    Retro Dairy Mart from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ “That’s L.A. – they worship everything and they value nothing.”  So says Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) while lamenting the closure of a historic jazz club and its subsequent transition into a samba/tapas place in La La Land.  Though I did not like the movie (as mentioned previously), I have to agree with Seb on this…

    Kyra Sedgwick’s Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

    ‘ I found out a few weeks ago that Kyra Sedgwick would be receiving the 2,384th Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on the morning of Monday, June 8th.  So, I immediately called up my good friend Blaze and asked him if he wanted to join me in watching the ceremony.   He, of course, said yes,…

    Saddle Peak Lodge from “Bones”

    ‘ There is no shortage of historic restaurants in Los Angeles that have appeared onscreen.  Despite their abundance, I thought I was well-versed on pretty much all of them.  One I went completely unaware of for years, though, was Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas.  I only learned of the 100-plus-year-old eatery in March 2013 while…

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…

  • The Carlyle Hotel

    The Carlyle Hotel

    ‘ Yet another of my favorite New York haunts is the ultra-exclusive Carlyle Hotel, located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.  I blogged about the Carlyle’s famous Bemelman’s Bar, which was featured in Sex and the City: The Movie, after last year’s trip to the Big Apple, but didn’t include much information on the actual hotel…

    Premiering It With Miss Pinky Lovejoy

    ‘ I spent all morning yesterday taking care of some business on the West Side and then the afternoon stalking the premiere of The Possession with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow with…
