Ride the Metro to Swankdom - Page 3

OK. Here are some choices for nosh/drinks around the Egyptian

Bella Cucina Italiana - got a great review in the Times yesterday.

Another Dolce Group restaurant is one block further up the street:
Geisha House

Boardners is an old old place up the street that could be fun for drinks.

The Hollywood Roosevelt has turned into a place for Paris Hilton and Lindsy Lohan to hang out and I'm not really into flash-in-the-pan swank but the quieter poolside bar may be fun. I'm just not standing in any velvet rope line so I can be bored.

We enjoy the LA Erotic Museum. It's quite nearby. Love Toad!

I hear Dita von Teasa often preforms here - now that would be a swanking

Our favorite tattoo parlor is also right there, Kayden Creations (in the Cherokee Building) - they're the ones who did my Skull with Mickey Ears.

Are we still doing this, yo? I have no LoT access at work (blocked yet again) so unless we can get in touch by ringle-dingle en el telefono, I won't know what the meeting plans are. But as an aspiring female director, I really oughta be at that Egyptian showcase.

Yes! We are going.

I am going to catch the Metro lin LB and meet Chris at Hollywood and Highland. Then, we are going to walk down to Gesha House for some nosh and then to the Egyptian for the series of shorts.

Timing may go somewhat like this: 5:30 H&H then wander to the restaurant around 6. Back to the Egyptian at 7:15 or so.

Both Chris and I will be cellphone available after we come out of the underground.

Will Berlin's "Metro" be the theme song for the day?

Well the First Metro Swanking of 2006 went off wonderfully - after gathering at Hollywood & Highland we walked down to the Geisha House - and I must say I was please with it's swank factor.

We were early so we had our choice of dinning room or bar - we ask for the "prettier" and got the Dinningroom, which didn't dissappoint. Darkly lit with a central tower featuring staggered fire places, a wrap around interior balcony and a Tokyo Noir Cityscape fill the one wall. The other walls are upolstered in various Kimono fabrics, softening the overall effect

I enjoyed the unagi, and had a Geisha Kiss - a sort of hybrid kir Royal with saki melon and Lychee added - quite a tasty treat.

We also sampled Geisha lips, and the ocean dragon rolls, Tuna Tatake, and some other delightful albacore sushimi

We quickly devoured a desert of tempura bananas with carmel, chocolate, and cinnimon ice cream - delightful - before we headed down to the Egyptian for a great collection of shorts.

All in all a great evening and hopefully, a sign of more to come in 2006.

Cheers,
