A little while back I wrote up a short review on Rita Flora on 3rd and La Brea.

I recently noticed the kitchen looked dark and decided to check out the web page and found out the kitchen has closed after 17 years of operation but the florist part of the business remains.

While walking around the Farmer’s Market, I finally noticed the venerable Dupars has completed its renovations and is open again. It has actually been open since the beginning of the year but I hadn’t noticed! Of course, I went in and had a breakfast of beef hash and eggs with coffee.

Lastly, continuing on the venerable LA restaurants theme, the Hamlet (formerly Hamburger Hamlet) is trying to re-assert itself onto the scene. One of my co-workers received some coupons from the nearby Hamlet which I suppose is part of their marketing campaign. Well, it worked! We went and enjoyed their burgers for lunch. I also checked out their web page and found out their new web site launched on February 15, 2007. While mousing around the web page, I see they are offering a half-priced appetizer happy hour.
