Latin Street Food Fights at Border Grill in Downtown LA

You know what everyone likes but won’t admit to liking? Fights. And I don’t mean a World Star Hip Hop style brawl. I’m talking about a fight between two groups where one claims glorious victory over the other. You’ll never see a girl turn to a guy on the elevator and say, “I love a good

It was a moment straight out of the Ben Affleck movie, The Town. Boston accent and all, I walked inside of TJ’s apartment and approached him as he sat on the couch watching TV. Standing in front of him I asserted, “I need you to come with me. I can’t tell you what we’re doing

Happy Hour at Border Grill in Downtown LA

You know how excited you get when you see exactly what you want on the menu? How about the burst of energy that runs through your body when you see the waitress walking with a tray of your food. “Oh, that’s mine right there!” Then she repeats your order as she places it in front

What do you do with your free time? By “free time”, I don’t mean the 2 minutes you have when you walk out of the office and to your car. I mean free time. When I think of the question, my answers are: explorations with my friends, boxing classes, watching I Love Lucy marathons, and

Mercado in Santa Monica

I’ve always liked tacos–pretty much everyone does, especially around Cinco de Mayo. But I now like them even more thanks to the Downtown Santa Monica Taco Trek. Menu tastings at Border Grill and Copa d’ Oro offered great Mexican inspired dishes and drinks, and now I was at Mercado ready to see what their chef

Valentine’s Day Series: Riviera 31 at Sofitel Los Angeles in Beverly Hills
