This is Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea in Venice and they have a really different concept of a shop-front which I loved (third picture)! A piece of fun fact: while we were enjoying our lattes, we also happened to be sitting next to actor, Sebastian Roché. He picked up on our part-English-part-Mandarin conversation and asked where we were from. After introducing ourselves, we told him we were speaking in Mandarin because we were talking about him! He was really nice and very chatty and made for a pretty cool first celebrity encounter in LA.
I also saw Camryn Manheim walking out of a bodega at the Lower East Side and Vanessa Traina in Greenwich Village in NYC… She had a whole posse that one.

Parking lot outside of the Original Pantry Cafe
Had delicious taco’s at Yuca’s, twice!
Had brunch here and drank coffee out of said bowl
While walking out of the parking lot towards Hollywood Boulevard
I’m gonna try and post photos all week long, I just only have a few more batches to share from my trip. I do feel like I need to look forward and ahead more than backwards and also keep the blog current with what I’ve been up to.

Hey Griffith Observatory!
While we were here, I strongly felt the urge need want for a wide-angle lens. Ok, to be honest, this trip confirmed the need for an upgrade. I’m thinking of getting the Nikon 24mm/F2 prime lens. Would totally love to hear any recommendations or stories or thoughts, if you have any!

This is Food + Lab, the one in West Hollywood. I could eat here everyday! They serve their coffees in big bowls – they also do this at Le Pain Quotidien – I’ve never drank coffee out of a bowl, never knew I could 😉
I took a photo of our breakfast table and posted it on Instagram then, here’s the link if you missed it or aren’t on Instagram.

Hey Hollyridge Trail! I wish I could walk up and down your curves again and this time I won’t wince at all the horse poop lying around. Swear!
