Adventures in LA

Happy Wednesday, folks! Ryan and I have some exciting news to share with you all today! After months of the unknown, it is finally official - in a few short weeks, we'll be packing up our apartment, the We Heart Paper studio and the pups... and moving to LA! While it is super exciting to start a new chapter of our life together in a brand new city - it is also bittersweet. I'm a New Yorker at heart and I'll miss my family and friends... and of course the hustle and bustle here. The atmosphere is definitely more relaxed on the west coast - I nearly jumped out of my skin waiting in line at Starbucks the last time I was in LA. I obviously need to take a chill pill. :)

We'll be spending the next few days in LA to scope out apartments. If any of you have recommendations on great restaurants, fun shops and/or apartment buildings in the downtown/South Park area, I would really appreciate any suggestions!

    I'm sad we're not going to be on the same coast, but at least when I come to visit LA, I can see you and Lillian and others all together.

    Janie! That is amazing news. I'm bummed I won't get an opportunity to meet up with you in New York, but I'm excited for what you and the fam will have in store in LA!

    Recommendation: You NEED to try my brother's restaurant called Starry Kitchen if you have a chance. It's in the heart of downtown. Also, there's this really sweet Asian actress who has a blog called the Actor's Diet and she lists her favorite eats in LA: http://theactorsdiet.wordpress.com/food/l-a-area-eats-2/l-a-area-eats/

    Also if you have time, you should totally make a trip out to the Geddy. What's better than a beautiful museum atop a hill? Plus, they have a great garlic burger!
