This Downtown LA Bar Went 100% Vegan and You Need to Try Their New Menu

I’m going to take a wild guess and say that I think the universe is still trying to make me eat healthier. In the most non-subtle of ways I’m catching vegetables popping up everywhere around the food I plan to eat. Beets in my latte from Drink Houz, avocado in my ice cream from Helado’s

Get Your Afternoon and Late Night Taco Fix at Mezcalero in Downtown LA

Downtown Los Angeles isn’t shy to welcoming new bars and restaurants. Within the big little city places have closed, moved, and returned but what always seems to remain is the frequency of eateries opening their doors for the first time. I love to see a restaurant wipe down the counters and welcome in new guests

Bars are nothing new to a heavily populated city, and Los Angeles is no exception. Having a handful of bars to choose from within LA can make the decision to find the right location to spend the evening a difficult one. Should you go somewhere in Downtown? Should you go to one near the beach

Brack Shop Tavern is DTLA’s New Bar without the Douchebag Feeling

I don’t think anyone likes to sit in traffic. I might be making an assumption on behalf of all mankind, but I don’t believe there’s a single person who finds joy in it. Should there be someone reading this who feels I’m wrong, you’re nuts, and I don’t mean like Planters. I mean like Courtney

What are you willing to do for food? When you think of that question, I hope you’re answer doesn’t verge on criminal activity. If it is, then feel free to discuss it at length with a therapist, or a police officer. If I’m the one answering the question then I’d say: I’m willing to sweat

Gamz in Downtown LA

It was 1:06pm and I was running late. I was invited to check out the brand new bar Gamz in Downtown LA prior to its September 10 grand opening along with some bloggers and Instagrammers and I was six minutes late. I know with these types of events five minutes is fine, but I was

Quick Drinks: The Alley in Culver City

A few posts ago I wrote about the great dinner I had at Fin in Culver City. But at the end of it, I left you with a cliffhanger about a speakeasy that lay tucked away behind the restaurant. That speakeasy is The Alley. The Alley is named after its convenient location and even though

FIN in Culver City

I have so much respect for sushi, but that wasn’t always the case. For the longest time I turned my nose up to it because I generalized all sushi to look and taste like rotten fish. It was overpriced, disgusting, and probably still moving. There was nothing anyone could do to make me think otherwise.

Mrs. Fish in Downtown LA

I don’t think that I’m old, but I’m sure I act like I am. Throughout my college years and those after, I went to my share of house parties and clubs, but after a few years I grew out of it. I don’t know if it’s because my calves weakened from standing in too many
