Someone's bad review stated that they didn't have donuts and scones.  IT'S A DANISH BAKERY!   If you want donuts go to a donut shop.  haha!

I have been coming here at least once a week for the past couple years.  I am not a huge sweets fan so I come and get sandwiches on their fresh baked bread for lunch.  

I recently decided to try the ham and cheese croissant for breakfast.  It's sooo good.  I think I may get addicted to those.

Oh yeah...I did come here last week with some friends/yelpers and we tried some of the pastries.  I really like the Goose Breast.  

What is goose breast?  Not telling...I guess you better go to Hygge and try it  yourself.

    This is a Danish Bakery located in the Luma building and is just steps from my new home.  I don't like sweets but I do love the smell and the pastries look divine but...I came here for a sandwich.  

    I had their lunch special which was a drink and a sandwich.  I ordered a tuna sandwich on their fresh baked bread and it was delicious and under $6.

    If you order ice tea they have a choice of teas and then they make hot tea and ice it so it is fresh and tasty.

    From the outside the bakery looks a bit stark but don't let that stop you and if you read the other reviews you will read the pastries are amazing.

    Oh and the name is pronounced Hoo-geh

    Ladies are you ready for great hair styling?  Well come to Three Sisters Beauty Salon Boutique and Supply.  My friend Jamie Lee [see photo] has an incredible talent and has worked with numerous hair shows revealing her talent for hair styling as well as incredible up-doos too.

    She is super friendly and can make your hair dreams true too.

I have been here a couple times and I always seem to end up with the same server...I  can't remember her name but she is great.  There is always a wait but I have never had to wait too long.

I think they only do breakfast but I could be wrong but breakfast is fantastic and HUGE.   I just like to order their 1 egg, hash browns and choice of toast or biscuits and gravy.  Their biscuits and gravy is great (eat it first because it tastes much better hot).  I order my egg poached and they don't have a problem with that (some places do).  I was with a friend that ordered a short stack and each pancake is bigger than the plate so unless you are super hungry I recommend just ordering one pancake.  

The pancake although enormous in size is still cooked right...no doughy center and very tasty.

I found myself in Venice today and was hungry.  I don't come here very often so I couldn't remember what places there are here to eat but I managed to stumble across Cairo Cowboys just a few steps from the Stand or whatever they call the beach sidewalk in Venice.

I got out my iPhone and decided to see if the reviews looked good and they did so I decided to try them for myself.  I ordered the falafel pita and I noticed a sign about buying their hot sauce and I love hot sauce so I asked to have a side of that.

My falafel came fairly quickly since they just opened.  The salad that came with it was good with very tasty salad dressing and the falafel was very good but that hot sauce was amazing.  It was green and I am not sure what it was made of but it was spicy good with maybe a hint of mint.

I was very happy with my lunch and the service I received.

Ordered a bean and cheese burrito...how can you mess that up?  Over cook the tortilla, add luke warm beans and very cold cheese so it does not melt.

All this for just $8+ dollars!

I should have known better  I think they are the same company that has concession stands at the Home Depot Center.

Super lame theme bar.   It's the kind of place you go and have one drink and leave.  It's way too small and dark unlike the former Lost Bar that was large and busy and was outside.  I have no idea where the convention people are going to have to go to have a drink now.  I guess at one of the places that Disney doesn't own in Downtown Disney.  Great job whomever came up with this idea.

Glad I no longer work at the hotel since they took out my wine cellar and Lost Bar.

Depressing!

But don't listen to me go visit Ron and Pat and tip them well!  They need all the help they can get so GO NOW!

    I like Quiznos but the one in Redondo that was by my former home sucked ass and now it is closed. I knew that crazy weird lady would shut the place down.

    Luckily no crazy weird lady working here and it's just as close as my old one was to me.

    The service was good but a bit slow.  I like that they have some outside tables too.

American Express Platinum Club is on the B-Level of Staples Center.  It is open to anyone that has a real AMEX Platinum card....the Silver ones but I am sure if you have a Black card they will not stop you. :p

If you are on the suite level/premier level you it will be easy to access but if you are not you need to go to the VIP door on the main concourse near the TEAM LA store and show them your card.  When it is busy there may be a wait to get in if they are full.

This is their store but their factory too so when you pull up in the parking lot you smell the sweet smell of chocolate.  The store is fairly small but well stocked with all of their products.  There are great little ideas for stocking stuffers like golden coins and chocolate Santas.  

The staff is very friendly and they give you a free chocolate when you check out.

FYI when the new EXPO line opens which will be soon you can take the train to La Cienega and it is just a block from the station.

I wanted to find some unique boxed Christmas cards so I came here yesterday.  I LOVE THIS STORE!  It's so fun to browse through all of the unique items they sell.  

If you buy 3 boxes of their Christmas cards right now they will give you one free box and if you are a MOCA member like me  you get a discount on top of that.  It is located upstairs from the ticket booth and you do not need a ticket to visit the store.
