watch porn, a gazillion porno mags to choose from at the newsstand and a flourishing porno movie industry dedicated to keeping them happy. Women on the other hand aren’t as lucky as it’s not as socially acceptable for us to be so open…
After the LACMA Late-Night Bash
First off, great party. I loved seeing everyone turn out for this. I loved how the courtyard was set up, the three bars, the interactive mural, the cheapie taco stand and the great exhibits (except for the Ettore Sottsass, didn’t care much for that). My friends and I had gotten there around 7:30 so it…
L.A. Treasure Hunt: The Amazing Race for Charity
Flickr Shot by Netomer I was hooked on TV’s Amazing Race for one season but after several seasons (are we on the 20th Amazing Race season now?) it just started to seem ridiculous. What’s funny though is that now when I travel I think like an AR contestant: “What’s the fastest way to get there?!”…
Go Bruins! 4 Sports Bars for Final Four Showdown
I’m not a huge college basketball fan, but I am a Bruin and the fact that UCLA hasn’t made it into the Final Four since I lived in Westwood has incited even me to consider braving a Westside sports bar this Saturday in support of my team. But the closest I’d dare to get to…
