West Coast (Cocktail) Swing: Cava Our West Coast (Cocktail) Swing continues this week with a 2 hour drive to Santa Barbara. Don't get me wrong, spring on the East Coast is nothing short of breath-taking, but spring is also a bit finicky; on rainy days like...
West Coast (Cocktail) Swing: Otium, LA Of the 8 (yes, 8) cocktail bars that we visited during our trip to So Cal, Otium, the new restaurant and cocktail lounge at the Broad Museum, was by far our favorite. When we arrived--straight from the airport, at 11pm, on...
West Coast (Cocktail) Swing: Whisper House, Clarement Claremont, oh Claremont. It's hard not to love this little town.

Where We've Been Drinking: Birba Our favorite Palm Springs brunch spot is Cheeky's. The corn pancakes are delicious. Splitting the bacon flight takes most of the guilt out of that guilty pleasure. And the thick and spicy Bloody Mary does a great job of washing it...
Where We've Been Drinking: Ace Hotel Our final stop in our tour of Palm Springs watering holes shares some characteristics with the others (Morgan's and Cliffhouse). Once again, the staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful. Once again, while we had our choice of tables when we...
