Minibar (Studio City)

By in 18: Greater LA

We celebrated our birthday at this cute mod 60s hip bar at Hollywood nearby Universial City. A rare sight when we reached there: the valet is a woman! There’s a sign “Valet of the Dolls, inc.” 😀 !!! Sure the right sign for our all-Girls night out. The vibe inside is hip and casual (despite […]

Seattle: Capitol Hill (Part 4)

By in Travel

Capitol Hill is the hip hometown of Jimi Hendrix (there’s a statue of him there!) It’s quite sketchy and dirty, a lot like Silverlake — lots of hipster bars, cafes, art galleries and hip boutiques (indie brand or hand-crafted) in a rather dirty trashy looking street. Oddly there’s also the Benz and BMW dealers there […]
