The iconic Los Angeles Athletic Club is a premier space in Downtown LA, that is an entire workout and sports mecca, social club, hotel, event space, speakeasy, and dining destination. There’s no@other place like it!

I enjoyed a brief stay at LAAC when I assisted with Times Media Group’s holiday party for California staff. The hotel is more of a boutique-style, consisting of 72 rooms on the top few floors of the building. SWIPE FOR MORE IMAGERY…

The service is impeccable, the decor and design are classically elegant, and the food is fantastic. I cannot wait to return! This is the perfect home base if you are ever doing anything in Downtown Los Angeles.

Craft 64 in Chandler is the 2nd location of the brand, and has a long history of from-scratch creations and craft beers.

Starting with this beautiful charcuterie board, you’ll enjoy the best housemade focaccia in the Valley and its legendary mozzarella with fig jam, Mediterranean olives and a selection of fine cheeses.

And new at Craft 64, is the house-made pepperoni that co-owner James Swann spent two years perfecting with his own curated blend of spices! It’s worth the trip to Chandler or the first location in Old Town Scottsdale.

The wings are made 100% fresh, never frozen. In fact, Craft 64 doesn’t even own a freezer! Wings are smoked, never fried, and kissed with a slightly sweet Buffalo Trace Bourbon glaze and a light queso fresco. These are the best wings I have ever had!

While searching for a great dinner on Denver, I found Jing, and I was thrilled! The Asian fusion fine dining concept was just what I needed to end a very long day. And BONUS… Jing is coming to North Scottsdale next month! SWIPE FOR A SNEAK PEEK…

The lobster dim sum is melt-in-your-mouth decadence. The honey chicken and shrimp is a light, crispy and slightly sweet delight. The tuna crispy rice is a flavorful appetizer that walks the line of rice and sushi roll. And that Reese’s peanut butter pie? As delicious as it is sinful, yet surprisingly light!

The exceptional service was the icing on the cake! The design is an elegant and sexy mixture of circular white leather booths, black and white striped chairs, scrumptious fabrics, crystal accents, mini bamboo forests with colorful flowers and a vibe that is perfect for date night, an ultra-romantic pan-Asian culinary escape or the perfect place to celebrate anything. I can’t wait for the Scottsdale location to open!
