Oh YOU know I love a speakeasy type restaurant located through a “deli” that feels like a secret club. Oh yes, I do! Last Saturday night after a day at the museum, oysters and cocktails with my sister-in-law, her hubby and baby (in a bar!—Quick, what movie?), it was time for a grown up night out […]

A couple of Fridays ago we had one of those enviable L.A. days that is only good for one thing…Spring Fever! My girlfriend and I decided to ditch work early and head downtown to happy hour at Blue Cow Kitchen. This is the new restaurant from the folks that brought us the Mendocino Sandwich Market
