FINALLY.  It's been way too long that this has been sitting on my to-do list.  Seriously this is by far my new favorite bar in the city!  Reminiscent of old Havana complete with a smoky cigar overture, this bar is stocked with delicious rum and even more delicious bartenders!

Being a rare night in which my drinks were canceled and I had nothing on the docket, I finally decided to hit the Los Feliz scene and visit the Dresden for a night with Marty & Elayne, who are by far the most adorable duo in the world!  Plus a tres magnifique dinner avec a waiter who treated us like his lovable daughters & instructed us on the finer points of ordering wine at a restaurant + surprised us, literally made us cover our eyes, by splitting our meal onto two plates.

** Absolutely amending this.  Hollywood Forever Cemetery is so over, Barnsdall Art Park screenings are the new thing!  Saw LA Confidential at what was perhaps the BEST outdoor screening series I've ever been to.  + they had food trucks there, including the amazing Lake Street Creamery!

The Derby Dollz are to die for!  This was an absolutely amazing event and a great time all around.  I'm certain I'll be back at the Doll Factory cheering them on!

There aren't any more dinners scheduled, but I did get a chance to try Auntie Em's at the Taste of Beverly Hills.  And while their food was yummy home cooked goodness, I think I've had better on that front.  Maybe their Market Dinner's are a whole new experience, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be an option for quite a while.

Totally obsessed!! The foodie in me is hooked, and the fresh produce to die for.  Thanks Jules for adding it to my list :-)
