I just couldn't take it exclamation literally I went to the LV exhibit in Hollywood 3 years ago and that was amazing they outdid themselves this time! It was an incredible experience. I loved how there was just so many different exhibits there was also like the artisan part of the handcrafting of the handbags we learned about you know how it started and went through all of the iconic Louis Vuitton handbags custom made pieces, trunks, shoes, belts, scarves, it was just an amazing experience I will never forget I am so glad I went and if you have not gone you need to go! It is a MUST! A lot of people tend to think that buying an expensive handbag is about money. And yes you do have to have money to buy these pieces, however the reason why you're spending so much money is because of the process that is required to go through to get such an amazing handbag one that will last you 20+ years so it's awesome! Make sure you go and have a fully charged phone so that you can take a lot of pictures if Yelp would let me post more pictures I would have more to post...I had to pick the best out of 50 and I have about 400! bottom line is go see this!

Los Angeles' Taste of the Nation returned to Culver City/Media Park for its 32nd year. I got to enjoy exceptional eats, curated drinks, entertainment, and more! It featured dozens of the LA area's top tastemakers and renowned chefs who support from across the country and lend their talents/passion to ending childhood hunger in America. I had the Admission + Preview Hour Ticket which allowed: -Ticketholders to enjoy unlimited tastes, sips, and fun with early entry starting at 12pm. So, 4 hours (12pm-4pm) -Unlimited bites from participating chefs and restaurants -Beverage Garden featuring alcoholic and non-alcoholic options -Interactive games and prize opportunities -Live entertainment Some of the booths for the 2023 event included: *Angelini Osteria *B Sweet *Beachside Restaurant & Bar *Camphor *Death & Co. *Dog Haus *Durango Cantina *Girl and the Goat *Guerrilla Tacos *Jitlada *Kali *Kinn *Maple Block Meat Co. *Ospi *Pizzana *Playa Provision *Poppy + Rose *Qusqo *Ronan *Salt Restaurant and Bar *Santuari *Socalo *Sugar Palm I was only able to try to try a few of the sets up as they were either showcasing an item that had a meat item I could not eat or by the time I wanted to try something, they were already out. Overall, I ate and drank a lot and loved every minute it!

FOOD and DRINK GALORE!!!!…read more Umami Father's Office Culini Kerry Simon Restaurant Border Grill Street Loteria Chaya Fig Black Market Scoops Intelligentsia Akasha The list goes on and on and on! I've heard about Taste of the Nation and how it is a great cause in engaging millions of people across America in the "Share Our Strength's" solution to childhood hunger. The fundraising effort of Share our Strength raise funs to support the campaign to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. Yes, tickets are not cheap.. its $110 O_o which is so expensive but when you educate yourself about the cause and understand that it is for charity and realize that the quality of food and drink that will be featured at this event, you know you will get your money's worth especially when you have a list of celebrity chefs that are behind the great campaign. I've been to these food tasting events in the past such as Taste of Beverly Hills and just from past experience, I learned to strategize my tastings by not staying in one area the whole time but picking and choosing what I want to taste at different stations. For example, I learned now to eat the stations that offered sliders, pastrami sandwiches, or other items that will fill you up faster because of all the breading. -I also learned to stay away from carbonated drinks like sparking water or soda because the bubbles is also another thing that will fill you up fast. -I learned to try to go for more expensive quality items like halibut, steak, and seafood because those items will get your money's worth. Its great to be able to want to taste everything but realistically it would be difficult to be able to drink and taste everything at every station unless you are some food eating competitor that I don't know about which in that case, props to you!!! But yea, the restaurants did offer a lot of great dishes such as grilled halibut, steak skewers, freshly cooked paella, all you can drink cocktails, a lot of seafood items which I love but also there are alot of meat dishes for the carnivores too. I met a lot of great celebrity chefs such as Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger who were both very approachable and friendly. Kerry Simon was friendly too and talked about his upcoming restaurant openings and Campanille's Mark Peel was also very nice and joked around about how there is plenty of food to go around w/out sharing.. I also got to talk to Mo-Chica's chef, Ricardo Zarate who was very gracious as well. If you enjoy meeting and talking to celebrity chefs, I think you would really enjoy this event because it is your chance to meet and talk to these chefs in a very open and informal environment. Overall great event and I was seriously in a food coma for a very long time after having all the food and drinks. They had a lot of giveaways such as a whole cacique cheese, dessert to take home, bottled sparking water and regular water, and more! *Tip- The event was HOT and SUNNY.. got sunburned so be mindful of what you wear and bring your shades and sunblock cause it does get really really hot!! You will be out walking around in the sun all day so wear comfortable shoes and wear light clothing. It would also be smart to bring a duffle bag in case you want to take home a few freebies that you get from the event w/out holding it. You won't come out of the event hungry, I can guarantee you that!!

The upper entrance is between two houses on Inglewood Street. Seattle is full of passageways like this, more character-ful with beautiful vegetation and not cordoned off by chain link fencing, but few elicit actual Yelp-reviewed status. In green Seattle a stairpath between streets on different sections of a hill can be enchanting, but here it is ...not. There is a Mar Vista Recreation Center not too far from this spot, it's got ball fields. Since we are largely in the flat lands, this stair case provides a little special workout. The view of the valley is interesting from here. It's a staircase with room for two people one going up and one going down. It is enclosed in fencing. Hard to find any more words for these concrete stairs.

I often find myself at this intersection at night while transfering busses. I literally have been…read moresolicited for sex everytime. Sometimes the men drive by and put up their finger, then pull over and wait for me to walk over. Other times they just give a dog whistle expecting me to frolick over. One time I was quite obviously ignoring a suitor hollering at me from his sparkly orange hummer with gold rims, so he got the attention of some poor little man who was also waiting for the bus and told him to get my attention. This lil man walks over to me and says "excuse me mam, I think that man wants to talk to you"... it was awesome. This confuses me for two main reasons: 1. This corner is where the TRANNY prostitutes turn their tricks, which either means I am being mistaken for a transvestite or that these men actually want to fuck a woman, but settle for men dressed as women when times get rough.*** 2. I am always at this intersection after school and am therefore always toting a ginormous backpack. Isn't that a tell tale sign that I am not a prostitute? Do they think its fulll of sex toys? I am giving this intersection two stars because these encounters although a lil frightening at times, are entertaining, which helps pass the time. ***If you don't know about this phenomenon read up!!!! http://www.tgsrm.org/MSM.html

I used to frequent this spot because of the 7eleven located a block away from the corner. Yes! There ARE strange activities going down, especially at night. From lots of sirens playing music up and down the streets during the day, to transgenders and hookers "waiting" at the bus stop, it's really quite a scene to look at it change so suddenly after 6 pm. It's more comedy to me than it is of anything else. Some people may find this "dirty", "ratchet", "tranny-chasing", or just a place to take a break from the bars up the streets. But I wouldn't trust this place if I stayed there for more than 20 minutes. I begin to feel these unwelcomed shadows lingering drunkenly from around the corners, no matter if it's day or night. But if this is your cup of tea, then put on a hoodie, use a different name, and talk like Batman, because I guess that's the norm when you're looking for something in this area.

Check in was a breeze and I have to admit to feeling pretty lucky as I watched two people try to talk the check in staff into wristbands. Geared up with a glass that fit nicely into my plate, I walked into quite the foodie vibe. It's been years since I've been to any sort tasting event and this one was a wonderful start. Lots of booths set up with not much of wait (except the oysters, those were popular!!) The oyster shucking contest had just ended when I arrived and a band decked out in shiny captain uniforms were taking the stage. I watched a mermaid get wheeled away, spotted Captain Jack Sparrow and listened to the band get the party started. Lots of crowd favorites being played and great energy from them. The food was a delight, my favs were Shoreline's cones (really complex, fun taste) The Lobster's pizza was spicy and delicious, and Water Grill's crudo on a shell was delicate and subtle. BTW, they had a spot to recycle your shells which go back into the ocean to create a breeding habitat. Win, win. I paired all this with a chardonnay that was perfect. I ended the evening with Sweet Rose Creamery sorbet and a Levain bakery chocolate chip cookie because I'm wild like that. Really appreciated that it was all single use plastic free--more like this please!! I loved the event--one bone to pick, I left around 6:45 because I had to pick up my kid, but the event was scheduled to end at 7:30 and booths were closing up at 6:30. I'd be pretty irritated if I'd bought a full price ticket and watched everything shut down when I still wanted to taste and sip. If that was fixed and someone appreciates an evening of entertainment and tasty food with the money to purchase, this is a great way to get out and enjoy.

In the VIP area my favorites are......Michaels oysters, Blue ribbon sushi(extra stars for the fresh quality), Edgar, Vamos vamos and Soko Sushi was all beautifully done.
