Wednesday night is pasta night at Bristol Farms
Bristol Farms might be known as "an extraordinary food store" but it should also be known as a great place to take the family for a Wednesday night pasta feed.
Pleasure Faire: It's all 'Renaissance' at the ale stand
First of all, there's the cleavage. At the Renaissance Pleasure Faire it is inescapable. That's fine - well, in most cases that's fine. But the excessiveness of it all may conflict with historic accuracy. I mean, really? It is well known English people sunburn easily and exposing such a large expanse of pale skin to harmful rays seems like it would have been genetically contraindicated in the days before sunscreen. But... you're a guy alone ...
All that jazz at Marriott
An intimate group of friends, fans and hotel guests gathered in the lounge of the Courtyard by Marriott Valencia on Thursday, April 2 to enjoy the smooth jazz stylings of one of music's greats, Grammy nominee Phyllis Battle (formerly of The Fifth Dimension).
Two Women on Wine: Hand-selected wines are only the beginning
You can tell a great deal about a wine store from the labels it carries. Some stores strive to carry big name brands that consumers easily recognize, while others embrace the challenge of stocking their racks with lesser-known labels. In a store devoted exclusively to wine and wine accessories, you are more likely to discover lesser-known boutique wines that don't enjoy the benefit of large marketing budgets and advertising dollars to promote them. Instead, these ...
Eggs-cellent Easter Brunches
OK, this is not so much of a review as a preview. Though I would like to, I have not sampled all of the brunches on this list - especially at Easter. I have, however, stuffed myself several times at the regular brunches at El Chaparral and Don Cuco's in Canyon Country. However delicious, when you partake of one of these, especially if you add in champagne or a margarita, you'd best plan the rest ...
'Mamma Mia!' enthralls at Pantages
One of my favorite musicals "Mamma Mia!" has returned to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood through April 19. I don't think you can see "Mamma Mia!" too many times.
Easter events in the SCV
"It's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes," growled Captain Quint, as he was describing a shark's eyes in "Jaws." Well, I kind of feel the same way about the Easter Bunny. Sorry. Still, each to his own, and kids seem to like the guy. If your children like the Easter Bunny, egg hunts and the like - or if you are looking for a more spiritual experience, this weekend offers a number ...
Wolf Creek goes to COC for beer tasting
Admit it boys, many of you went to college for the beer. Well, now the beer is returning the favor. On Friday, April 17 the "In good Taste" event comes to College of the Canyons and features, among other things, beer tasting. And the craft ales of Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company will be featured. That's right. Move over wine tasting. It's time to get real. "It's neat to do a beer event, to ...
‘Leading Ladies’ plays at CTG through April 25
Hold the spa weekend and hold the therapist. If things are getting you down, if you need stress relief, you can get it just as effectively and for much less at the Canyon Theatre Guild as "Leading Ladies" kicks up its heels there through April 25. Bring grandma, too. This high-energy romp-in-drag will have everyone laughing their troubles away. Director Ingrid Boydston said, "If you need to get away, this is the perfect place to ...
'Treasure Island' plays at CTG through April 25
When Director Michael Davies steps up on stage before the show and guides the audience in a group practice of pirate "Arrrh"-ing, you know you're in for a good time. And it's never in doubt from that point on, Mateys. "Treasure Island," as presented at the Canyon Theatre Guild, is a family-style musical with a lot of chuckles tossed in. Davies said, "It's a bit like 'Treasure Island,' as conceived by Mel Brooks, with some ...
