At Home: Los Angeles

Hal's Bar & Grill
Read Reviews1349 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291 (map)
"This watering hole is one of the most known unknowns in all of Los Angeles. The place is hip, yet laid back at the same time. A great selection of affordable wines cover the wine list from top to bottom. The food ain't bad, either. My wife swears by the grilled chicken Caesar salad. The turkey burger is a great choice, as well."

Good Earth Restaurant Of Ca
Read Reviews12345 Ventura Blvd Ste 12345C, Studio City, CA 91604 (map)
"This is the healthiest breakfast spot in town! Very quiet and tranquil in its location, the restaurant's breakfast menu pops with flavor from delicious fruit smoothies to the best buckwheat pancakes ever made. This is the best place to charge your body and mind in a positive way before a long day of sitting in Los Angeles traffic."

The Fairmont Miramar Hotel
Read Reviews101 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401 (map)
"I first discovered this secret little gem years ago when I was in between homes in Los Angeles. Tucked into a very discreet location, it's great for weekend getaways. Although sprawling, the hotel has a small, boutique feel with great staff service. Once you arrive in this peaceful destination, you may actually forget you are in Los Angeles."

Stevie's Creole Cafe
Read Reviews16911 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91316 (map)
"This is, by far, the best Creole and Southern cuisine in the San Fernando Valley! The place is normally jumping with hungry patrons near opening and doesn't start to clear out until right at closing. The seafood gumbo is the best in town! And don't pass on the peach cobbler!! A la mode if you can, magnificent! Call ahead when possible."

Robinson Ranch Golf
Read Reviews27734 Sand Canyon Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91387 (map)
"Leaving sunny southern California without a round of golf is almost impossible. Private, country club feel with public course accessibility is the top attraction at the Ranch. You can call Robinson Ranch as soon as you walk out of that lunch meeting and have a tee time waiting for your arrival. The Ranch has two courses (Mountain/Valley) that are equally challenging for most of us with a day job! Hit 'em straight!!"

Kitchen Express
Write a review4600 Asher Ave, Little Rock, AR 72204 (map)
"In Little Rock on business? Find time on your trip to the capitol city to hit this Southern cooking restaurant in the heart of the city. The great food is served family style as soon as you walk in! No lines, no waiting. Catfish, baked chicken, candied yams are all the rave at this family-owned eatery. And try the lemonade! Don't even think about adding sugar!"

El Gaucho
Read Reviews319 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205 (map)
"Connected to one of the best hotels in town, the Benson, this joint is always crowded. And for good reason. Everything on the menu, particularly the steaks, are immaculate. Start your order with the Wicked Shrimp. Ask for plenty of water! After that great piece of meat, the bananas Foster is slamming with sweet flavors that will have you thinking of relocating to Portland. Call and make reservations as soon as you get the note that your next meeting is in Portland."

Feast Around The World
Read Reviews2300 Paseo Verde Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89052 (map)
"When you need to hit Vegas primarily for business, this is your spot. A short 10-mile ride from the Strip, Green Valley reminds you more of a resort than a casino. The rooms are actually designed for you to spend time in them. When all the work for the day is done, unwind out at the pool. The Miami Beach feel to the pool area is the best in Vegas!"
-
Solstice Sunglass Boutique
Write a review500 Fifth Ave, New York, NY 10010 (map)
"This sunglass haven has the coolest frames in town. All the celebs shop here for the latest trends in sunglass fashion. Be prepared to work a few extra hours at work the following week. You won't leave here with just one pair of cool new shades!"
-
Calistoga Ranch
Write a review580 Lommel Rd, Calistoga, CA 94515 (map)
"Nestled in the hills of wine country, there's no better place in the country to get away from the daily grind of taxis, trains, and buses. The service here is impeccable! The privacy of each suite is surpassed by none. An outdoor shower as you gaze into the clear Napa Valley sky is a feeling you can't skip on this trip. The spa at Calistoga is one of the best."
