Pier 76 Fish Grill in Long Beach

This past weekend, my inner kid came out as my boyfriend and I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific.  As we walked throughout the exhibits, I found myself saying, “oooh” at the sea lions or “ahhh” at the jellyfish. It was annoying how uncontrollably giddy I was looking at all of the sea animals.

The Raymond in Pasadena

A lot of people have a bucket list. It’s full of places to explore, celebrities to meet, or adventures to have. For myself, I have a restaurant bucket list. It’s made up of places I want to try because they make appetizing food or are highly recommended; all narrated (in my head) by Morgan Freeman

I’m not big on celebrating my birthday. I don’t need a party nor do I care for a ton of gifts patiently waiting to be opened by yours truly. Instead, I prefer to go to a restaurant with friends or coworkers and have a low-key meal. Earlier this month, a coworker took me out for

Aventine Hollywood in Hollywood

There’s a beauty in the city of Hollywood that people don’t always see. It’s often goes unnoticed because of all the people trying to “make it” in the city of flashing lights. You’ve experienced it: the so-called writer handing out his screenplay on the sidewalk or the CVS cashier who breaks out into Whitney Houston’s

Valentine’s Day Series: BOA Santa Monica

A few weeks ago, I kicked off dine L.A. at BOA in Santa Monica. The restaurant is in a prime attraction area since it sits just off of the beach on Santa Monica Blvd. and is walking distance from The Promenade. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed and is just right for couples. On my

dine L.A. Restaurant Week: Tagine in Beverly Hills

My last foodie stop for dine L.A took me to Tagine in Beverly Hills. Co-owned by the oh-so dreamy Ryan Gosling, Tagine is a Moroccan restaurant with a sophisticated menu and beautiful décor. For Restaurant Week, Tagine offered diners a three course meal for $50. Taking a look over the menu, you can see an

dine L.A.’s Restaurant Week: Il Fornaio

dine L.A.’s Restaurant Week ended yesterday, so this post comes just after the foodie fun. But since I love food and you love food—being tardy really shouldn’t matter. During the event, my boyfriend TJ and I went to a spot that was a big hit on our Restaurant Week list because of their extravagant menu at

Philippe’s in Downtown LA (Free Chili Day!)

In case you missed it, you missed something good. Sorry if that sounds like I’m “rubbing it in”, but it’s pretty true. Yesterday, Philippe the Original in Downtown LA had their 5th annual “Free Chili Day” sponsored by Dolores Chili and it was such a lively event! If you don’t know of Philippe, they’re one

It’s that time of year. Various hues of pink are popping up everywhere and teddy bears with giant red hearts are propped against store aisles. Add to that, the scent of romance is slowly wafting into the air so you know it means Valentine’s Day is on its way. If you happen to be someone
