Metro to the Rose Bowl and some great happy hours

Drinking and driving isn’t cool

Aside from being anti-incumbent, YTsWorld is a huge fan of happy hours, especially ones on the Metro, particularly the Goldline, since YTsWorld is based in NELA. Ultimately, public transportation is good and more politicians should be supportive.

Anyway since the Goldline will probably transport many Rose Parade and Rose Bowl fans over the next few weeks, it’s time to cover some of the best happy hours on the Goldline. (more…)

Becoming a little more hip, Figueroa Blvd.

But does it bring anything to the community?

There have been a lot of movies and commercials shot in Highland Park, and they’re back at it again today. Went down to Antigua right off the Metro Goldline for a little dose of joe and saw production trucks and people everywhere.

But, I wonder, what does Highland Park get in return for hosting all these movie scenes? (more…)

Sunkist roll at Kabuki during happy hour

Enjoying Old Town Pasadena on a Sunday evening

Even though I worked on Monday, I couldn’t help but get caught up in the holiday feeling Sunday night, so I hit the streets.

Since I had some errands to run near Paseo, my first stop was the YardHouse, one of my favorite Pasadena happy hours, although I haven’t been to the YardHouse for happy hour in months, and then it was the one at LA Live. (more…)

Burrito or walk to Dan's?

Simple goals

Decided to stop by el Arco Iris for dinner last night since I couldn’t drive and didn’t want to go far. Plus, I made it for happy hour – one of my favorite times to go anywhere. Did the Valentine’s thing over the weekend anyway. I can only impress so much!

Of course, I ordered my Jessie’s Extra Special. Didn’t eat much since I was already loaded with carbs, so that’s my lunch today.  A real solid lunch.

Yet, I’m already feeling the effects of yesterday’s carb loading. That’s got me thinking about a walk down to Dan’s and a little hair of the dog.

The only problem is there is never a “little” hair of the dog in my world.

Will I have will power?

The Triumph of Bacchus?

I’m a bad boy

Not only have I been conversing with Hyde ever more than ever – he’s living with me right now – I’ve made Bacchus my preferred deity and I’m praying all the time. All the time.

WTF!? What happened to my diet? Where’s my will-power? (more…)

I'll get a fresh start next week.

It’s Friday, alright?!

Wow! I’ve been on a project for a few weeks now that is worse than going to the dentist when you know you are going to need a root canal. I’m up early every morning and off to a great start, but around lunch time I start losing it. I lost it yesterday in a big way, but I hydrated well last night and didn’t feel too bad this morning.

But in last night’s haze I picked up some Hop Ottin IPA from Anderson Valley. 7 percent, folks. TGIF! (more…)

The end of a few Piranha's at BJ's restaurant

And YT’s Madness goes on

Sobriety? Diet? Just big talk. Otherwise, I would have ordered a salad and and a fine bottle of water at BJ’s restaurant last night. Instead, I ate three days worth of carbs and fat while polishing off a few Piranha Pale Ales. But, since it was a friend’s birthday, it was all for a good cause – and I didn’t have to drive.

Still, excuses, excuses. (more…)
