A picnic dinner at the Hollywood Bowl – doesn’t matter who is performing, it will be a wonderful evening. 5. Going to the Wine Expo on Santa Monica Blvd. in West L.A. to learn more from the wine guru, Robert.
- My favorite local hidden treasure you shouldn't miss:
- Divino Restaurant in Brentwood Village, non pretentious, but high quality Italian cuisine – Locals and the occasional celebrity.
- My perfect day spent in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- My perfect day spent in the Southern California (LA area)starts with eating the amazing banana pecan pancakes at Doughboys on 3rd St. in Los Angeles. The crowd is very eclectic – primarily entertainment business young professionals. Then driving to Pasadena to tour the historic Green and Green Gamble House. Stroll through Old Town Pasadena. Lunch at J-Lo’s restaurant, Madre, while in Pasadena. Drive to downtown L.A. and walk through China Town or Olvera Street. While downtown, attend a basketball game at Staple Center and eat dinner at the incredible buffet restaurant. End the day with after dinner drinks at the West Lounge at the Hotel Angeleno.
