I occasionally like to imbibe a cocktail or dine in a hotel. It feels extra glamorous and I can pretend I’m a traveller in a foreign land. So when a visiting friend suggested we meet for lunch at the Hotel Intercontinental, on Avenue of the Stars, [...]

So I haven’t actually had a full meal at this place yet, but based on my first short experience with it, I think it looks very promising, and I want to spread the word to help these people out.
I was going to Kay n’ Dave’s with a couple of friends tonight, and we parked [...]

Ford’s Filling Station
9531 Culver Blvd., 90232
(310) 202-1470
$34 + tax, tip

I haven’t ever really “live blogged” a meal before, but I am here at the Bergamot Cafe with my laptop and a meal, so why not?
The Bergamot Cafe is in Bergamot Station, at the end of Michigan Avenue in Santa Monica. I was tipped off to the cafe by my mom who ate here one [...]
