Clock Out of Work and Find Favorite Plates at Lunetta in Santa Monica

Stop for a second and consider how much time you spend in a day at your job. Maybe you have a part-time gig and you show up when you’re needed. Or maybe you have the role of hustler/entrepreneur in which every hour where you have your eyes open are considered working hours. Whichever one you

Planned Parenthood LA’s “Food Fare” Brings Top Restaurants Together for a Great Cause

Planned Parenthood holds a special place in my heart for all the work they do in the communities they serve. Even more, Planned Parenthood holds a special place in my uterus for all the free birth control they’ve given me. As blunt and foolish as the second half of that truth may sound, it’s still

Experience the Gargantua Menu Before It Disappears

“It’s the last day.” They were four difficult words to hear considering what it pertained to. It wasn’t about a graduation, an employee termination, or the end of a relationship. It was the end of a menu. Sure it’s not as serious as finishing school, leaving a job, or saying goodbye to a significant other,

Experience an Italian Inspired Brunch from O+O Sicilian Kitchen in Santa Monica

It seems like there’s an avid love for brunch that isn’t going anywhere. Not that I want it to, it just seems that over the last couple of years the clamor for the midday style of eating has grown in popularity. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of anything that took me out of bed

Del Frisco’s Grille in Santa Monica Has the Perfect Brunch for the Tourist and Local

I can’t explain why Santa Monica has been getting so much of time lately, but I also don’t care to do so. Being around what seems to be the bluest of skies, the glistening water, and what could be the freshest of air (by LA standards at least) is an extremely relaxing feeling. Living in

Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern in Santa Monica Has Something Good for Everyone

I can’t predict the future, but something tells me this summer is going to be a hot one. Maybe I’m merely reflecting on past summers where temperatures at 8am were close to ninety degrees, but I would bet that 2017 will have a similar summer.

This Meat Lover Went Vegetarian and Got More than She Expected at Flower Child

“I just want to be happy.” he said. The sentence stopped me in my tracks as I was taking photos of dishes at Flower Child in Santa Monica. It was a hard sentence to hear from anyone, but coming from an older man discussing his divorce, it struck a chord. I have no real understanding
