Bold Flavors at The Tripel
In general, I pretty much despise driving out to the West Side of Los Angeles. It’s an arduous, congested drive that can suck the soul from your body. However, there are a few culinary draws that make the trek more than worth the effort: Bay Cities Deli and Don Antonio’s in Santa Monica, Mariscos Chente …
MB Post in Manhattan Beach Kiiiind of Blows My Mind
When it comes to dining in Los Angeles, I more or less stick to a grid that spans from West Hollywood to Downtown (with many stops in Koreatown in between). It’s not often that I head west to Brentwood or Santa Monica, and it’s even rarer that I head off to the South Bay, a …

Burger mania has swept Los Angeles over the past few years, with spots such as Umami, Stout, Gold Coast, Father’s Office, The Counter, and 8oz (RIP) all vying for a position at the top of the totem pole.

Raphael in Studio City Reminds Us That There Really Is Sophistication in The Valley
There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to Los Angeles: this side of the hills is good, and that side is bad. And by “that side,” I mean the San Fernando Valley, home of strip malls, the porn industry, and the iconic “Valley girl.” Of course, strip malls, porn, and Valley girls all …
Dining at Hollywood’s Boho, Version 2.0
Here in Hollywood, the most revered movie theater is not Grauman’s Chinese Theater but instead the Arclight Cinemas on nearby Sunset Boulevard. It’s a great, upmarket destination that draws masses of people every night, and for the past few years, movie patrons could walk around the corner to the neighboring restaurant Boho for some pre …
