Attractions
While our wedding is the main attraction, (and don't you forget it!!!) we wanted to give you an idea of some other fun local events and things to do. We've also included some of our favorite foodie spots nearby the venue!!!
The Stinking Rose
Eat, drink and STINK! The Stinking Rose is LA's exciting tribute to garlic gastronomy and the latest dining and entertainment attraction to rival any Tinseltown extravaganza.
The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills has become a star on the famed Restaurant Row and THE eatery for celebrating the culinary euphoria of garlic. The menu features delectable California-Italian cuisine, prepared with as much - or as little - as you like of the pungent herb, depending on each diner's palate. This is the place for ingenues and veteran garlic connoisseurs alike to see and be seen.
The Stinking Rose also offers a wide array of garlic memorabilia and take home treats including clothing, gifts and garlicky products sure to dazzle your family and friends.
A long-time favorite of ours, we hope you will enjoy dining here as much as we have. Rob suggests the garlic french fries, while I cant get enough of the garlic ice cream... (I know!!!)
Woo Lae Oak
Hands down our favorite place for Korean BBQ! For anyone unfamiliar with the wonder that is Korean BBQ, thin cuts of raw, seasoned meats are brought out for you to prepare over a smokeless grill set in your table top. Small dishes of veggies, noddles, rice, and other yummy sides are brought out as accompaniment. A taste sensation!
Monsoon Cafe
Set down those shopping bags and check out the happy hour at this Asian-fusion restaurant on the Promenade. The Pan-Asian cuisine includes Thai, Laotian, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Chinese flavors, all with a California twist. Share some appetizers before or after a show, or just enjoy the music in
the upstairs lounge.
Pinkberry
Get your taste of Swirly Goodness! Robert may argue with me in saying that Pinkberry is the best froyo spot in la, but I'm writing this so... Pinkberry is THE best froyo spot in LA!!! Seriously, this is one of my favorite summer treats in LA!!! I like my frozen yogurt with pineapple, coconut and mango! Rob likes bananas & choco chunks!!!
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
An LA staple! So much better than that OTHER coffee place (you know which one I mean). I am a big fan of the English Breakfast Latte. Rob loves to get vanilla iced coffee as a quick pick-me-up. Whether you like your drinks strong and bold or prefer them sweet and fruity, Coffee Bean has something for you.
Santa Monica Pier
The Santa Monica Pier is always a fun and exciteing summer destination. The Pier plays host to a variety of street performers and artists who put their talents on display for crowds of admirers every day. Below the Pier’s eastern deck is the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, where you can experience some of the residence of the Santa Monica Bay up close and personal. You can play skee-ball and eat some cotton candy at Playland, the Pier's carnival style games arcade. In Pacific Park, a full-scale amusement park on the Pier, you can ride our favorite roller coaster, the West Coaster. And, of course, the Pier’s Carousel still offers old-fashioned entertainment for under a dollar. The Perfect way to spend a lazy So Cal Sunday.
Sony Picture Studio Tour
Take the Sony Pictures Studios Tour and step back into a legendary time. Located on one of the world's most famous studio lots, our walking tour gives you a rare glimpse of old Hollywood's glory days and an insider's view of a state-of-the-art motion picture studio.
Not only is this the studio where the Yellow Brick Road once wound through Munchkin Land, it is also the place where the agents from "Men In Black" battled aliens from outer space and Spider-Man catapulted from skyscraper to skyscraper. Our dynamic studio tour guides will shed light on the film and television production process by taking you to various soundstages and by sharing tales of days gone by.
Filled with movie, television and commercial productions on any given day, you never know what- or who- will be just around the corner!
