Escape Room Aficionados. I have been really impressed by the quality of the Escape Rooms at the Hollywood escape hotel and wanted to schedule a return for months. What makes this set of rooms so memorable is the incredibly high production values, when all rooms are operating they have 12 (!!!) rooms, but they are constantly retiring older and less popular room (also the sucky ones). There are currently nine rooms to choose from and we have done the Cursed Crypt and the Circus, both challenging rooms with 30% completion rates. The easy rooms are only $29 a person while the […] |

International Diners' Club. In our Olympic chronology, we are now at home base, specifically 1932 Los Angeles. Doing a California cuisine place would not be too interesting, so let's do a region that is only a few hours' drive from here: the Southwest. The cuisine here is basically inventive Mexican food. The dish I had last time and that I would recommend is the polenta ravioli with a queso sauce. This restaurant won the Best of the Beach award for best Mexican by the Beach Cities magazine Easy Reader in 2017. Coyote Cantina is at 505 N. Pacific Coast Highway in […] GLAAM members and their guests are welcome to join our group for shows at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Tonight's performance: Frozen.
