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.

My friend won in ...

There's nothing better to do on a beautiful day than take a leisurely drive up PCH to get fish'n'chips. Take PCH north past Pepperdine and on your right, right before the famous Malibu trailer park (where Matthew McConaughey has recently set up camp), will be Malibu Seafood.

They offer delicious fish'n'chips, plus a wide array of other seafood and fried chicken strips to satisfy any craving. It can be ...

Hamburger Mary's, located at Sweetzer and Santa Monica Blvd. in the heart of West Hollywood, is a raucous gay-friendly establishment with delicious drinks, great burgers, and fun theme nights. Wednesdays are Bingo nights, hosted by Belle-Aire, a hilarious drag queen with a biting humor, and are co-hosted by a D-List celebrity. (Well, Paris Hilton co-hosted once.) There are some seriously good prizes to be won, and the ...

So, Sprinkles may be an open secret to Angelenos by now, but I'm sure those visiting LA for the first or second time have yet to be wowed by the little drops of culinary heaven this teensy little joint has to offer.

Located on Little Santa Monica Blvd. between Bedford and Camden (next to La Salsa), the line for Sprinkles often winds out the door and down the sidewalk. But ...
