Ramma Geni Cafe - Melrose between La Cienega & West Knoll Drive

I stumbled upon another slice of undiscovered LA recently. The subtitle of this post should read "In which the Mobile Knowledge Worker discovers free wi-fi, great food and wonderful service at a West Hollywood hookah lounge." But I'm getting ahead... Continue reading

Food Lab - Santa Monica Blvd between Gardner & Sierra Bonita

As I approach Food Lab's door, a little Cindy Lou Who look-alike runs up to door. She presses her face against the glass. It becomes a pinkish blob studded with two bright blue eyes. She laughs, I laugh. Her parents... Continue reading

Larchmont Bungalow - Larchmont between Beverly and 1st

I caught a hint of lemon or maybe verbena as I walked through the doors of the Larchmont Bungalow. My second impression was that I had walked into a light and airy general store in the midst of an upscale... Continue reading

I've been thinking lately about the term "fast food." It seems to me that we call the quick snacks that we pick up on the run "fast food." This term can have a negative connotation. When we travel in other... Continue reading

The Mobile Knowledge Worker & the Full-Body Scanner, Pt. 3

At last it was our turn. A laconic young woman, hair pulled back and wearing glasses, supervised the conveyor belt. As I put my stuff in the bins, I said, "I want the Pat Down. I don't want to go... Continue reading

The Mobile Knowledge Worker & the Full-Body Scanner, Pt. 2

We got to the airport in plenty of time on the travel day. We checked in curbside. There was no line. The skycap was cheery and efficient. "I'm just nervous about this whole Pat Down thing," I confessed. "It's not... Continue reading

And I've since discovered that the Lazy Ox also has a great Happy Hour. Monday - Friday, 5-7 pm. Certain beers and wine are half off and there's a $5 appetizer menu. Very good value and, of course, very tasty.
