I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles. I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places. I recently decided to corral that inventory into a guide […]
I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie. I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below). If a restaurant has bone marrow […]
I love coffee pretty much more than life itself, but very rarely do I visit independent coffee houses. I am all about my Starbucks. I know, I know, true java aficionados are probably shaking their heads right now. But I like consistency – I like knowing that I can go into any Starbucks in any […]
If there is one thing I love almost as much as stalking, it’s shopping – and shopping in Los Angeles is in a class all its own. When I first moved to SoCal in 2000, I found myself in retail heaven. The city boasts a myriad of cute shopping districts, fabulous marketplaces, and one-of-a-kind stores. […]
I originally had more than twenty places featured on this list, but, to make it easier on myself, I decided to break up my Things To Do category into “Play” and “See.” Today, I’ll be covering Play, aka Los Angeles activities and attractions that I recommend. Enjoy! 1. Disneyland (1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim) – OK, […]
Today marks the end of my Guide to L.A. posts. I hope you had as much fun reading the series as I did putting it together. As I mentioned in yesterday’s article, to make things easier on myself I broke up my Things to Do recommendations into two categories, “Play” and “See,” though some of […]
The internet lit up this week with news that actor Paul Reubens is embarking upon a 20-city 35th Anniversary Tour celebrating Pee-wee’s Big Adventure starting next February. Coincidentally, the house where Reubens’ titular character, Pee-wee Herman, lived in the 1985 comedy has long been on my list of To-Blog Christmas locales. And no, I haven’t […]
I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information. Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases. Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008 holiday […]
Speaking of Cameron Woods (in case you missed Monday’s post, you can read it here) . . . while wandering around the neighborhood recently I was reminded of a spot that I stalked long ago but had yet to blog about – the house belonging to Pete (Brian Petsos) in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids. As […]
I have never been a burger girl (I know, I know), but I’ve long been familiar with Altadena staple Fair Oaks Burger. The veteran eatery sits at the northern end of Fair Oaks Avenue and, though I never popped in for a bite, I passed by it countless times throughout the 15+ years I lived […]
Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles. While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building. I’d heard of […]
Not only do The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere share a leading lady, Reese Witherspoon, but the two new series also seem to be sharing locations! Both made use of The Wolves, an insanely beautiful downtown Los Angeles bar that I blogged about in December, as well as Hotel Barclay, a historic and oft-filmed […]
