Nyala
1076 S. Fairfax
Los Angeles, CA

There’s a stretch of Los Angeles’ Fairfax Avenue, just south of Olympic, called Little Ethiopia. Both sides of the street are lined with fragrant smelling, colorful restaurant fronts serving all kinds of ethnic delicacies. Nyala lives on the south east corner of this stretch, and sports a lavender neon sign. The [...]

The Whisper Lounge
189 The Grove Dr.
Los Angeles, CA

So there we were, two girls all jazzed for a free screening at The Grove’s theater of Little Miss Sunshine, and wham-bam, they ran out of seats. De-va-station.
What to do?
Drink. Heavily. We felt we were forced into it, after all.
We shimmied our butts on down to an oft-thought-of [...]

Jar
8225 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA
9.23.06 - Saturday, 8:30 PM
Myself + 1 guest (Internet date, Mr. Smooth)

Time number three at Beverly Blvd.’s Jar trumped the other experiences by a landslide, and that’s sayin’ something; this little honey was already in my favorites list, so I’m all kinds of smitten now. Jar is a gem.

I recently noted the new sign up at the Rita Flora on La Brea and 6th trumpeting the addition of free Wi-Fi.
I asked my food server, Joanna, how long the Wi-Fi had been in place and how well it had been working? She [...]

Between La Brea and La Cienega along streets such as 3rd and Beverly, there are cafes and breakfast places a plenty.
There are definitely “destination” breakfast places in Los Angeles and I’m sure our readership and writership would gladly share their recommendations for the special occasion breakfast.
But what about your favorite routine breakfast place? [...]

With summertime weather taking us outside, it is time for firing up the grill outside!
Jonah got us going on this track with his positive report on TJ’s Carne Asada.
I’m definitely going to give that a try sometime this summer!
However, what if you and your guests are yearning for sausages? Where do you go [...]

Gas conscious, my girlfriends and I carpooled for a Saturday lunch at Puran’s on La Brea. It’s too bad (or ingenious) that their storefront neon sign was white - the same color of the wall behind it. It’s on the east side of the busy city street of La Brea, and it’s easy to miss [...]
