Mixology fans, have I got a treat for you. In an old auto-body shop in the divisively self proclaimed NoHo Arts District, lives a bar helmed by Jonny Whitton (Seven Grand & Villains Tavern) and road readied by the Liquid Assests dynamic duo of Marcos Tello and Aidan Demarest.

Valentine’s Day: the celebration of overprix-fixe plates, pressure laden plans of romantic bliss, and otherwise available single ladies crying themselves to sleep over re-runs of Sex in the City.

Yesterday in Culver City was the Indie Arts and Crafts Festival: Patchwork. It is exactly what it sounds like, independent artists and crafters get together to pimp their wares. However, this is not your grandma’s craft fair…not that your grannie’s not cool… but these are hipster crafts with buzzwords like ‘up-cycling’ and ‘sustainable’ in their […]
