I have often heard of Michael’s in Santa Monica and have walked by it many times but never had a chance to visit until recently and was pleasantly surprised.
I was invited to check out a live music/dining venue in Santa Monica last week, and given that I am a live music fan, I decided to check it out. Angel’s Piano Bar and Supper Club on Wilshire Boulevard and 24th Street is an old establishment that has had a recent face lift and the owners are hoping t
The neighborhood we live in is finally becoming trendy and “discovered” which has both positive and negative points. After a few years in Santa Monica we moved to Mar Vista-Culver City border five years ago to find a little less trendiness and more of a down-to-earth quality that was appealing.

I have had two restaurant experiences that were worth talking about in the last month, but for very different reasons. Let me get the bad news over with in the name of Pho Show on Sepulveda Boulevard in Culver City.

My husband and I were invited to experience an unusual food event the other night at 1418 Abbott Kinney called Bare Naked Bliss. The lovely center that hosted it, Ascended Living, is on the second floor of a building that promotes itself as an urban oasis.
As a food person who teaches cooking, I often get asked what my favorite restaurant in L.A. is — a daunting question for anyone due to the magnitude and expanse of such a place as Los Angeles.

Main Street has a new restaurant that is worth taking a special trip. La Grande Orange located at 1000 Main St. is one of the best places I have been to on this trendy, but quaint street.
