MILK, LOS ANGELES

Published by Nicole Isaacs

      Beach day & MILK Shop! After a long, hot day at the beach my friends and I wanted something sweet & cold. We decided to try MILK on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles. They have ice cream sandwiches, freshly baked cookies, and make your own cookie ice cream sandwiches! They also have regular food, but the reason the line is out the door is because of the bake shop. My friends and I went all out as you can see from the pictures below… the best was just the traditional chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich. ICE CREAM+BEACH DAY=PERFECT DAY  COOKIE ASSORTMENT!!!!! CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE W/ VANILLA ICE CREAM  MY FAVORITE! Chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream in the middle. The cookie itself was delicious. It tasted freshly baked. It’s traditional and classic and you can’t go wrong.  MACAROON ICE CREAM SANDWICHES Mint chocolate chip, blueberry, red velvet & cookies & cream These were so fun to try! I loved all the different flavor assortments. They were all so yummy! I …

THE GORBALS, DOWNTOWN LA

Published by Nicole Isaacs

     I have been curious about The Gorbals for quite some time. Located in Downtown LA in The Alexandria Hotel, this foodie hotspot has been on my radar for awhile. It’s continually brought up in conversations by other foodies and when I went to the Downtown LA ArtWalk recently, I finally decided to give it a shot. The menu is unconventional, daring & unique.Chef Ilan Hall, half Israeli and Scottish, definitely took a risk in challenging the limits of his patrons’ palates, which is why I think foodies appreciate and really like this place. I don’t think the menu is for everyone though. The food is different, and if you are a simple eater, there may be a little too much going on for you. See my reviews below… COCKTAILS It’s Bourbon Honey: 4 roses Bourbon, saffron-honey, lemon-grapefruit fizz  Jalapeno Margarita: Jalapeno, Thyme, Contreau, Tequila, Lime, Agave Could have done with out. I never seem to like fancy cocktails like this. SWEET POTATO WITH SAGE BUTTER I liked this dish. I love sweet potato-they …

N9NE STEAKHOUSE, LAS VEGAS

Published by Nicole Isaacs

     I recently dined at N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. It is now one of my new favorite steakhouses. I’ve always heard that it was good, but I was blown away. Mastros Steakhouse has always been my favorite, but I don’t know now….N9NE definitely gave it a good run for its money. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in Vegas, you have to go to N9NE. Check out my reviews on the food below! CRAB CAKE Maryland Blue Crab, Old Bay Seasoning, Avocado Dressing, Celery Root-Apple Slaw  A great crab cake! Loved the avocado dressing with it too, I’ve never had a crab cake with an avocado sauce before which made it unique. LOBSTER BISQUE Maine Lobster, Crème Fraîche, Brandy  This picture doesn’t really make the soup look good lol, but it was a good lobster bisque. It was sweet, and there were nice size chunks of lobster in it. AHI TUNA TARTARE  Avocado, Lime, Chipotle-Chili Oil, Crispy Sesame Crackers  I love tuna tartare as an appetizer because …
