I recently discovered this hidden gym of a restaurant tucked into a quiet street in the heart of downtown L.A., Strada Eateria & Bar! The menu is filled with all kinds of dishes that highlight the owner and chef’s focus on European “street food”, but done in a much more elevated fashion. Each dish was […]
I love that Randy’s Donuts has a monthly special, and this time they had two in time for the holidays! I stopped by the Inglewood location to have a taste… For the entire month of December, all locations will have their Ugly Christmas Sweater Donuts, but honestly, I thought they were adorable!

I headed to West Hollywood’s The Roof at EDITION to try a limited-time only launch of the Black Widow cocktail in celebration of Dia de los Muertos and Halloween.
