I found out on Thursday that I still had my ‘floating holiday’ for 2006 left to use, and only one day left in which to use it, so I took today off to spend with Aimee, who returned from Boston last night. We started with breakfast at Eat Well<\/a> on Beverly, a place Aimee runs past all the time but where we’d never stopped to eat. We consulted our new guidebook Walking L.A.: 36 Walking Tours Exploring Stairways, Streets and Buildings You Never Knew Existed<\/a><\/I>, and chose walk #15, West Hollywood, for our first foray.

\"Schindler<\/a>

It started at the Schindler House<\/a> on Kings Road not too far from our place, and took us down Melrose to the Pacific Design Center<\/a> and back. The Schindler House was great – I wish we’d known and taken the family there during Thanksgiving, but maybe another time. Interesting architecture and interesting exhibitions. We had a cookie at Sweet Lady Jane<\/a> and enjoyed a tea (or a tonic, maybe?) at Elixir Tonics & Teas<\/a> on the way. Photos of the tour here<\/A>.

\"Pacific<\/a>

After a little rest, we headed to the ArcLight<\/a> for a screening of Notes on a Scandal<\/I> – good performances, ehh movie – and then to The Dresden<\/a> in Los Feliz for a dinner of appetizers and entertainment from the legendary Marty & Elayne<\/a>. “The Lady is a Tramp,” “Luck Be a Lady,” “Satin Doll,” “Muskrat Love”… What a scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
