A lifestyle blog from Los Angeles
I'm sad to report that Papoo's in Toluca Lake has closed. More details here. I've been going here for 13 years and I'm just plain bummed:( J.
We paid a visit to the Los Angeles Flower Mart and found a few things have changed for the better since our last visit a few years ago. For one thing, you don't seem to have to get up as early as you...
Like so many of my favorite moments in life, my visit to Waiheke Island was unplaned, purely by chance. I was only there a short time, but this is one of my favorite shots from the trip. I'm not...
For my son's 5th birthday we took him to Santa Barbara on his first real train ride. No this isn't the train we rode, this is one of the last Pullman cars now permanetly stationed at the Santa Barbara train station. This is our train. We took the Coast Starlight up the coast from Los Angeles. The train had a nice, clean Oberservation Deck located just above the snack bar. The early part of the trip wound through some industrial areas of L.A. I rather enjoyed this part. As a resident...
We paid a visit to The Los Angeles Arboretum on a muggy Sunday afternoon and found a few things we'd never seen before. When we first started to visit the LA Arboretum it was just after our first trip to New Zealand and Australia and we were quite disappointed by it. However, in the past 5 years The Arboretum has really improved and finally we feel it really has turned into a destination worth visiting. This visit we happened upon a new, raised bed garden used for The Arboretum's children's Summer Nature Camp...
During our visit to the LAX Observation Deck on Father's Day, we learned about this cool museum that I'd never even heard of. The Flight Path Museum is just that too, right on the flight path at LAX. You can stand at the back gate, which affords you a view of The Theme Building and Air Traffic Control tower, and watch planes take off and land. There's a small step platform located just inside the picture window for the little ones to get a good view of the action too. While there you will also hear the feed...
Sunday morning coffee at the Observation Deck of LAX For Father's Day this year we headed out the the re-opened Observation Deck at LAX. It was the 50th anniversary of the Theme Building on which the Observation Deck is located on top of. To commemorate the occasion they gave out coins (see pics below) and a gift bag of the children. The Deck is opened Sat & Sun 8-5 and is free. Sunday morning coffee at the Observation Deck has been offered since Jan of this year. Arriving early gave us an opportunity to...
LACMA is currently hosting an awesome Tim Burton exhibition at the Resnick Pavilion. The show starts with his beginnings in Burbank. There are models, sketchbooks, letters and costumes on display, really something for everyone to get into. These pics only represent a small portion of the total work on display. If you're even the slightest bit a Tim Burton fan I encourage you to check this out, great for kids too! Before getting in line have a drink at the new Ray's & Stark Bar. We love all the locally sourced...
Here are a few pics of the move of Richard Serra's "Sequence" out of BCAM this week. Assembly of the crane View from Wilshire Blvd I have no idea what these are. They're the same finish as the sculpture so perhaps braces of some sorts My daughter in front of Richard Serra's "Sequence" June 17th, 2011 Sculpture soaring over BCAM bldg at LACMASource
Hi, my name is Julianne Reiser and I live in Los Angeles with my talented husband and two young children. After living in this city for over 25 years I find having them has inspired me to rediscover it.
When not romping around Los Angeles, I love romping around the world. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting London, Melbourne, Prague, Zurich, a good part of New Zealand and parts of Scotland (for our wedding).
My dream list of travel includes Iceland, St Petersburg, Bora Bora, Rome, Istanbul, Venice and of course Paris. Oh who am I kidding, get me a plane ticket and I’ll go just about anywhere!
