Two words: vodka pie. There’s something that can’t beat the first bite of pizza after you’ve landed in New York. On this most recent trip, it was a vodka pie at La Pecora Bianca – a very simple pizza with a layer of creamy red vodka sauce, dots of mozzarella, and a basil leaf perched…

“Is it basic to love fall?” I asked my work bestie the other day. It’s funny that we live in a time where simply liking a season can land you in a labeled category – a whole “type” of person. Somewhere along the way, fall became pumpkin spice everything. I love that my sun sign…

For hubs’ birthday, I booked the Camelia tasting…

Specifically, strawberries, blackberries, and Rainier cherries. I can vouch for all three because that’s what I picked up recently, and they’ve all…

The last time I wrote about Camelia, I was rewinding to the time in 2017 when we ate at Kato, back when their tasting menu was $60 a pop, set up in a non-descript strip mall in Santa Monica. Now Kato is in a beautiful space at The Row, with a tasting menu that runs…
