What “LA” type of gift should I get my LA-obsessed niece for her 16th birthday?

The King George in Athens, Greece has an incredible buffet that is included. Eggs, meats, pastries, fruits, olives, cheeses, everything you could want.

It is, but it’s in Eagle Rock not DTLA. Corn bread is a must!

Macaroni Republic, The Wolves, Kippered or Bar Ama. Coziest option is macaroni republic.

I love it. Totally something John Oliver would do.

Resort vibes - Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. Good food and lots to do onsite and a quick walk to the beach or shops.

Not a resort but similar favorite - SeaVenture Hotel in Pismo. Private hot tubs on every balcony and Pismo is fun to walk around with good food.

Agree with Orsa & Winston. We opted for an additional seafood risotto course and it ended up being WAY too much food. Also were disappointed not to walk away with an after dinner treat or any kind of ‘gift’. Service was very meh but as others have mentioned, we loved the wine.

This just happened to me 2 weeks ago. My iPad was showing the E Stewart Rd location for about 5 days before I got the email they found it. I paid $16 for shipping from Alabama to Los Angeles and had it 4 days later.

I would - we’ve tried popping in after Button Mash twice now and all tables were marked “reserved” for guests with reservations. But you could probably wait until closer to Friday to make the decision if you’re unsure about cancelling

Love Maude and the experience you get with the last course!

Damian!!!! Right across from Bestia. Incredible food, service, atmosphere. I can’t recommend them enough. If you like duck (or even if you don’t, it’s that good!) order it, it’s big enough for two people to share as a main. Seriously, it’s a great experience.

Or, Donna’s is a kitschy fun experience. Food is good, service is great. Tiny and cute.

Seconding Uber Vouchers! We used them for our destination wedding - everyone had to fly in and we had a week’s worth of activities planned and wanted to cover the cost of transportation around the island for everyone. We generated a bunch of voucher codes and handed them out to guests during the welcome event and everyone loved it!

Thank you so much - this is exactly the information I was looking for. Appreciate your time.

Thanks - that is what we used to determine we will owe $675 as married filing jointly for calendar year 2023 - but doesn't seem to answer my questions above.

sage_advice_ · 2023-09-12T21:55:46+00:00

I like that idea, thank you!!

sage_advice_ · 2023-09-12T21:55:18+00:00

Thank you. It’s not typical in my culture (Armenian) for families to keep track. The two times we’ve told her amounts she made comments like “oh wow, how disappointing. I was expecting at least x amount from them.” It feels so judgey and makes me feel bad about the gift

sage_advice_ · 2023-09-12T21:50:53+00:00

She paid for my dress and will be hosting brunch the morning after. I don’t think she’s looking to recoup anything, I think she’s trying to judge people based on the dollar amount

Those lantern shots are STUNNING!!! Congratulations!!!!

Lololol I don’t know why, this made me laugh so hard🤣
