Valley Greek Festival
Do I like Greek food? As my best gal pal Vanessa would say: does a one legged duck swim in a circle?
The answer is a resounding Ne! (which sounds like no, but is actually yes, in Greek.)

MILK open house
In a rather savvy cross-promotion (actually, a no-brainer, when you think about it…) the delightful ice-cream parlor and café on Beverly, Milk, teamed up with the Got Milk? people (namely, the Cali Milk Processor Board) to host an open house last night.

DineLA Restaurant Week Report: GRACE
Normally, a place like Grace would be a very special occasion dining choice for me, so restaurant week seemed like the perfect time to try it.
