False Alarm?

Heard the fire alarm go off at the building across from us, so I went down to see if anything was worth noting, but nothing to report except some fire trucks

Hollywood Museum

Made a visit to the Hollywood Museum where they have a lot of costumes/outfits from movies and tv shows. Pretty cool place, fun to see once....

Barney's suit from How I Met Your Mother, and from my favorite show 24....Jack Bauer's outfit from 24: Redemption and President Allison Taylor's suit from season 7...

Downstairs they also had Hannibal Lecter's cell....

Cafe Verona

On La Brea, just off of 3rd street is a small cafe with a pretty cool atmosphere.... Its an Italian place that serves breakfast til later in the day along with the pastas and all that. I got the spaghetti amatriciana which was a spicy spaghetti with sauteed tomatoes, pancetta, onions, white wine, italian hot peppers and pecorino cheese. Sophy got an Italian Frittata which looks like a pizza but is actually a Italian country style omlette....

Kamin Thai Fusion Cuisine

Tried this restaurant on Melrose, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Garlic Pepper Shrimp Pasta (shown here) and Sophy ordered Pad See Ew.....both were very good dishes, I definitely recommend this place.

I'm thinking of doing a week long series of Restaurant reviews on my blog, a guaranteed different restaurant for every meal haha
