Ferget chocolates. I don’t know about you but nothing says “olive juice”(mouth it) like a custom-made cocktail. But out of curiosity, I asked some of L.A.’s top mixologists/bartenders what they consider to be the most romantic cocktail; specifically what would they serve their luh-vuh. I got some interesting answers, all seem to involve bubbly, and…

The Nommiest Dessert: Joan's on Third's Nutella Poundcake
For World Nutella Day last week, Joan’s on Third made the yummiest poundcake I ever heard of: Nutella poundcake. Why didn’t anyone tell me that such a thing of beauty existed? Luckily I found out from Nastassia of Let Me Eat Cake, who happens to work at Joan’s and who was good enough to save…

There’s more going on this Sunday the 14th than romantic candlelit dinners (although there does seem to be a ton of those this year) and long walks on the beach. You don’t have to be all in luuuuve and stuff to enjoy the following events. If anything, I say go on and enjoy them with…

Tahiti and Kelly Slater in 3D IMAX
I’ve always wanted to go to Tahiti to swim with the turtles in its blue waters and lounge on its white beaches, especially now with the recent bad weather in L.A. But after seeing The Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D IMAX at the California Science Center for its world premiere earlier this week, my desire has…
Blog Bite: Agave Disparo at Comme Ca
Had the Comme Ca Agave Disparo ($12) with Herradura silver tequila, lime juice, grenadine, orange blossom water, lemon soda. Great cocktail for those looking for something light and it’s not too intimidating for a tequila drink. It’s poured over a huuuge block of ice so not really much liquid to it. I tried to stretch…

Beacon Rediscovered: Butterscotch Pudding, Happy Hour, Quality Dinner
The last time I had dinner at Beacon in Culver City was, wow, a boyfriend-and-many-bad-dates ago and pre CoC. I vaguely remember having the Bento box and not really having anything stand out about my dining experience. I’ll blame it on the company back then. Heh. In any case I hadn’t gone back til I…
Blog Bite: Jack n Jill's Too Happy Hour
Trying something new here where I blog when I’m out and about since I have a WP app on my iPhone. Woo hoo! Having brunch this Sunday morning at Jack n Jill’s Too and spotted their happy hour sign: $5 baby back ribs, pulled pork sliders, bowl of gumbo, sweet potato melts and $3 Heineken,…
La Descarga: A Little Bit of Havana With Rum, Cigars & Dancing Girls
It was a hot, sticky night in Havana. Men in suits were lounging in the new happening bar, trying to cool off with chilly mojitos and Cuba Libres. Their ladies all dolled up in clingy dresses shimmied to the thrum of the Conga music blaring through the speakers in the main room. Meanwhile a burlesque…
