Long Beach, California is a city that used to apologize for it self. Once home to one of the largest U.S. Navy bases and Naval shipyards in the world as well as McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft and also often referred to as “Iowa by the sea”, Long Beach is currently home to over 600,000 residents. Where the downtown district once was crowded with sailors and merchant seamen from around the ...

Mention the name "Wine Country" to most Californians and they immediately envision the area just north of San Francisco comprised of the three counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino. Without a doubt, this area has been the epicenter of California's emergence as a world-class producer of outstanding wine for the past 40 years.

But, It would be a grievous error to assume that this is the ONLY "Wine Country" in ...

The Fourth Annual International Ink and Iron Fest will be happening this weekend at the Long Beach Queen Mary. If you love tattoos, punk-rock music, food and booze; this is where you should be this weekend! The atmosphere is fantastic and the people are great.

There will be live music all weekend long with bands such as ADHD, U.S. Bombs, The Briggs, Mad Sin and much, much more! Full bars loaded ...

At 4am, it’s hard to find quality cuisine in Los Angeles. Then again, at 4am not much tastes better than grilled ham and melted cheddar on sourdough, or “the Charles Bukowski,” in Fred 62 talk. So when our waitress, who looked 40 but dressed and acted 20, showed up wearing too much lipstick and a skin-tight shirt that read “Jesus is our dishwasher,” it took me more than a few ...

For over 38 years there has been a monthly event going on in Pasadena that only the shopping elite are aware of. From every day people to celebrities, they visit this remarkable gathering in hopes of finding the ultimate shopping items at great low prices. This event is so huge, it only happens the second Sunday of every month: The Rose Bowl Flea Market. With over ...

As a native Angeleno the Hollywood Sign has always been a bit cliché. To visit the Hollywood sign would be akin to going to Grauman's Mann Chinese theatre and comparing my hands to DeNiro's, or else paying for admission to the Hollywood Wax Museum. And let me promise you that it wasn't my intent this time either, I was just looking for an enjoyable hike in the Hollywood ...

A restaurant has opened up in a very strange section of Los Angeles, on 2619 Wilshire Blvd. between Downtown and the Miracle Mile. You'll probably think you're in the wrong place. Even the sign is awkwardly hanging over the awning and doesn't seem to fit. But a few steps indoors and you're suddenly in another world. Through the club which starts hopping a bit later, past ...

There's no denying CPK founder Ed LaDou did great things for the pizza and since his initial bbq chicken and thai chicken concotions the pizza market exploded and everybody pitched in (although I'll never understand the egg and pea pizza). But CPK became so commercial and the quality's started to drop.

The remedy: Stonefire Pizza Co. on North La Cienega. North of the Bev Center about a mile is ...

As the mecca of pizza, it's tough to be the best pizza place in LA. There are some pretty legitimate restaurants who serve up New York thin, Chicago deep, and Bay area novel style pizzas, ALL of which are really good. But there's a new hot spot on Highland which can pretty safely lay claim to being the best pie shop in town.

There's nothing more quintessentially American than taking in a baseball game on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. I know what you're thinking: sports teams in California are a joke. That may be true, people may be more preoccupied with living in trees, eating organic, and spending ridiculous amounts of money on entertainment, but still, baseball is baseball.
