by Alyssa Ramos Last night, Los Angeles Confidential magazine had their pre-grammy party at The Beverly Hills Hotel in honor of their cover star, John Legend. Except…John Legend didn’t show up because he wanted to protest the prehistoric, bitter, homophobic, asshole who owns the hotel and believes in human torture. Hope I don’t get stoned to death...
by Alyssa Ramos Some of the many perks of being in PR is that you get to attend great events, meet tons of amazing people, and go home with some awesome gift bag swag. Last night’s Glenlevit private whiskey tasting event put on by Stadiumred at Scarpetta was definitely one I didn’t want to miss. Especially because it included a whiskey guide to explain...
by Alyssa Ramos Chances are that if you live in LA, frequent LA, or are a food connoisseur, you have heard of the legendary Chef Nozawa and his ridiculously amazing restaurant chain of the best sushi you’ll ever eat, Sugarfish. I knew the story behind Chef Nozawa, I was told it many times when I visited the Sugarfish in Studio City (the original location)...
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 It’s typically a given that any steakhouse in Beverly Hills is guaranteed to be divine, and Wolfgang’s Steakhouse was no exception. Although it was chosen because it was one of the only places available on Open Table the day after Valentine’s Day when my date and I decided that Santa Monica was too far to drive to, I’m always...
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...
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...
I need to learn how to dance ASAP. by Alyssa Ramos Yesterday I got to dance with the stars! Well not really. I can’t dance. But they did offer! And I did get to watch them dance, and more importantly got to gaze longingly into Brant Daugherty‘s (@brantdaugherty) ice blue eyes. Sigh. If I wasn’t half drunk and hadn’t of looked like complete...
