The Cork, Los Angeles, CA

   This is a great hole in the wall if you know what I mean! A "hole in the wall" is not a bad thing, so please dont take it that way!! This is the first bar/lounge/club that I have went to in LA that has awesome food!! I'm a Southern Lady and I love good fried catfish and fried chicken and this place has both!! The drinks are great, made just right! Great music and great people! If you havent been to this place its worth a try!! I have to admit the menu is a little pricey and its a very small place, but this is a place I would go to every blue moon. Please get there early because the place will become standing room only pretty fast!! One perk....theres never a cover! Oh and they do have happy hour!!

Cafe Entourage (Hollywood, CA)

Cafe Entourage is a fairly new place in Hollywood. Great food and service with a smile. Its really a cute place. I love the purple, silver and black decor. They also have a roof top area. I went here during the week for lunch and I was impressed. It was pretty quiet and low key. So me and my friend arrived pretty late in the afternoon and was happy to find out that we made it just in time for the lunch specials!! They had a $10 Lunch menu which had some pretty good options. When I ordered I was affraid that they would bring out some little bitty food portions, but I was wrong!! The portions were more than enough. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was pretty tasty (a little salty but I like salt:)). So I will be going back soon!! Btw they have Brunch on Sundays

Piano Bar: Hollywood, California

Lets go out to the Piano Bar!! This is such a nice, cool, and hip place to be!! When you walk into the place you feel like you just walked into a bar that's really in New York!! Its truly a treat! The live music and the affordable cocktails are to die for!! I was so impressed!! This place is in Hollywood so I was expecting to pay alot!! There was no cover charge and one drink can run  you about 7 bucks!! You cant beat that in a Hollywood establishment!! One thing...Its a very small place, so get there early this place gets packed fast! You can also make reservations because this place will become standing room only once the bands show up!! Great Place for a Date and Jazz/Blues lovers!!

This rooftop in Venice is a must see!! I know its cold out there but its worth going to see the beautiful sunset over Venice Beach! So dress warm (they do have heated lamps). It gives Venice a different look you can appreciate if you know what I mean. So try it out. Oh they serve Hot chocolate!! Not too pricey its worth a try!! Definitely a great place to have a cocktail with a beautiful view!! Btw: it opens a 4pm but please check the website for more info.

Chef Gordon Ramsay at The London Hotel, West Hollywood, CA

I am getting all happy on the inside to tell everyone about this spot!! No....havent been there yet but this will be a must go for me! I'm a huge fan of Chef Ramsay and I cant really tell you why!? LOL! I think its the accent and the way he talks so bad to the contestant on his shows!! LOL! Any who..I found out that he is running the London Hotel Resturant! But the best part of the news is the Happy Hour inspired by him!! So if your on a budget like me, you still get a chance to taste the work of Chef of Ramsay of Hells Kitchen!
