Ciudad
Categories: Tapas Bars, Latin American, Lounges
Neighborhood: Downtown
The second course was the meat and potatoes course and it was fantastic. It was sprinkled with specks of pancetta that really brought a unique flavor to everything.
My favorite course was the epic "Mission Fig and Cabrales Blue Cheese Tart in savory black pepper pastry with frisee and sherry fig syrup." The crust of this tart was insanely delicious- all butter and sunshine. The Blue Cheese at the bottom of the tart was at first a shocking flavor and then soon a real delight when combined with the sweet and subtle slices of fig. I'm not a big fig guy, but together with the amazing crust and blue cheese this tart was incredible. I only wish I could have eaten it all. It was waay too big for one person.
The final course was the cheese course and I think this was my only real disappointment. First, I'd have prefered a cheese course earlier in the proceedings- perhaps as the second course. The cheeses selected were pretty ho hum. Mostly sheep and goat stuff and one that I'm pretty sure tastes like old people. Gross.
We also got the paired wines with our meal and, while 4 glasses of wine at dinner was a bit excessive, I found the selection to be mostly fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the dessert wine with the cheese course... it was like drinking alcoholic maple syrup. Awesome.
All in all, Wine and Dine LA gave me a great 3rd or 4th look at Ciudad and I got to try some stuff that I would have never ordered if it wasn't part of the pre fixe menu. This just helped to reinforce my already held belief that Ciudad is one of the best places to eat in Los Angeles today.

The line is kinda wacky though. They take your order, then you walk 10 feet away and pay for that order. Whats up with that?

Bill Speidel's Underground Tour
Category: Tours
Neighborhood: Pioneer Square
Only reason this isnt 5 stars is that I wish it was a longer tour that showed more of the underground. As it was, it ran a little over 1 hour and we saw 2-3 underground facilities.

House of Spirits
Categories: Beer, Wine & Spirits, Grocery
Neighborhood: Echo Park
The place does smell a little funky though... but its the price we must pay for shelves full of alcohol as far as the eye can see.
Plus, they sell socks at the counter. Thats kinda awesome. More stores should do that.

Seriously recommended- then again, I tend to always love places that charge you by the weight of your food...
