Bay Cities Deli

Had a nice lunch on the patio at Bay Cities.   The crowds are always unbearable here and ten bucks for a sammie seems steep, but one bite of the Don Lorenzo and it's all worth it.  And they have a nice doggie-friendly patio!

Left to right:  The Godmother, The Spaniard, and my faves, The Don Lorenzo. 

Yummy Yum Yum

Check out the lovely Steak Frites from Church and State Bistro that I enjoyed recently:

I know, I know, ordering Steak Frites at a French bistro is so cliché, but it's a classic for a reason!  And relax, everyone--I didn't have the fries!  I know dogs aren't supposed to eat fried food!  And besides, I'm cutting back on my carbs.   ;)

New LA Doggie Hotspot

Guess where I'm headed as soon as I'm done convalescing? Bloomies! That's right! The new Bloomingdale's just opened at Santa Monica Place, the new mall at the end of 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica (one of my fave spots to hang), and Bloomingdales's Creative VP Jack Hruska says, "Dogs are always welcome at Bloomingdale's, always." Woo-hoo! I'm always excited when a new non-"canineist" place opens in my neck of the woods. See you guys there!
