Great Result for Rothay Garden in the English Hotel of the Year Awards - 12/05/2014
We're delighted to announce that Rothay Garden came third in this year's national Small Hotel of the Year Award at the VisitEngland Excellence awards this week.
The Bronze Medal is a fantastic achievement, considering that there are over 10,000 eligible hotels, and wraps up an amazing 12 months for the hotel, having won the Cumbria Small Hotel of the Year Award only last summer.
"Congratulations to the whole team at Rothay Garden, and, as we've said before, also to our guests who give the hotel its ambience and atmosphere", said Chris Carss. "It's lovely to have such important independent endorsement of what we're striving for here at Rothay Garden".
James Berresford, Chief Executive of VisitEngland added "We received hundreds of applications this year of an extremely high standard. Winning a Bronze Award is a considerable achievement, and now means that Rothay Garden is now ranked as one of the top three businesss in their category for excellence in Englnad, and I warmly congratulate them on this achievement".
"The elegant hotel is set in two acres on the edge of Grasmere village, whose charm is greatly enhanced when the crowds dissolve in the evening … Don't plan an extensive lunch!"

We recently lamented Mazda's decision not to bring their new MPV minivan to the States. Mazda helped explain the decision by saying that minivan marketing practices put too much downward pressure on prices and therefore limit profits for automakers. We think Mazda could reverse that trend by doing what we called for years ago: adding some "Zoom-Zoom" to the segment with a better handling, lighter-on-its-feet shuttle like the new MPV. Mazda has instead decided to focus on crossovers, much like every other manufacturer with the exception of Chrysler. Apparently SUV/CUV buyers will still accept the premium pricing that nets higher profitability for the automakers. There may be a fly in that ointment, however.
Story continues after the jump.
[Source: Automotive News, sub req]
Mazda dealers are already complaining because their newest CUV, the CX-9, is being debuted with a huge national ad campaign to coincide with a regional program (a first for Mazda). The rollout will see a special lease deal of $349 a month for 39 months with $2,000 down. While it will probably help Mazda make a name for itself with this attractive Ford Edge derivative, dealers are questioning the decision.
Some think Mazda's just fine playing the niche role and maximizing profit on a smaller number of vehicles sold. Slow and steady wins the race, as the story goes. They think Mazda should follow the lead of Honda, Toyota and Nissan and establish their perceived value levels early on. They don't want to be seen as "the cheap-deal brand anymore." A group of California dealers, in particular, is trying to keep the regional outlets from over-promoting the offer and cheapening the brand. They don't think there's a need to "Zoom-Zoom" to a high sales figure right off the bat.
While getting into one of these nifty new three-row CUVs at a lower monthly payment sounds great to us, we understand the thinking and agree that it can probably sell quite well without the incentives. We'll keep you posted on how it shakes out.

► An Example Of Good Ingredients With Poor Proper Formulations

This product, in a very small tube, is NOT in non-greasy base (oil-free) which prefer many by the acne-prone skin. In fact, it's a bit too heavy. The good side is it won't dry out your skin in which I initially thought the 2% of Salicylic Acid in it will do. Not sure about the potency but I surely can't feel the 'strength' of 2% Salicylic Acid. Anti-scar ingredients such as Silicone and Dimethicone are use for reducing and repairing skin cell but the manufacturer did not provide the percentage of the ingredients on this, not to mention the "Powerful Green Tea EGCG" that the manufacturer claimed. Moreover, based on the ingredients list, any antioxidants are only considered to be background ingredients. I believe the product is mainly designed for those sensitive and dry skin but IMHO, it is definitely not for oily skin. Talk about "Sudden Change" & "Guaranteed Result"? Well, at least it is not working for me. It is an example of good ingredients with poor proper formulations. Afterall, I just don't see any indications that this product is actually an acne fighter. Price wise? This product is not cheap for the 14 grams that you get, so it is not cost effective at all. Taking everything into account, it's not something I would buy again. There are many better & high quality products in the market with very reasonable price. I am a strong advocate on scientific medical research and evidence-based information, and constantly want to differentiate between marketing hyperbole and real world effects. I hope you'll find my review Helpful to you. Best wishes and good health to everyone!

Removes inflammation quickly and without a trace! This is a cream white color, absorbs quickly and becomes invisible. The smell is not particularly nasty, normal. Apply point.

Works for VERY recent scars

Posted by Reviewer3301337 on Jan 03, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
Most of my very recent acne scars have improved a bit, but my older scars (2+ months) have yet to see any substantial improvement. I've been applying the cream twice per day everyday for the past 17 days. Unfortunately, the tiny tube doesn't contain a whole lot of cream, so one tube lasts only about 3 weeks for me. I'm also not sure if it's helping my acne. I've noticed a reduction in the number of small pimples and whiteheads on my cheeks, but since I've started using the product I've had three very large and sore cystic pimples that I normally don't get. Not sure if I want to repurchase. I'll probably try something else and maybe go back to it if all else fails.

This family-owned c-store chain continues to treat each person that walks through its doors like family, even after nearly 80 years. With a name like Fleming Oil Company, one would assume the business would be built around, well, oil. But to only focus on the company's distribution of oil and kerosene to residential, mobile home, commercial, and industrial markets would be akin to looking at the night sky and saying, "Look, there's a star."

An extensive history in e-commerce and a low-price guarantee keep this discount furniture retailer strong in a shaky market. Furniture retailers often struggle with having to buy inordinate amounts of inventory, estimate what products will move, and, when they run into a slow time, liquidate the leftovers at extremely low prices. These are problems One Way Furniture has avoided since its founding in 2001 due to a direct manufacturer business platform that cuts out the middle man.

This c-store chain's long history of growth has positioned it well for new management and a strong future. Across the Southeastern United States, one name rings true in the world of convenience: The Pantry. With more than 80% of its locations now branded under the Kangaroo Express banner, the big red 'K' and yellow marsupial might be a more familiar site. But behind the scenes, when it comes to guaranteeing quality, convenience, and consumer satisfaction, The Pantry is the name to trust.

Understanding the unique needs of each of its markets helps this Pennsylvania c-store chain thrive. Convenience store operators find themselves in an interesting niche in a tough economy.

However, at Pennsylvania's Top Star Express, the key to surviving the economic downturn comes back to one word—service.

Contrary to the usual assumption of doctor these two letters stand for Date Rape, this term is an adjective to describe one who can only get some bez through Date Rape.

Mexican Home Comforts
... dinner. The following day, Liliana headed to work early and I nursed my cold with medicine and silence. We were then treated by Liliana's dad to a late lunch in a local restaurant, where we feasted on a huge seafood platter. After lunch I set off with Liliana and her mum, for a trip into the middle of nowhere! We headed first to Dunas de Bilbao where the dunes were vast and stretched far and wide. There wasn't too much wind and the sun was low in the sky, so it was a perfect time ...
Mainland Mexico West
... around town and found a suitable hotel (after seeing one in particular rather unsuitable one!) As it was Halloween I was quite excited to be in Mexico - the home of halloween (or so I thought) Turns out the scariest thing we encountered was being accosted by a bunch of spanish speaking kids in **** costumes that whinged cos we only gave them small monies! Back in my day you'd take your mandarin orange AND you'd like it!
The train ride ...
Trains, Rocks, Hamburgers & Guns
... main purpose of visiting Northern Mexico was to go into the Copper Canyon region. I'd done a bit of research, but the area was that huge I was mainly going to plan everything as and when I arrived.
My first base was a small town called El Fuerte, which was a small colonial town with the usual check list of Plaza – yep, Cathedral – yep, Some kind of boring museum – yep. Took about 10 minutes to walk round and see ...
Entry point for Copper Canyon
We decided to take a bus to Creel today instead of starting the famous El Chepe train ride from Chihuahua where we spent last night. The bus to Creel is much cheaper and follows most of the same route as the train. The most dramatic part of the train ride starts in Creel and continues to El Fuerte. There's a final few hours that leave the dramatic canyon scenery to get to the coast and the last stop, but the arrival time is late at night and El Fuerte is supposed to be ...
And 9 1/2 hours up again to Cusarare
... and they have been returned to the original owners, the Tarahumara Indians. A little museum was built beside the church to house the paintings. Unfortunately, Pedro was not able to find anyone to open up the museum so we didn't get a chance to look at the paintings...
The church was interesting though - a real mix of Catholic and indigenous designs. The floor is rough and made from massive wood slabs. There are no seats except for a stone bench ...

Shadic The Hedgehog here. I'll give it a shot, then. My name is, for the purposes of editing tropes, Shadic the Hedgehog. It's pronounced like "Shade-ic" by the way, I tend to do odd pronunciations a lot. I also tend to spell things the British way, even though I'm a born-and-raised American. I've got an account on fanfiction.net, where I had to add "Author" to the end of my name because someone else apparently had it, and for some reason they won't let me change it, even though I can't find the other guy with my name. As for anything else, I have what is known as Asperger's Syndrome (I always try to pronounce the first "s" like a "z" just to keep immature jokes at bay. Doesn't always work). My obsessions are Anime, Manga, Books, RPGs, and writing. I have since narrowed this category down to "stories in general." Currently trying toDescribe

Over the past year or so, Steve Cohen has had to swallow several bitter pills in order to continue doing what he loves– trading stocks– and not further incite the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Justice Department, and Preet Bharara. He's written a check for over 600 million dollars and another one for $1.2 billion. He's returned all investor money to people not related to him by blood or marriage. He's said good-bye to friends. Most recently, he made the ultimate sacrifice when he agreed to change the name of the firm1 from his initials to Point72 Asset Management, rendering a walk-in closet full of SAC Capital fleeces utterly useless.
And although the sight of a distraught Cohen fighting with his lieutenants over the name change, of him scooping up a pile of fleeces and shouting "What the hell am I supposed to do with these?!" before collapsing atop them and whispering, "Alright…alright," of his President and GC and CFO standing awkwardly around him as he buried his face in the zip-ups and vests before sending everyone away and letting him be alone with them, of a single tear rolling down his face as he slowly traced the stitched on 'S' and then the 'A' and finally the 'C' should have been enough… Read more »

I like the service and location
no room service
Perfect location and view. Good music and parking.
Not Hot water nor Coffee.
The room size and bed were very generous. It was equipped with the necessary items that helped our stay more convenient (example) , Blower, full sized Iron, ironing board and many other things. I'll be back soon.
Water pours out of the bath area.
The air conditioner quit in middle of the nigth.
Very small room.
The hotel was in a perfect location to walk and shop. Close to restaurants and night life. The room was very clean and comfortable.
It very noisy at night you could here all the activities from the street no insulation. Across the street from us was a disco and we could hear all the noise
I love Melao cafeteria. The only place in the hotel that was pleasant including the staff.
The hotel is exposed to any street that surround it. Without security! Any one from the street can enter to the facilities, including back building room area. Every night was a nightmare! You can hear any simple noise. People walking through the hallway screaming, talking, yelling, doors shouting. Even next room neighbors having their "romantic" night. Room was not clean at all. Hair everywhere on the bathroom floor. Smelled bad also. Shower was disgusting. Even my 10 years old got a bath with flip flops on. We tried to book Ponce Hilton and moved, but was impossible due to availability. The only good thing was how centric was to move around the Island. Historic Main building is beautiful. Back building horrible. They need to improve: need to have room service, cleanliness of bathrooms, control of who enter in to the building at midnight, better bedclothes and towels. This hotel have a lot of potencial, need better administration.
Location right in front of Ponce's lovely Plaza. Plenty of small stores, places to eat and beuatiful olderbuildings
Small pool, sporadic wifi in room
After a long trip from one side of the island to ponce we wanted to rest but it was impossible because some hotel guests were to rowdy and obnoxiously loud screaming from one end of building to another at 3am and the kids couldn't sleep mind you we had a two year old baby so that means we couldn't either
Our room in the 'original' section was better than than used by other family members in the "new" section of the hotel.
Friendly staff.
Parking charges. Would have much rather have that included in the booking.
cafeteria and room
very expensive
When you have an special offer on late check out, please have a team of extra housekeeping. You gave me the room at 4:30 pm istead of 3:00 pm. I had a wedding at 5:00 pm. I had to shower and dress in 20 minutes.
We were very well treated and the staff was always courteous and willing to accomodate our needs. We were given a corner room in the newer section with a terrace and great view of Ponce. There was a need for maintenance to address a plumbing issue and within 15 minutes it was done and they came knocking to follow up and make sure we were satisfied. The restaurant's food is quite good and staff are very pleasant. I have read some of the comments from other guests and all I can say is some folks are better off camping out in their living room. The wireless service worked! The a/c has its own controllable thermostat...it too works! If you don't want to hear street noise, this is not the place for you. Ponce is a quaint town with narrow streets and slow-moving traffic (so too is Montecarlo). It is also rich in history and friendly people who are always eager to help. There is a noticeable police presence with three motorcyle cops who usually hang out near the front door. We walked the town at all times and felt safe. Go with an open mind, the right attitude and a good camera.
The fact that we had to leave so soon...
Location and proximity to local tourist attraction
We got a room that did not fit at all the description or pictures shown on the website. Completely deceiving and false advertising!
The rooms were very clean and the staff were excellent.
The noise..... The loud cars speeding down the street, The horns honking, the people yelling at 4 am when I was trying to sleep so I could tour. I had to do my sleeping from 5 am til noon. This is not a good place to ever take children.
like everything
way too many people in front of hotel asking for money cig and everything else didn't felt safe coming out of the hotel
I love the old facade of the building, the decor and the lobby was small but breathtaking.
Hated the pool ladder as it was very dangerous and hard to use if you are a senior with bad knees. The #1 feature for me is the pool as I like to do laps for exercise. I hurt my knee getting into the pool. The free breakfast was a ham & Cheese sandwich and that was it!No choice, really???
Very nice chic hotel. Nice ambiance, restaurants, facilities.
The bathroom shower and sink.
Very friendly staff. Quiet rooms. Excellent Location right in front of the cathedral.
Breakfast is very poor. Rooms are rather small. Bathroom overfloated after every shower in spite of closed glass shower door.
I would of like if their would of offer me the newer section
Hotel was in great shape for the price and it was in a centric location in the heart of Ponce. I would really recommend it to anyone.

So wrong it's funny; Republicans complaining of republicanism
If anyone is hijacking the Republican party it's Mitt Romney, the creator and promoter of Obamacare, the banner of firearms, the Washington lobbyist, the supporter of government bailouts.
In fact, one of the only true republicans in the Republican party is Ron Paul! Yet the Republican party doesn't want him, which proves that the Republican party is essentially a government agency now, which supports democracy, no different than the Democratic party.
Further the Republican party complains about Ron Paul winning elections in this republic in a republican fashion rather than democratic, even when the official process is republican and not democratic.
The Republican party is full of complete imbeciles! They don't even know what the name of their party means.

Amazon's $60 BTV1 is one of the better deals in mini wireless speakers.
The AmazonBasics Portable Bluetooth Speaker BTV1 is one of the better "generic" mini wireless Bluetooth speakers and a good value at $60.

When it comes to cheap HDMI cables, what's the better option, AmazonBasics or Monoprice? We take a look.
Normally $49.95, this high-end adapter lets you stream music from your phone or tablet to just about any stereo, boom box, or speaker dock.

Choudhury is from Portsmouth and Kingston Crown Court "heard he had traveled to Syria to attend a terrorist training camp." According to BBC News, Choudhury "was arrested at Gatwick Airport on this return to the UK." Prosecutors in Choudhury's case argued that he "wanted to be trained in the use of firearms" and "intended to pursue a 'political, religious, or ideological cause.'" Prosecutors said Choudhury had also discussed becoming a "martyr." He will be sentenced on June 13. Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins Reach him directly at email@example.com.

With Dwight Howard's long-anticipated debut on Sunday night, the world got its first look at the reloaded Los Angeles Lakers.
Dwight, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace will justifiably draw the most attention this season and beyond, as those five will win a lot of games for the Purple and Gold.
The Lakers, star-studded as they may be, are an old group. Bryant and Nash are in the twilight of their Hall of Fame careers, while MWP and Gasol are no spring chickens. Only Dwight Howard is in the prime of his basketball life.
For this team to truly become dominant and compete for championships, the bench has to produce. And therein lies the Lakers' greatest problem.
Last season, LA's bench was the worst in the NBA—Matt Barnes and his paltry 7.8 points a night led the way. So far this season, the problems persist. As they fell to 0-6 in preseason play last night, the Lakers' subs were outscored by the Sacramento Kings' reserves 57-18.
Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks were brought in to improve matters over the summer; it remains to be seen if they can do so.
So, what can head coach Mike Brown do to maximize the play of everyone but the starters?
Aside from praying that Kobe and company build big leads so the bench play becomes almost irrelevant, Brown will have his work cut out for him this season. Below is a look at some of the key contributors off the pine, and their role in the Lakers' success.
Steve Blake will serve as Steve Nash's backup. He struggled last season (only hitting 37.7 percent of his shots), and seemed to lose confidence as a result. Due to the talent on this team, plenty of open looks will be available, and Steve Blake needs to rediscover his touch. With Nash needing to rest his balky back throughout a long season, Blake and Chris Duhon will be counted on to keep the offense humming.
Kobe Bryant may have gleefully bragged to reporters about killing Jodie Meeks during training camp practices, but Kobe needs Jodie to provide him with more than just the occasional breather. Mike Brown and his star shooting guard agree that he needs to play less than the 38 minutes per night he posted last season. Meeks has to prove that he can provide a scoring punch off the pine, play reasonably good defense and keep Kobe from needing to overextend himself prior to the playoffs.
Jordan Hill emerged as a reliable bench scorer and rebounder last season, capably filling in for Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol during key stretches. Once he returns from a back injury (herniated disk), Jordan will spell Dwight Howard and be counted on to grab boards and guard the opposing team's best low-posts scorers. Coach Mike Brown likes what Jordan Hill provides—tough, hard-nosed play and the ability to score when given the opportunity.
Antawn Jamison will the most interesting bench player to observe this season. He's a big-time scorer (career average of 19.5 points per game) who has played for many terrible teams throughout his long NBA journey. Coming off the bench in Los Angeles, Antawn is the anchor of the reserve unit, and must provide a scoring boost while the starters rest. Despite his struggles so far in the preseason, Jamison is a veteran and proven player who should be able to eventually find his way in the Lakers' offense and contribute.
The Los Angeles Lakers have the makings of a good-to-great team. Their stars are expected to be spectacular, and with good reason.
But for the squad to become truly formidable and get back to championship contender status, head coach Mike Brown must find ways to get the most out of his bench. Much easier said than done.

First time visitor, staying in Santa Monica
Hi all,
I'm visiting LA for the first time tomorrow and looking for some suggestions.
1) Casual places for breakfast, lunch, and late night drinks and bites in walking distance of the Sea Shore Motel (Main St at Ocean Park Blvd). Looking for places I can sit at the bar or feel comfortable at a small table by myself. Take out or food trucks are good too. For drinks, a selection of Cali microbrews on tap is a plus.
2) Comfortable coffeeshops or other places with WiFi where I can get some work done. Great coffee (not drip) and real espresso pulls a plus.
3) Ideas for nicer dinners anywhere around town. I'm especially interested in types of cuisines and preparations that are hard to find or not as good on the East Coast -- I'm visiting from Philadelphia and NYC restaurants are accessible to me.
I don't want anything super high-end, but besides that price is not really a concern. However, appropriate quality for the money is always appreciated and I'm not really interested in places that put style over substance.
Every Tuesday night on Main Street and Ocean Park behind the California Heritage Museum is food truck night from 5:30 to 10pm. The trucks change weekly. Here is a list of truck that will be there on Oct 19th
Kabob N' Roll
KO Taco
No Jodas Cuban Kitchen
Papas Tapas
Slammin Sliders
Uncle Lau's
re: sushigirlie
Thanks. I know Intelligentsia is supposed to be legit, but do any of these spots have great roasts, ground to order cups, proper espresso pulls, real cappuccinos? Hard to get a read from the Yelp reviews because an awful lot of attention is put on food and flavored/soy drinks, not the actual coffee.
"Their Indonesian Kopi Luwak coffee beans are diverse, rich, and flavorful. I absolutely enjoyed the use of Milan beans as the baseline flavor for my Soy Dark Chocolate Mocha and Soy Vanilla Latte. " (review on Funnel Mill)
Give me a break!
re: barryg
Head to Caffe Luxxe on Montana Avenue for the espresso you seek.
Caffe Luxxe
925 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403
re: barryg
I would go to Funnel Mill more for tea rather than coffee. I think that's where they really shine.
Funnel Mill
930 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA
re: mollyomormon
I think Funnel MIll shines as a place to work.
Intelligentsia is more than legit. It's coffee is arguably the best in LA.
Amelia's shines for a casual lunch (esp. sandwiches). And it serves Intelligentsia coffee (though I've never tried it there).
Across the street from your motel is the Basement Tavern. Great place to get a drink or a beer. For a large selection of beers, walk up to The Yard on Broadway at 2nd. It's also a great place to sit at the bar and have dinner, CJ from Top Chef is the chef there and the menu is fantastic.
For free wifi, walk over to Peets Coffee, where you can get individual french press. It's about a 2 minute walk from Sea Shore.
Also go sit at the bar at Chinois on Main and have dinner. It's still one of LA's best restaurants. Another idea is to wander down to Chaya Venice, it has a real LA atmosphere, great (consistent) food, and you'll meet all the locals (especially at happy hour).
For food you won't find anywhere else, head to Abbot Kinney and sit at Gjelina's community table. You'll love it.
re: yogachik
+1 for Chinois and Gjelina. Sitting at the counter looking into the kitchen at Chinois is immensely entertaining for a solo diner, and the smaller dishes are the highlight of the menu anyway. Gjelina is my favorite L.A. restaurant of the moment -- find a neighbor to share a pizza with, and be sure to order the butterscoch pot au creme for dessert.
1429 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, CA 90291, USA
re: nosh
Is Chinois really that great? We went for lunch last week to try it out with their DineLA menu and were SERIOUSLY underwhelmed.
While I don't expect a restaurant necessarily to have the most complex or inventive dishes for something like DineLA, I do expect the dishes they present to be well prepared -- especially at a Puck restaurant. And from apps to desserts, the best thing we could find to say about our dishes is that some were mediocre.
This was doubly disappointing because we've had fantastic meals at Spago and Cut, including a wonderful lunch last DineLA at Spago.
I think you can walk to Cora's Coffee Shop (not sure if there's wifi. There's a Coffee Bean not too far away that does I believe have wifi. You could also hoof it to Chez Jay which is sort of Santa Monica's version of the bar in Star Wars.

re: mc michael
For solo nice dinner, i recommend the communal high tables at Gjelina on Abbot Kinney in Venice. Great for pizza or amazing small plates and quintessential L.A. Also, sitting around the fire pit at Bar Hayama on Sawtelle could be nice.
Bar Hayama
11300 Nebraska Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90025

Thanks for the amazing advice, all. Keep it coming and I will let you know how it goes! I'm aiming to hit Gjelina Sunday night if my dinner companions buy into it. The menu look fantastic.

>>For drinks, a selection of Cali microbrews on tap is a plus.<<
Library Alehouse is on Main Street - it's about a couple of blocks south of Ocean Park. The food is good as well. Expect an average of about a dozen California brews on tap. And this week happens to be LA Beer Week - Library Ale House is one of many places joining in the celebration. Tomorrow is the final day - live it up!
Library Alehouse
2911 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90405
Have dinner at the bar at Musha one night. Not walking distance, but only 1.8 miles from your hotel. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Monica. It's Japanese, but stay away from the typical sushi bar fare. Pick the more izakaya style and off beat menu items, like the braised pork with potatoes, homemade "pure" tofu, charcoal grilled steak, or risotto prepared tableside. If you can find a dining partner it would be ideal, but even solo at the bar you'll find some fun things to eat.

424 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401
weinermobile, in reply to your post....it seems like you know a lot about the food truks in area. If you were going to hire one of them for a party of bout 40 people, which one would you hire? I don't really care what kind of food as long as it si yummy and most people will like it. Any suggestions? I haven't been to them and I son't have the time to try them all out. Thanks a million.
Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I didn't get to try everything, but I think I did pretty well. Here's the rundown.
I arrived early on Sunday so I got to see the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. It was pretty incredible, but I had lunch plans so I didn't get to try any of the awesome looking prepared foods. I really wish I did. The produce of course looked amazing.
For lunch, we went to Urth Cafe, a favorite of my hosts, and I ended up there 3 or 4 times total, I think, for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. The food was consistently very good, and the service, for what it was, was very good too. The roasted corn chowder and their baguettes stood out as excellent. This place struck me a couple notches up from Panera Bread and I'd love to have it in my neighborhood or near my office.
My first night there, when unwinding by myself, I wandered over to The Yard after finding the Library Ale House too full to get a seat. I really liked the vibe there. Being a Sunday night it was not crowded and very relaxed. I got to chat with people at the communal table (great idea, we don't have these in Philly) and watch the Phillies win. The beer list was decent and I liked the menu; I tried four different plates, though, and while well executed they were all pretty mild and forgettable. In fact I don't remember half of what I ordered. I ended up coming back here for Happy Hour with my colleagues; it's a bit lame that draft beers are not discounted but again the atmosphere was perfect. I realize this comes across as negative, but if I lived in the area, The Yard would be a good candidate my neighborhood bar assuming I found a couple gems on the menu (the peach and burratta salad looked incredible, I wish I tried it).
Breakfasts and lunches for the next couple days are a bit blurry but I made it to Cora's for breakfast and really liked the food and atmosphere on the patio. This was at like 7am on a weekday so it wasn't crowded. I also hit the Omelet Parlor for a pretty good breakfast burrito one of the days. The real highlight there was the home fries--these were exactly the style I crave and are very hard to find in Philly. Among the best I've had anywhere. I also went to Urth a couple more times as mentioned.
On Tuesday, my hosts took us to Bay Cities Italian Deli for lunch. I was very impressed with the fresh Italian rolls--really incredible--but not so impressed that that they didn't offer sharp provolone as a cheese option and that they tried to put mayonnaise on my prosciutto di Parma. I wanted to get a breakfast or lunch at Amelia's by the motel, but the no laptop policy was a bummer, they were closed on Monday, and didn't serve breakfast until too late on Tuesday.
Tuesday night I was really, really excited for the food truck event across from my hotel, and I was really, really, disappointed that it was canceled due to the weather! Especially since it wasn't even bad out by East Coast standards. So I decided to hit the bar/lounge at Chaya to try some sushi and their special izakaya menu. When I got there, though, the place was completely packed and a mob scene. The Library was also full, so I decided to save my cash and just hit a taqueria on main--Holy Guacamole, I think?--for a burrito and a taco, which was nothing special.
I wanted to hit Luxxe and Intelligentsia for coffee, but I had to use coffeeshop time to do work; since those places were not super convenient, I was afraid that after schlepping I wouldn't be able to find a seat and get work done for extended period. I ended up at Novel Cafe a few times, which was perfect for doing work since it's so big and relaxed. The coffee was fine and the food--I had a veggie sandwich--was good. I also went to Peet's a couple times, which had friendly staff but overall is not too different than Starbucks.
Saving the best for last: my colleagues and I went to Gjelina on Monday night. My hosts were afraid it would be hard to get a table, but we only had to wait 30 minutes. Everything was excellent, especially the pizzas (we ordered a second Pomodoro--incredible) and grilled okra. Service was also very good and while loud, I didn't even think it was bad for a trendy place. Thank for your this rec!
I was pretty price insensitive since I was traveling, but overall the breakfasts and lunches were on the pricey side, I thought. Dinners seemed fine for the kind of places I went. Is this a Santa Monica thing or an LA thing?
Also a question about Chinios. I wanted to check it out but had some serious sticker shock. The menu looked pretty uninteresting to me--looked like pretty standard nicer Chinese fare--but with astronomical prices. What are you paying for here?
Again thanks for all the recs. I will almost definitely be back in the SM/Venice area fairly soon and look forward to hitting more great places then.

re: barryg
Sounds like you did well.
As for Chinois, it's a Wolfgang Puck place that was headed up for a number of years by Lee Hefter before he moved on to Cut and other Puck ventures. In the earlier years it had an unlisted phone number and lots of celebs. The number is listed now and you can still see the occasional celeb. The food is pretty good (although Puck no longer serves fois gras in any of his places, and there was formerly a good fois gras). The Shanghai Lobster is also pretty good. You are paying for Puck, for atmosphere and for well prepped Chinese fusion food. Probably the cache and edginess of this has been supplanted by Puck's WP24 downtown.
900 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015
re: mc michael
Thanks for the info, but is it really fusion? Maybe the menu wasn't very descriptive but the dishes all sounded really straightforward to me, which is why I wasn't interested at that price point.
re: barryg
You have a point, but I think the food is different enough from your average Asian restaurant to make it a fusion. Also, Puck will kick up the ingredients in Asian dishes, using a better or different fish or meat. I've never seen crispy spinach in an Asian restaurant by the way. I'm sure you could find things like he has in Hong Kong, I just don't think you'd find the same ingredients or occasionally saucing routinely at local Asian spots.. The closest Asian analogue I know to Puck's concept is Yujean Kang in Pasadena.

re: mc michael
<<In the earlier years it had an unlisted phone number>>
That is so...well...shocking to me. I never knew this. My parents brought me there (alot) when they couldn't, or didn't want to, go to the original Spago on Horn. Even then (as a nascent Sino-phile) the expensive fusion thing bugged me - I was learning what real Chinese food was, and didn't like it all that much served expensively, Puck-ishly, to folks who liked dumbed-down, and numb-ed down, Chinese food.
As for my experience at WP-24 -- it was garishly expensive - yet quite beautifully cooked, and presented. Closer in both proximity and in taste to SGV Chinese, but very limitedly so. I would not go back; I would pass it (quickly) on the 10 or the 101 heading for the Temple(s) of Heaven in the SGV. But I will remember it. Sort of fondly. I would recomend it to well-healed-unadventuressf-riends who must be downtown.
176 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
re: Ciao Bob
I think the unlisted number was a thing that was only used in the beginning to create cache and demand for tables. It didn't last long. Actually, they may have had 2 numbers; a listed one on which you couldn't get a reservation and an unlisted one on which you could. Anyway, that's long past.
re: barryg
Re: price, Santa Monica is in general a pricey area (and there are ares of cheap in LA, but overall I would say LA is on the pricey side), and most of the places you hit were not "cheap" or affordable, sans Bay Cities. Even Holy Guacomole charges $10 for a burrito if I'm not mistaken. Future reference: Eduardo's, Tacomiendo and Tacos Por Favor are better choices.
Oh, and regarding the food truck event being canceled... The Alibi Room in Mar Vista/CC has Kogi's food (Kogi is the one who started this trend).

Thirteen firefighters from the Meota Fire Department, assisted by firefighters from Cochin and Aquadeo, fought a fire at the Jackfish General Store and Post Office April 22. When they arrived at 3 p.m. the fire had already engulfed the general store, and firefighters remained on the scene until 11 p.m. when the fire was contained. Because of their work, it was kept from spreading to houses or the Jackfish Church nearby. The fire is still under investigation.
