If you have ever been to the infamous Italian eatery, Dan Tana’s in West Hollywood, then you will surely recognize the new owner of the latest dining hot spot: Craig’s. Craig Susser, widely known from his 23-year stint as a waiter turned general manager then maître d of Dan Tana’s is receiving quite the accolades for his new joint, which boasts a menu with a little “something-something” for everyone.

Despite the rain this past Wednesday night, the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood was packed with attendees who were eager to experience an evening of laughter and witty banter. This jubilant affair, entitled, “Defining the Modern Man,” courtesy of Dewar’s Scotch Whiskey, was a comical debate led by Talk Soup and NBC’s Community star, Joel McHale.

Any food connoisseur in Los Angeles is quite familiar with the former restaurant, Grace on Beverly Blvd. Having loved the food at that stuffy little place, I was sad to see it go, but more intrigued to see what it would be replaced with. After daily drive bys past my former haunt, the newly redesigned restaurant had finally secured fresh ownership and an updated look, with a Spanish tapas style menu not even the pickiest of “foodies” could ignore. Enter, Playa, the latest Latin restaurant from Chef John Sedlar.

The 5th Annual “Two Kings” after dinner held at Craft Restaurant, followed by the Bing sponsored after party at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in Beverly hills, was indeed the place to be during “All Star Weekend.” Celebrity attendees not only included hosts, Jay-Z and Lebron James, but Beyonce (of course in the most amazing bedazzled shoes ever), Rhianna (dancing to her own tunes), Ciara, Leonardo DiCaprio with his usual entourage and gal pal, Bar Rafaeli.

I have been in the market for a new car, but have been hard pressed to find a decent looking Hybrid that doesn’t make me squirm every time I look at it. Although, it’s not necessary to drive a Hybrid, I live in Los Angeles, and I am tired of people glaring at me through their wheat grass shots, as I exit my high consumption vehicle. Therefore, finding a more fuel-efficient (yet still stylish) car is high on my “must do” list. Enter the efficient luxury automobile.

The stars were aligned last night at the opening of the new Giuseppe Zanotti boutique in Beverly Hills. The high-end boutique was swarming with ambitious Hollywood starlets, musicians and the fashion savvy elite.

It’s that time of year again, when every company is unveiling their latest luxury gift, gadget, car or must have fashion staple. I have narrowed down the list to the most unique and lavish toys out there.

Sitting high amongst the historical Wilshire Corridor in Westwood’s array of sky scraping hi-rises is the latest construction from the developers of the Plaza Hotel New York; The Carlyle.

Growing up between Los Angeles and Phoenix, I’ve never experienced a “real” winter. Sure, I have been to Aspen in December, Vail in February and Sun Valley in March; yet, somehow unknowingly, I have always managed to plan these trips when the sun is as bright as Richard Simmons’ hot pants and warm enough to strip down to just my thermal and ski pants. I take off my gloves and plow down the slopes full force, wondering if by chance, I will ever actually be in a real winter snowfall.
