by Alyssa Ramos Katana is one of those restaurants that can be recommended without a doubt to newcomer’s, as well as as a go-to answer for the question, “Where do you want to eat?”. Boasting proudly from it’s second floor patio perch, above a double, slightly curving, stone staircase with a fountain at the base in the middle, Katana is hard to...
by Alyssa Ramos Villa Blanca is as prestigious, classy, and tasteful as the famed Beverly Hills roads it resides on. You may have caught a glimpse of it on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since it’s owned by Real Housewife vixen Lisa Vanderpump and her adorably witty husband Ken Todd, but seeing it on screen merely does the place the justice it deserves...
By Alyssa Ramos Nestled in the trendy little triangular nook that is the real-life Melrose Place, is an ornately decorated and heavily vodka-infused piece of Russia called Mari Vanna. The name comes from a Slavic legend of a fairytale grandmother who welcomed hungry travelers for a home-cooked meal, and the same idea goes for it’s customers in...
Yay for Award Season. by Alyssa Ramos First and foremost, I’d just like to point out that I’m extremely disappointed that Justin Bieber wasn’t at any Grammy parties last weekend since he had to go be an obnoxious idiot. Actually that was just an obnoxious lie to annoy people…the only thing I’m disappointed about is him being an idiot and...
This may shock and disappoint you but she was actually very calm and collected. By Alyssa Ramos Like everyone else on the planet, minus the supa freaks, extremists, and people who like things purposely because everyone else doesn’t, I too was appalled and even a little upset when the seemingly sweet and innocent Miley Cyrus hacked off her pretty Hannah Montana...
Plus how to look famous using Uber. by Alyssa Ramos I won’t go on my normal rant about how much I hate going to nightclubs in order to avert stereotypical opinions about myself and girls in LA (even though most are true about the latter) , so I’ll just begin with: I will go to soft and grand openings of new clubs because I know everyone who’s...
It’s all fun and games until a live band, DJ, photographer, liquor sponsors, Cockatoo, and all of LA shows up. By Alyssa Ramos Considering my birthday party last year that shocked and impressed everyone with it’s location in a massive mansion in the Hills, complete with nightclub, movie theater, observatory, and basketball court, I obviously knew I had to...
I might get black listed for this. By Alyssa Ramos Despite what a large majority of people may think, I do not like going to nightclubs. I’m like the oldest 25 year old in the world, and would much rather go to charity event and be in bed by 12 than set foot in the coolest nightclub in the world. Well, maybe not in the world, because if it were in another...
The journey never ends. by Alyssa Ramos I’ve been extremely lucky these past two years in LA. Not only have I traveled, found my career path, and made some incredible connections, but…no wait, my emphasis was going to be on my connections with people. I have a tendency to meet certain people one time, and form this crazy universal connection that makes us...
Here’s My Card. By Alyssa Ramos I’m still in partial shock over the awesome new job as a publicist I’ve magically acquired due to my freakishly impressive email writing skills and extremely diverse five-page resume. Samantha Jones always did seem to have so much fun as a publicist on Sex and the City, I just never thought I’d qualify since my...
