Sad Farewell to Nabi and the Union Swap Meet
Tucked away in the Union Swap Meet was a gem of a restaurant. A Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant, Nabi was the ultimate celebration of Los Angeles. It’s menu was a melting pot of two of this city’s largest immigrant populations and at a price anyone could afford. Nabi was a frequent spot where I would […]

The Third Day of Hoffmas: Gualagetza
My friend, Jonah, and I were trying to figure out a place for birthday drinks and appetizers. He lives on the Southern end of K-Town, so there are many good options in between our homes. Jonah suggested his favorite Oxacan restaurant, Gualagetza, for margaritas and shrimp cocktail. Gualagetza is a unique treasure of a restaurant. […]

Of course, we had to kick off dinner with one of El Compadre’s flaming margaritas. Beautiful and delicious! Everything […]

The Ten Days of Hoffmas
I’m big into birthdays. Like, really big into them. So big, that every year I throw a weekend-long fest crammed full of my favorite things around Los Angeles, which I call Hoffmas. All I want every year is to be surrounded by my friends and have a great time. I specifically plan the Hoffmas activities […]

I think I want to be Claire Underwood. The biggest adventure of the day is the delicious Mediterranean restaurant that delivers in […]
Tamale Fest at Olvera Street – 12/15/2013
