Last Friday Hotel Shangri-la launched its new cocktail menu conceived my new barman Cole Apodaca (Santa Monica's best kept secret). Check out his alluring Berry Apropos comprised of St. Germain, Black Razz Belvedere, white cranberry, Champagne, fresh berries, and dry ice.
Pablo Moix's Trinidad Sour at my newest obsession, Harvard & Stone. Seriously, this is LA's next best bar, understated industrial cool, hip, with a cozy fire hole. Yup, indoor fire hole. Love. It.
LA's best donuts from Zelda's Corner Deli in Venice.
Hawaiian tuna sashimi from Poke Poke just off the Venice Boardwalk.
Not only was I pleasantly surprised by Hotel Shangri-la's cocktails, the food there is actually really great as well. The Hotel's ground floor restaurant is a total undiscovered gem. Above, roasted lobster with Brussels sprouts.
Beet salad from One Pico inside Shutters, Santa Monica.
Go Burger's duck fat fries, Hollywood.
Beautiful Pear brulee from Hostaria del Piccolo, Santa Monica.
Crust Bakery's Saltine cracker brittle.
An assortment of house-made terrines from Le Saint Amour, Culver City.
