Other possibilities: Farfalla, 1978 Hillhurst, Campagnola, 1553 Westwood Bl, Far Niente, 204 1/2 N. Brand (Glendale), Marino, 6001 Melrose Ave. On the high end, people either love or hate Giorgio Baldi, 114 W. Channel Road (Santa Monica), which gets a lot of visitors from Malibu Colony. Ciao.
France and Berlin are very nice places today. Someone with the moniker Hollywood must have an opinion on Bordeaux? Hey, if you're buying, I'm drinking it. I like Bordeaux but Rhone's more in my price range.
Angeli Caffe on Melrose is nice and very reasonable, but you won't spot any celebs like at Orso. For a good cheap breakfast in Palm Springs: Louise's Pantry 44491 Town Center Way, Palm Desert, CA 92260 Phone: (760) 346-9320
This is a question some trial lawyers ask jurors (if the judge lets em get away with it) during voir dire. It's sad how many people pick Jesus and how few pick Plotnicki. Gertrude Stein might be good. Thomas DeQuincey? Jack Kerouac when sober.
Since it sounds like you won't be drinking the wine, why not just let your husband order by the glass? That way he can try a couple of wines if he likes, or even a cocktail.
This doesn't make sense to me. There must be promotional and other considerations at work. How else to explain how some obscure one person site can be so high in the voting?
virtually every single california roll i've ever had, at sushi restaurants, is made with this. i quite like it. You, my friend, have been to the wrong sushi restaurants. You're in for a treat when you get the real thing.
My dad introduced us to pouring milk over cake when we were young. I think it was a Depression-era thing he was raised on. We still offer cake "in a bowl with milk" to other family and friends who think we're nuts, but it's great. The Depression era story I get from my father in law is about coffee soup--coffee poured over slices of bread in the old bowl.
Is it Angelina or Angeleno? Regardless, a friend went to their Oscar party and said it was a bust. Just a bunch of wannabees. So, maybe their picks are well suited.
