Still Standing

Restaurants come and go – Here are a few restaurants that are still standing that I reviewed before Eat Travel Go was born in 2018. They are still here, alive and thriving, despite the corona virus pandemic. Read my original reviews on our sister site – LAArtParty.com founded in 2010. I love happy hours, and small plates. Of course pizza is another favorite. Here are several places that I love.

I reviewed Southend back in 2015. This cozy restaurant offers a romantic atmosphere with scrumptious pizzas with all sorts of interesting toppings. Located in Venice Beach just off Abbot Kinney, it makes for a great date night. CLICK HERE to read my review. Southend’s address is 2805 Abbot Kinney Blvd, but the entrance is on Washington Blvd., Venice 90291; http://www.southendla.com

In Santa Monica, you’ll find an eclectic variety of food at Brixton. I have enjoyed the happy hour specials (be sure to check the website…as things may have changed). The Fish and Chips entree is excellent

If you are looking for a low key casual place to eat fantastic pizza. The Good Pizza is the place for you. The crust is superb. Keep in mind I am a native New Yorker, so I know good pizza!!!

Review: The Secret Stash, Crested Butte, CO

I stopped by the popular pizza place The Secret Stash in Crested Butte, Co. The place was buzzing. It had so much character. Cool objects were hung all over the walls, including old records, tapestries, etc. In the back, Tibetan statues were proudly displayed along with a very unusual chariot-style bike. Most of these items were collected from all over the world by founder Kyleena Falzone.
