2014 Here I come
The art of making lists of what we like to change and rearrange has become a mission. Everyone wants to be greener, slimmer, healthier and by the time June rolls around, there will be a whole lot of blah, blah blahs.
Here is a short list of what you can accomplish. No, learning Mandarin isn't one of them.
Explore your own backyard.
Los Angeles is grind and roast kind of city.
Try a new cuisine... This month it will be Ethiopian.
How about a road trip to someplace new? Grab your map, wipe the dust off and just drive.
Kindle smindle. Go to the closest bar and stir up a conversation with your fellow beer drinker.
Sick of driving in traffic? Hop on a train? When was the last time you actually read a book, gazed out window and swapped life stories with a fellow passenger sitting across from you?
Take any road. less or more. It really doesn't matter.

Mama Mia Bestia
I cursed several times out loud like a true Angeleno would do, when I got completely lost looking for this downtown Italian osteria of the edge of the L.A. River. I’ve spent most of my life driving the streets and finding this place was not an easy feat. By the time I got there, my nerves were shot and I was more than ready for a stiff drink. The handsome bartender( most of them were) hand-crafted for me a wickedly delicious and potent Vodka cocktail. As I looked around, the place is heaving with people. Wow, who would have thought this city is buzzing at 9pm on a Sunday night? The menu is tasty, eclectic, adventurous and worth the drive. There’s a heavy emphasis on the house cured meats, Acunto wood fired oven pizzas and a nice selection of home-made pastas. Feeling daring? Then, try the chicken gizzards or the grilled lamb heart.
Executive Chef Ori Menashe (former Chef of Angelini Osteria) and Pastry Chef Genevieve Gergis are the husband and wife duo behindBestia.
Staycation...All I ever wanted
You really do not have to venture far to feel like you are on a holiday..When money is tight and you want to stay in town why not swap a pad? Change of scenery is good for the soul and the rest of you.. And if you are incredibly lucky, it's a bonus to have friends with a cozy beach pad 20 mins from your " mundane world".
