the sycamore kitchen…

the sycamore kitchen 2

the sycamore kitchenbreakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so i’m always on the look out for new spots. i had only heard great things about the sycamore kitchen & had passed by the space weeks earlier while visiting the new steven alan space on la brea, which by the way has the best looks for spring! with a few friends, we planned a morning date (sweet stephanie & carmen!) & entered the airy space with a welcoming hello from the staff. the menu was a fresh mix of unique flavors & truthfully we couldn’t decide! after much debate, we all chose the pork belly hash & the hearty bowl was the perfect balance of savory. owners, karen and quinn hatfield score yet again with this perfect neighborhood addition…

border grill…

one of the reasons i love summer is all the drinks & food that gets shared with family & friends! So my summers always start with a visit to border grill. nothing’s better than enjoying a fresh drink with warm breezes, house-made chips & border grill’s tasty salsa sampler. (i eat two servings each time!) everything is pretty amazing & the mexican flavors are beautifully married & complex (the enchiladas are my favorite). bonus: the eye-catching view of skyscrapers & la lights while dining…a must

catching up…

i’ve been so busy with work & other projects (its kinda great!) that i’ve been using instagram to capture everything for me! got a disneyland pass to take me back to childlike times, eating at my favorite breakfast place at the moment, & breaking out the neon nail polish!
