Last week I adventured out with Darius to accomplish some of my goals. I'd say we made a pretty hefty dent in my list. But there is much more to go.
Getty: This is cheating kind of. There was a college night at the Getty and I went with my roommate. I say it was somewhat cheating because like the Hammer, I had already signed up and intended to go. But actually, the night of Getty, I was seriously contemplating not going just because I was tired and not feeling it. WOW. I sound like my students. What a sorry excuse...but in the end I'm glad I pulled myself together and went. It was awesome and totally worth it. Note: go to the Getty at night...it's infinitely cooler.
Mio Babbo: Little Italian restaurant down the street in Westwood from where I live. It was a little pricey but the chicken in my Salad and in D's pasta was out of this world!! A+++ for just the chicken! It's a perfect and cute little place for a date. I will definitely be coming back here. Bonus: You get to keep the little glass cup that they serve the gelato in.
Vegan Glory: Slightly above average Asian fusion vegan joint on Beverly. The portions were perfect for me and Darius to feel comfortable but not exploding. We had room for dessert also. which brings me toooo....
Spoon by H: Had shaved ice which was...NOT worth it! It was way too sweet and I was freezing (which is not their fault but adds to the idea that this place and I were not meant to be). I prefer Blockheads shaved snow all day everyday (one of my regulars with D).
Hurry Curry: Average Japanese Curry place on Sawtelle. nbd.
Beard Papa: CUSTOM CREAM PUFFS!!!! Why have I never heard of this place before?? Apparently it's a chain and there's one in Irvine too! What happens is you pick a shell that you want (the outer part of the cream puff) and then a filling. Then you can watch them PUMP the filling INTO the shell. BOOM mind explosion. It was so cute! and delicious of course.
More to come!! Planning to attend ucla artsy things soon!
