Haughty, spooky, and super fun, Hocus Pocus at Rockwell is everything you hoped for.
When you think fine dining, airport hotel restaurants don’t usually come to mind. There is one eatery though, that is changing that, by making cuisine acceptable for even the pickiest jetsetter. Unity LA, located within the Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport just adjacent to LAX, has a killer menu, a masterful chef, and a chic, minimal ambiance that makes you completely forget where you are. Unity LA is a Mexican and Asian fusion restaurant that takes the best dishes from each culture and blends them into one menu. When we headed into Unity LA and had our first look, we were obsessed with the idea of the menu: under Mexican influence, you could order dishes made popular in East LA, Santa Monica, or the Sunset Strip. If you were feeling more like Asian, you could sample neighborhoods like Thai Town, Little Tokyo, or Boyle Heights. Basically, if you’re just…
After a brief hiatus, the Kyle Chronicles are BACK. And we’re taking LA by storm with Chappy.
As avid cooks, the Hamptons to Hollywood crew and The Champagne Society is always looking for new ways to spice up our food. We’re big fans of meal-prepping, but honestly, eating the same thing for seven days straight without any variety is kind of like, well…okay, it’s hell-ish. MAKE THE MONOTONY STOP. Well, we did. Kinda. Sweeping the nation are companies that make the stress of leaving your house a non-issue. RawSpiceBar is one such company. They’ve been on our radar for a while, but basically, they deliver different spices to your doorstep in an effort to culture you and your fam on the many different seasonings this big ‘ol beauteous world has to offer. Hamptons to Hollywood had the chance to try a few of their signature spices and let’s the say that the convenience of it all was totally worth it. In our first shipment we received Chaat…
[Editor’s Note] ***Spring Discount*** – Receive 10% off your next bill at The District by Hannah An when you tell your server/bartender you heard about this review on Hamptons to Hollywood. Sale runs now through June 30th and excludes alcohol. Cheers! Let’s face it, this time of year is usually bleak. While we’re waiting on warmer weather and the promise of spring, the one place we’ve been able to find solace is in one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after eateries, The District by Hannah An. ***You know it’s legit when Beyonce eats there. Between the Vietnamese-inspired aura of the establishment, killer staff, and extremely sociable owner, Hannah An, the restaurant utterly lives up to its reputation as being “the culinary answer to happiness.” Not only are some of Hollywood’s most exclusive events held there (seriously), there’s hardly a month that goes by where there isn’t a marriage proposal or where…
2.3.2017 6:00 AM My Energize Soup was becoming a welcome way to jump start my day, and I have to admit, the teas were really helping in this cleanse. They were the perfect complement to the soups and maybe it was just me, but I believe they were aiding in curbing my hunger. 12:15 PM Over my last serving of Restore Soup, I started to get philosophical, wondering what kind of effects I had seen from the Healthy Foundation Reset so far. Okay, first of all, I was really starting to grasp the fact, which kind of scared me in a way, that Americans eat WAY too much food in their daily diets. I had significantly cut down on what I was eating, was replacing snacking with liquids (be it broth or water), and was still having energy and was keeping up with my morning workouts. Imagine if the general…
There’s a trend we’re spotting! It’s fall and that means warmer colors are abound – even if they’re merely paired with a couple of classics like Black and White. Throwing on a layer of camel or light brown is a great way to achieve an Autumnal look without the fuss. Plus, it’s a great way to showcase a seasonal statement piece (like a warm jacket or trendy button-up)over and over again – just change out the subtler outfit underneath. While he’s rocking more of a cool, Hollywood look, hers is a bit more Hamptons-prep, which just shows that this brown layering option is perfect for each coast. And, thanks to online savings guru, VoucherBin, special savings can be used for British retailer, Matalan, which has some great options for outerwear at affordable prices that you’ll love. Thanks to our style inspirations this week, Daniel & Maria. How will you be…
In the past week, we’ve been asked six times on where to eat, drink, and play in LA. While LA is a huge city, spanning miles of exceptional dining, fun-filled activities, and more, sometimes it can be a bit all too overwhelming – especially if you’re coming for the first time. As a solution, we’re offering up Guidebooks for each specific locale in Los Angeles and the Hamptons. First up, classic, timeless Hollywood. Sure there are the Hollywood mainstays everyone knows about, but we’ll be trying to offer up some hidden gems that only the locals know about as well. Here’s what you should be checking out while you’re in one of the country’s most famous locations. EAT Miceli’s Italian 1646 N. Las Palmas Los Angeles, CA 90028 Authentic and romantic are the operative words here. Micelli’s offers classic Italian dishes, but the piano man tickling the ivories is the…
October is one of the year’s most charming months; the weather turns a tad chillier, the turning foliage adds a bit of romantic nostalgia to the air, and everyone is headed indoors to stay warm and cozy. Thankfully, we headed into Scratch Bar & Kitchen, located in LA’s Encino neighborhood, for a meal that was easily the best thing we’ve eaten all month. Trust us, Scratch NEEDS to be on your list of restaurants to visit. Perched atop an ornate complex along Ventura Boulevard, Scratch is a charming space with high-top tables and a long bar that peers into an open kitchen, bustling with talented chefs and servers crafting food to be sent out to patrons. We highly advise sitting at the bar if you can because half the fun is seeing how the food is prepared. And striking up lively conversations with the congenial food crafters and master chefs…
Tucked in one of the most unlikely of places is where you’ll find Sopho’s Cafe; a delicious eatery serving great cuisine in an eclectic and relaxed setting. At Hamptons to Hollywood, we love the hidden gems as much as we luxury establishments we often find ourselves in. Sopho’s is the former in that it’s a Mediterranean-inspired cafe tucked within the HUB on Venice that many nights features live entertainment. The establishment’s whimsical array of mix-and-match furniture paired with it’s inviting courtyard make it the perfect spot for an under-the-radar and chilled out night with friends. However, just because the seats aren’t dripping in crushed velvet doesn’t mean it’s not amazing. The food is superb! Their nightly happy hour offers a wide selection of domestic favorites, IPA’s, and a solid wine list, while their food is reminiscent of being cooked by your Italian grandmother in the back kitchen; hearty, delicious, and…
