DTLA Lunch @ Industriel
While I say I’m a “recovering Foodie”, I frequently find myself relapsing into old habits…like stalking new restaurants. In the months before Industriel opened I thought it was going to be a Gallery, but when I found out it was a restaurant I excitedly counted down until the opening-then completely forgot about the place and…

My Sawtelle Stroll
There’s a small stretch of Sawtelle Bl that is the Westside’s version of Little Tokyo. In all my years of living near this area, I never spent time over there, but Saturday I needed to go to Giant Robot to look for a gift for a friend, and found some pleasant surprises. They’ve got the…

The Art of Compromise-Donuts and Clock Watching at LACMA
A recent conversation with my husband: Me: “Hey honey, they’re giving away free donuts at LACMA for 24 hours…” Husband: “Wow, really?” Me: “Yeah, a different donut every hour”. *Looking at donut schedule* “Maple Bacon?!

Chocolate Love
I have never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day, but I will say the one thing I love about the occasion is the licence to enjoy CHOCOLATE with reckless abandon. My co-workers all know that at around 4:00 I must nosh on a single small bite of chocolate. You could set your watch to…

Unique Gift Ideas… Made Easier!
Determined to re-write my history of procrastinating on Christmas shopping, last Sunday I found myself wandering aimlessly in the mall desperately looking for Christmas gift inspiration. Fail. There’s got to be an easier way! Instead of shopping on-line or taking advantage of Small Business Saturday deals, I waited and went to the mall. It’s the…

As the temps begin to cool and daylight begins its slow retreat, I look back wistfully on a great summer which included 5 beautiful days on this beach in Maui! I found myself pre-occupied with everything except Art this summer, but it felt good to give my blog a little vacation during the last two…

NOLA Part II
I’ll admit , the goal for my trip to New Orleans involved food: lots of scrumptious, rich, Creole food. Alas, this isn’t a food blog so I’ll refrain from gushing about some of the best meals I’ve ever had… Wait a minute, I can’t pass up a chance to talk about these restaurants, so let…

Art, Drinks and Food Trucks: A Match Made in Heaven or a Recipe for Disaster?
The only thing hotter than the 113° degree heat wave in Downtown L.A. was the firestorm created Friday by one little press release. DTLA’s famed Art Walk, a monthly event where visitors eat, drink and participate in self guided gallery tours was reportedly at risk when the Art Walk’s Director unceremoniously issued a press release stating…

The Impressionists and Guerilla Foodies: Exquisite Rebellion in Paris
Disclaimer: I am not an art critic, and did not study Art History. I’m simply crazy about Contemporary Art. In my quest for knowledge I slowly learn as I go, and while I’m not going to love, understand or appreciate everything I see, each museum exhibit or gallery visit I attend opens my eyes and…
