1. Latest design obsession — Finn Juhl. Am totally coveting the Poeten Sofa

  3. Love this bottle from Booker’s Whiskey. So elegant. Evokes thoughts of the very tasty Braveheart drink (scotch, ginger, honey) served at Tasting Kitchen on Abbot Kinney in LA.

  4. Also had drinks at Raine’s Law Room while in NYC. Cool space. Similar atmosphere and style to Bob Bob Ricard in London (pictured above), except Bob Bob serves food.

  5. Visited famed Iron Chef Morimoto’s NYC establishment a few months ago. It did not disappoint! A wall made from 17, 400 plastic bottles…awesome. Definitely order the panko crusted curry beef if you go. So good!

  9. Stumbled upon this fantastic new (only 2 days old when we tried it!) taco shop in mid-city LA, Escuela Taqueria, by Cobras + Matadors owner Steven Arroyo. The design perfectly complements the simple but delicious menu. Love those chairs covering the ceiling!
