Kreation

The one LA trend I did not want to give into was the health craze.  Everything there is organic, free range, GMO free, pilates.  B.S., I say.  But after a workout on Sunday morning I needed to stop somewhere before passing out and Kreation was the closest place I could walk into.  It was pretty…

Blue Plate Taco

One of my main missions in LA was to eat as many fish tacos as possible.  It’s one of those quintessential SoCal dishes that has not been perfected on the same scale on the East Coast.  On our first day in Santa Monica, Albert and I sought out the local treat and went no further…

3 on Thursday

I can’t believe there was a time when I was considering not going to Hart’s wedding.  I had the best time and was so happy to celebrate such a fun and beautiful occasion with everyone.  That said, it has been a whirlwind with this being the fifth wedding in just six weeks, topped off with…

Bouligny Tavern

Since none of us are from New Orleans, we decided to ask our restaurant hostess (from Coquette) for recommendations.  We told her we wanted something in the neighborhood with a relaxed vibe where we could get a good glass of wine or cocktail.  We weren’t looking to flash for beads if ya know what I’m sayin.…

Coquette

A coquette is a coy flirt, which is just how Bridge, Liz, and I wanted to feel on our last night in New Orleans.  With the boyfriends/husbands at home, we wanted to flirt with the town…but it’s a mature flirt – more Magazine Street than Bourbon Street.  Bridget’s local foodie friend recommended the farm to…
