Bar

I need a Wood & Vine mulligan.

Posted by foodie on Mar 27, 2013 | Comments Off

I recently went to Wood & Vine with a friend of mine and absolutely enjoyed it. Unfortunately, in certain situations, I don’t like to bring my Cannon camera because I think it will disturb the other diners. In this case, I used my phone and the pictures didn’t come out very well, so in lieu of a typical review, I am going to have to take a mulligan on this one. I will have to go back in the next couple weeks and try again.

Oh the hazards of my job….

I will post a proper review as soon as I get back!

Taste of Italy | Downtown Los Angeles

Posted by foodie on Oct 22, 2012 | 0 comments

As the son of a Sicilian immigrant, I was excited to have a chance to go to the Taste of Italy event this year in downtown LA. Images of Italian flags, fare, and music flowed through my mind as I was getting ready to enter the Italian American Museum of LA. As I got to the entrance, the

line of people in a mix of casual, dressy, and the occasionally formal attire stretched before me. When I finally got up to the front of the line to pick up my tasting tickets, I knew that the slim ticket pack of six taste, (three premier tastes or “Q cards” and three regular tastes), and four drink cards would not be enough to satisfy my desires to the try the food of the many booths that lined the inside and outside of the museum.

Naya Sunset | Silverlake, Los Angeles, CA

So far, moving into the Los Feliz area has definitely paid off.  There are great bars in the area, the people are friendly, and I didnt know how much more centralized I am than living in Burbank than when I found out that Naya Sunset is just a mile or so down the street.  So I finally got my butt in gear and got out to go try it.

When you first walk up, you notice the bright red building with copper colored doors stand out from the rest of the cityscape in Silverlake.

As you get closer, you not only can hear the music from the inside, but a person playing bongos to the beat to entice people to approach.
