Southwest Gallery

One of the biggest galleries in the city, this 16,000-square-foot Addison warehouse looks mighty generic from the outside, but it boasts a massive collection of works from the 19th and 20th centuries. As the name implies, there is some Southwest art, but Impressionist, Western and contemporary styles are also represented, and there are also bronze […]

Run by husband-and-wife duo Nimidu Senaratne and Chamari Walliwallagedara, SpicyZest produces outstanding food, ranging from fusion snacks like the […]

The dinner menu offers raw caviar, oyster and crudo options, salads, pasta (including house-made fusilli with red wine braised octopus served with bone marrow and lobster ravioli), a ton of fish options and a few […]

Sprezza

Julian Barsotti’s third and newest Italian restaurant, Sprezza, does a poor job acting like it just rolled out of bed. Evidence is everywhere of the great care invested in every detail, from the light fixtures to the wine list, from the serving dishes to, ironically, the restaurant’s name. But in a short time, Sprezza is […]

Sprinkles Cupcakes

The same is true at Sprinkles, a cupcake concern that came fresh out of the oven in Beverly Hills, quickly becoming a favorite of the Hollywood glitterati. The red velvet […]
