Bordello
In a city like L.A. it’s pretty hard to find a bar/club that stays open for more than a few months. The life span of any club/bar tends to be relatively short if it’s considered a “hot spot”. However, just because a place isn’t crawling with celebs and wannabes doesn’t mean it isn’t super cool

Exotic Sausage
I’m always on the hunt for fun and delicious restaurants and was lucky enough to stumble upon Wurstkuche in downtown LA. One of my classes went on a field trip to this restaurant because one of its owners and founders is a graduate of the USC entrepreneurship program. We all enjoyed delicious sausage, french fries,

New Movie Theatre at LA Live!
As a major movie fan, Tuesday night was a very exciting night for me. It was the grand opening of the Regal Theaters at LA Live! LA Live was swamped with people because of this…and maybe because of the Lakers vs. Clippers game. Right now, it is only showing the Michael Jackson movie, but coming

Everything’s better at Luna
Everyone has their favorite place to eat. Maybe it’s a little diner or coffee shop, or even a hamburger stand…. my favorite place is a combination of all those things wrapped into one amazing dining experience. When I lived in Los Angeles, everyone knew there was one place you could find me EVERY Sunday night

Spook-tacular Costumes
Every year when I see the Pumpkin Spice Latte on the Starbucks drink menu, a little shiver of excitement runs down my spine. Fall has arrived!!! Temps are down (kind of), leaves are falling (not really), and I have a great urge to go back-to-school shopping (even though I graduated years ago). While we may

Le Petit
Tucked away behind the bustling Sunset Boulevard, Le Petit hotel offers a refuge to out-of-towners and Angelenos alike. This Bohemian paradise houses a funky and eclectic collection of local and European touches. In typical French fashion, it’s all in the lavish little details. A tray of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies is offered to guests

Your Home Away from Home
One of LA’s main drags, Hollywood Boulevard, can be… well… a drag. The mix of freaks, bums, and tourists can make the blocks from Las Palmas to Vine nearly unbearable for normal folk like me. With the cat-calling, honking, paparazzi, and loitering, it’s almost too much to handle. Fear not, I have found a sanctuary

Half Baked
Insider information about Rachel Hollis… I spent many summers of my youth working at a deli, and I’m quite the expert dagwood stacker because of it. Also, because of it, I’m super picky about any imposter sandwich shops who claim to be unique fresh delis, but really end up being just another turkey sandwich. However, I was
