The Happiest Hours: McCormick & Schmick’s – Downtown L.A.

January 15, 2009 – 10:16 am

McCormick and Schmick's - Downtown L.A.

Who knew that on the 4th floor of one of the most prominent buildings in Downtown L.A. you could find the BEST happy hour deal ever! During a quick trip through the City of Angels I met my gal pal and her co-workers for happy hour at McCormick and Schmick’s, and was floored by the deal. A restaurant with gorgeous wood paneling, a huge bar with just about any concoction, a happy hour menu with treats at $1.95 and $5.95, and yummy business men all over the place! From what I can tell, Thursday night is the best night to hit this place up.

Typical bar food fills the happy hour menu (I recommend the fish tacos and the spiders and fries), but buyer beware of the drinks! The standard libations are your best bet. Some of the specialty cocktails are a bit dicey (they have a martini Bellini that I would NOT advise)

Cheers!

Chocolate does not get better than this!

January 8, 2009 – 11:34 am

“Fraiche” is french for “Fresh” and if chocolate could ever be described as fresh then Fraiche Fine Gifts has the freshest chocolate there is! Located on West 3rd Street in the heart of L.A. (not to be confused with 3rd in Santa Monica) you will find the finest chocolate confections!

Heaven on earth is a box of chocolate truffles!

The chocolate truffles sold here are worth every ounce of guilt. They are that good. You just know that nothing this delightful could possibly be good for you, but it does not matter. And if you dare indulge in these chocolates with champagne, then you’ll realize that heaven on earth does exist.

But Fraiche Fine Gifts has many more gifts, aside from chocolate, all of which are top quality and make fabulous presents for corporate clients, friends, family, or yourself!
