    Convince me LA Eats are better than Bay Area Eats

    So I will be in LA for a week starting today. I am a food nerd like you won't believe. I do not get down with trendy foodie bullshit. Antony Bourdain is more my speed ie cheap ethnic eats but get down with haute cusine when the food is up to snuff with the price. What are ESSENTIAL eats that I...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Anyone ever done it for a significant amount of time ? I am going on 4+ months now and it's amazing the difference it makes in all areas of your life. Esp as someone who was used to drinking 3-5 times a week on a social level.

    Music critics worth a damn

    Depends what you are looking for. There is a huge difference in reading real deal music criticism and music "journalism". In fact, I know journalists who would never call themselves critics because they know that real academic criticism is on another level. Not to say its...
