All of the younger locals I’ve talked to have all recommended two places to go to at night – Casa de la Musica, or Fabrica de Arte. Some people will also recommend the Malicón at night, but it’s mostly for locals who go there to sit, talk, make out, etc., and unless you have a romantic partner to sit there and smooch with sans cell phone…it...
by Alyssa Ramos The way that I was eagerly scanning the upstairs deck for the waitress was comparable to the anxious urgency of finding a misplaced iPhone, but it was an urgent matter, there was only ten minutes left in Happy Hour, and with the way we drink white wine, those ten minutes were vital. Finally one of the scantily dressed model-waitresses came bounding up...
by Alyssa Ramos As we sped down Fountain Avenue in my friend’s new BMW M6 with unnecessary bursts of speed and jolts of braking and swerving around cars, EDM music blaring, and the enviable jingling of the seven Cartier Love Lock bracelets on his wrist, I started to wonder if I made the right last minute decision to go to this supposedly secret comedy show...
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...
I heard it’s normal to visit LA and never go home… On September 15th, 2011, I apologized to my mother for missing her birthday because a guy I had met in Vegas randomly booked me a ticket to visit him in LA the same day. I promised to celebrate her when I got back the following Monday with several glasses of wine, and assumed I’d carry on with my...
Nothing Like Waking Up On A Plane… By Alyssa Ramos During my sophomore summer in college I went on a Eurotrip with one of my sorority sisters that went to 15 countries in 36 days. Obviously this trip was not intended for educational purposes for us, and most of the girls on the trip immediately hated us for being the first ones to start drinking in Greece, but that...
