I <3 Counter Burger And I Don’t Even Eat Burgers…
Posted by Nessa in L.A. Food, Places In & Around L.A. on May 2, 2010
I had probably walked by this place a dozen times… Not even noticing it was a restaurant. Counter Burger looks more like a copy center than a burger joint from the exterior (anyone agree?)! Guess I failed to notice the tagline beneath the name reading, “Custom Built Burgers.”
Either way, a “Burger” place is not something that would typically catch my attention. I’m not a vegetarian, but I don’t really eat too much red meat (I mostly stick to chicken) so seeing “Burger” in the name, I have to admit, I was less than ecstatic to give it a try. That was until I saw their customizable “Burger” menu! I’m a girl that LOVES any place that allows you to “make-your-own” or “customize-your-own” food/drink ehhh errr FRO-YO! Even though I tend to mix and match too many flavors (red velvet, pistachio, peanut butter + gummy bears, strawberries…) I love to create my own concoctions and try out different combinations! But I digress… back to Counter Burger.

Caffeine Fix: CB&TL & Aroma Cafe
Posted by Nessa in Just Because, L.A. Food, Places In & Around L.A. on April 2, 2010
There’s no doubt that I love the Coffee Bean! Ever since I tried it for the first time two years ago when I moved to L.A., I fell in love. In fact, I frequent the local CBTL shop down the street from my apartment to get my daily caffiene fix… usually a Hazelnut Soy Latte or a Spring Peach Tea Latte! Not only do I love their handcrafted drinks, I’m also a big fan of their teas!!
Quick, convenient, friendly service and what I love most is their social media presence! Being a social media professional myself, I greatly appreciate their savvy use of social media to connect with their consumers/fans like me! I love following them on Twitter (@TheCoffeeBean) because I’m always in-the-know about free drink days and special promotions/contests. Plus they are really great about replying to my tweets :) My go-to coffee and tea place will forever and always be The Coffee Bean <3
Once in a while though, I like to treat myself to a latte and/or even a breakfast/lunch at the Aroma Cafe down the street in Studio City. Originally a residential home, Aroma Cafe is hidden on Tjunga Ave off of Moorpark away from all the noise and traffic.
Mountain High: Local Snowboard Playground
Posted by Nessa in Places In & Around L.A., Sports on February 28, 2010
As I sit here at my computer with goggle lines on my face (not such a cute look) and a sore body after a day of snowboarding, I can’t stop thinking about how amazing the conditions were and how much fun I had! Today was definitely one of the best days of snowboarding I can remember in a long time!
Typically, I venture up the winding roads to Big Bear Lake, CA and alternate between boarding at Bear Mountain and Summit Mountain. This time, I decided to try out Mountain High for the first time and fell in love!
