L.A. Café in Downtown LA

I love when my friends and I plan things for the weekend. We’ll wake up with the intent to go out and do something more than people watch at a local café shop. We may plan to go to the beach, amusement park, or shopping, Too bad we just get lazy and wind up at

Syrup Desserts in Downtown LA

“If you put your fork in that waffle there’s no going back.” That was the voice of the good angel on my right shoulder. “Just put a fork in it already!” And that would be the not-so-good angel on my left shoulder. That was the situation that I was in as I sat with my

I know that I’m fat on the inside, and kind of on the outside too. But last week, my fatness reached a new level as I encountered my own fat sense. It’s like a Spidey sense, but it doesn’t have a cool costume or web slinging abilities. Instead, it’s an ability to know that something

A few weeks ago I went through a crummy break up and the timing was so inconvenient. Not that there’s a good time for a break up, but if I could schedule it, it would happen on a different day. Why? Because my new found single life just happened to land on the day I

Every once in a while, a moment comes along when you look at a menu and you have to order something different. You’re frozen in place with the decision to try something other than your usual. It’s a frightening situation because you’re so accustomed to your regular drink or food that anything aside from that

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

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

I love a good restaurant and am not particular about the type. As long as the food is good, I’m there. Every now and then I want to check out a nice spot. And by nice, I mean the type of place where fancy pants are encouraged. This time I got to do that when

Ich bin eine Frau! That’s “I am a woman” in German and sadly, it’s the only thing I know how to say. That means I really need to get back onto Duolingo. Although my German may suck, my interest in discovering restaurants (including German ones) doesn’t. Thanks to Berlin Currywurst in Grand Central Market, I
