Bienvenidos a Miami

What will soon be my view...

What will soon be my view...

My January is going to be an interesting one. On deck I have a bachelorette party to plan + attend (for my best friend in the whole wide world). I have never been to Miami but the white sand beaches, art deco architecture and Cuban cuisine are calling my name. Since you have been so helpful in the past, would you mind recommending some fun things (eating, shopping, dancing)  for 18 girls to do while in South Beach for a long weekend?

love the art deco everywhere

Oh, I said it would be interesting. From Miami, I fly straight to the frozen tundra of Detroit for 7 days at the North American International Auto Show. Talk about climate change. I have been there before and will undoubtedly be taking my fellow food loving work friends to get a late night ‘heavy’ (chili dog with onions and mustard) from Lafayette Coney Island.

*Blue Plate Special at Luna Park*

blueplate-big1

Eating out at restaurants is one of my favorite things to do. And it can get expensive if you do it too often, so we compiled this list of great deals at lots of great locations across LA that will . Happy dining!

 

Stone Fire Pizza: Happy Hour is 7 days a week from 4pm -7pm 1/2 off drinks, appetizers and pizzas AND on Saturday & Sunday 11:00am – 7pm 1/2 off draft beers and all pizzas. This makes me happy – there is NO reason happy hour is just for weekdays!

 

The Stand (Locations in Westwood & Encino) introduces Dollar Dog Days at The StandEvery day is a Dollar Dog Day from 3PM until 5PM – $1 Dogs $2.50 Loaded Stand Dogs and 20oz beers are only $2. 

 

Luna Park on La Brea will offer a rotating “Blue Plate Special“-served literally on a blue plate. With entrees priced from $10.00 to $12.00 and drink specials for $5.

 

One of LA’s finest dining establishments, Beacon in the Helms Bakery in Culver City offers 3 courses for $27 on Tuesdays and Wednesday. Chef Kazuto Matsusaka gets creative with inventive and flavorful mod Asian plates such as Ahi tuna pizza with wasabi mayonnaise and pickled ginger, and five-spiced chicken salad. This has been on my list of places to try for a long time, can’t wait to try the prix fixe menu.

 

One Sunset Tasting Tuesdays includes courses from their regular dinner menu and highlights specials of the day. At $45/person for five-courses, its more expensive than our other specials, but you get A LOT of food. Each course comes out as set of three dishes and the dessert is a slection of 2! The real deal is that for $1 you can get a bottle of wine to compliment the meal! Wine for a dollar? Wow. Sign me up! 

And just last night I sampled the $35 prix fixe Sunday menu at Abbot Kinney’s newest arrival, AK - generous portions of appetizer, salad, main and dessert. Delicious food with Scandinavian touches, also menu is available for vegetarians and vegans.

 

Lucques another one of LA’s best dining experiences lead by chef Suzanne Goin offers Sunday suppers (three-course meals for $40) which especially affordable for this seasonal Mediterranean fare.

 

Sunday seems to be the night to get deals in this city. Enjoy a fun friends and family supper at Dominicks’s. A three course prix-fixe Sunday Supper here is only fifteen bucks! The original Dominick’s restaurant and bar, established in 1948, was a favored watering hole for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

Always looking for other delicious deals and steals around the city, did we forget something?
