Escape at a French Cafe

I'm sure you can all agree that it gets a little tougher to meet new people when you're out of college, which is why I go out so much. And it's also why I like Los Angeles restaurant deals that allow for networking, like SocialBuy's Socialite events. I've taken advantage of a couple of these Los Angeles restaurant deals and they have been super-fun and have been at great LA venues. This next one is at Cafe Was on April 29 from 7 pm until close. Cafe Was is located on Vine in Hollywood. Through SocialBuy, you can buy a voucher from $21 worth of drinks for only $10. They have a full bar and they also have a great French bistro menu. I really like the Medjool dates, which are dates stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon and drizzled with a great balsamic vinegar. If you're feeling daring, you can also order escargot. Meeting great people and getting Los Angeles restaurant deals - what could be better than that?

Living it up at Villa Blanca

I've been looking for a place for a nice graduation dinner and thought to myself, "Wouldn't be nice if I could take advantage of Los Angeles restaurant deals?" So I went was perusing my normal deal sites, and found Los Angeles restaurant deals on SocialBuy.com. One was for pizza, which is a little to casual for graduation, but then they are also offering one for Villa Blanca, for $60 worth of food for only $30. What sold me on this restaurant is the dressy/classy factor. I want something memorable and chic for my graduation dinner and something pretty "LA." This restaurant is right off Rodeo Drive and the interior is pure white and lit mostly by candlelight. They serve Mediterranean fare, like paella and sea bass. AND they have chocolate lava cakes on the menu. Sold for sure. All that and Villa Blanca is a part of those great Los Angeles restaurant deals. Yay.

Be a SociaLite at the Geisha House

The Geisha House in Los Angeles is one of my favorite hot spots to haunt, but rarely is it one of those places where you can get Los Angeles restaurant deals. Which is why I love that SocialBuy.com is hosting their SociaLite there tomorrow and they have a great deal for $50 worth of food for only $30. This Los Angeles restaurant deal is redeemable for alcohol and believe you me, you can get some bomb sake and some great Japanese fusion food.

So go take advantage of the great Los Angeles restaurant deals at SocialBuy.com and enjoy tomorrow night at the Geisha House.

I love Los Angeles restuarant deals. Obvi. I also love wine and French food. Obvi. So thus, I love SocialBuy's deal for $10 for $20 worth of Food and Drinks at The Station.

And with my Los Angeles restaurant deals, I don't have to worry about stretching my dollar, only about stretching my waistband. Don't judge - you're the same way. So check out the Los Angeles restaurant deals at SocialBuy.com.

Glam Americana Food for Cheap

The hardest part about Los Angeles restaurant deals is deciding where to go. For instance, I just bought a voucher for 17th Cafe on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica at Socialbuy.com ($20 for $40 worth of food.) I was browsing the menu and I just can't decide whether I want to do a Sunday brunch or lunch with mis amigos. The banana nut pancakes look bomb! But then agin, every one says that the sweet potato fries make this one of the best Los Angeles restaurant deals, which means I would have to go for lunch. And then I could order the grilled marinated Japanese eggplant sandwich, which is a delish-sounding sandwich with "Marinated in olive oil and fresh herbs, grilled and served on our rosemary bread with fresh mozzarella cheese, Roma tomatoes, roasted bell peppers and fresh basil." I'm salivating already for my Los Angeles restaurant deals.

The Beauty of Late Night Food

Bella Pita, on Gayley Ave in Westwood, is known as a great drunk food place. But I want to create a new category of Los Angeles restaurant deals of cheap food that tastes just as amazing sober than when inebriated. Even if you're not a vegetarian, you'll love the falafel pita. The falafels are fried fresh! And our hot and crispy on the ouside and is never over-cooked and too hard, like some places. The aspect of this little place that seals its Los Angeles restaurant deals is their legit condiment bar. Condiments are the probably the main reason why I love eating as much as I do, and Bella Pita really has superior standards with their varied hot sauces, fresh vegetables, white sauce and hummus. Yummy Los Angeles restaurant deals! An amazing meal for under $5. Woot!

Banana Pancakes Make Me Happy

“I’ll make you banana pancakes – pretend like it’s the weekend now, and we can pretend it all the time.” OMG, Jack Johnson really got it right. I love banana pancakes, partly because of that song and partly because of Vivian’s Millennium CafĂ©. It's located in Studio City and it’s part of this week’s Los Angeles restaurant deals. At SocialBuy.com, (where I get a lot of my Los Angeles restaurant deals,) I found a voucher for $10 worth of food and drinks for only $5. Vivian’s is smaller, intimate and has very friendly staff. Vivian’s is great for breakfast or lunch, and the voucher is good for Monday through Friday, so you can pretend it’s the weekend just like Jack Johnson. I just love Los Angeles restaurant deals.

Great Hookah in LA

Food, drinks and hookah? Sounds like Los Angeles restaurant deals for sure. At SocialBuy.com, you can purchase a voucher for $30 worth of food for only $15 at Kaffe Rouge. Kaffe Rouge is on Ventura in Studio City. The decor is French-Arab inspired, so it feels really luxurious. They have great coals, a ton of different flavors - I love the Tangerine Dream. Speaking of great Los Angeles restaurant deals, they have great food. Like amazing food, including a s'mores dessert with homemade caramel. It's definitely a great hookah bar in Los Angeles, so check out the Los Angeles restaurant deals at SocialBuy.com.

Crazy for Korean Food?

I've recently become addicted to Korean food, and was searching for Los Angeles restaurant deals to satiate my desire and I stumbled on Dave's Gourment Korean Food in Hollywood on Wilton. It's one of my Los Angeles restaurant deals because it is just so cheap. Like so cheap. The spicy tempeh and the bbq tofu are basically the best thing ever -great, flavorful, well-cooked. Everything you could possibly desire in your Los Angeles restaurant deals. So amazing! Also I would also recommend the radish kim-chi, which has a great bite to it. It really just hits the spot.

East = Perfection with Drink Voucher

In my hunt for Los Angeles Daily Deals, especially Los Angeles restaurant deals, I stumbled upon the best thing ever. Remember when I wrote about the new Happy Hour at East Restaurant and Lounge? Well, just a couple of days after that, UrbanDaddy featured it in their daily email AND SocialBuy.com just posted a voucher $7 for $15 worth of cocktails and drinks. Who wouldn't want Los Angeles restaurant deals at a bar from the same owner as MyHouse, AKA the best club in LA. The voucher only works for the bomb drinks, but you HAVE to try the Japanese-French fusion food, especially the monstrously delicious Saigon Nachos. As as added bonus, SocialBuy is hosting their first SociaLite, a chill sesh with fellow cool people from 5-8pm next Tuesday, March 9. I'm down to go, anyone want to join me? Go take advantage of these Los Angeles restaurant deals

Garlic Cheese Rolls = Love

As I've said before, sometimes the best Los Angeles restaurant deals aren't just ones that have a temporary deal going on, but a restaurant that provides consistent good deals and delicious food. One of my go-to places is Italian Express in Westwood. Actually, I never go to it, it comes to me. (Seriously, this is one of those Los Angeles restaurant deals that is best enjoyed in the comfort of your own home, because there is absolutely no ambiance at the restaurant. But there isn't a corkage fee, so that's pretty legit.) Anyway, they have this gigantic pizza for only $14. And the most delicious part is the garlic cheese rolls. You haven't lived until you have consumed these after getting home at like 2 am. Another selling point, this place is open till 3 am. Los Angeles restaurants deals indeed.

East = Amazing Happy Hour

So usually I do only one Happy Hour a week for my Los Angeles restaurant deals, but I don't know how I can resist letting you guys in on another deal. East, an Asian Fusion place in Hollywood, just introduced their new Happy Hour. It's 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and valet is only $5, drinks are only $7 and food is only $8! For a swanky Hollywood restaurant/bar that's one of those sweet Los Angeles restaurant deals you have to try! You have to try the "Shady Lady" cocktail - it's my fave! Coupled with the tuna tostados and an avocado and ponzu sauce, it'll just make your night. Seriously. Plus, it's super-new and you'll sound really cool when you talk about it (like me, lol) so check out my fave of the Los Angeles restaurant deals this week!

I'm Craving Salt... and Tequila

So my Happy Hour of this week is Pink Taco. Even though I am all for Los Angeles restaurant deals, my feminist self was a bit perturbed by the name of the restaurant. I mean, really? But once I got over my annoyance, I had a great time at the Happy Hour with my friends. My margarita was half off and was impressively strong. Yum! And the general happy hour special is buy one, get one free. The nachos really sealed the Los Angeles restaurant deals at this place. They literally could have fed a small country. It was pretty legit. The rest of the food was decent, but it was so cheap that it was definitely worth it. I would go back again, even if just for the margarita. Again, my visit proved to me why Happy Hours are really the best Los Angeles restaurant deals.

Surf and Sand and... Fish and Chips?

Finally after all that rain, it's time for sunshine. And there's no better way to celebrate than with Los Angeles restaurant deals. It feels like summer, so I'm looking for something fun and easy. I just purchased a voucher from SocialBuy.com for Reel Inn Fresh Fish in Malibu. For $15 you get $30 worth of food and drinks! Talk about Los Angeles restaurant deals! They have tons of fresh fish cooked to order. Plus, it's right by the beach, so you can enjoy the California "winter" to its full extent. Even better is the range of beer and wine at Reel Inn. So many choices, so little time! Once again, Los Angeles restaurant deals make the season.

Fast Food for Free?!

I admit it - I love Jack in the Box; it's an easy way to take advantage of Los Angeles restaurant deals. Please reserve judgement. Sometimes those tacos are just too damn good to resist. So next Tuesday (Feb. 23), I will be at Jack in the Box, purchasing a large drink and getting a free grilled cheese. So maybe it isn't something you would brag about, but you'll be thanking me when you sink your teeth into gooey deliciousness. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Plus, it's free! You really don't get better than free Los Angeles restaurant deals. Sometimes, you just crave fast food. Now you just have to regret the food and not the empty wallet. Thank you, Los Angeles restaurant deals.

BYO Wine with No Fee? Woot!

Legit Italian food and wine? Sold. Even with Los Angeles restaurant deals, its hard to find a place that doesn't charge a corkage fee for bringing your favorite wine to dinner. That's one of the reasons I like Rosti Tuscan Kitchen in Santa Monica. And regarding Los Angeles restaurant deals, I got a voucher from SocialBuy.com for $25 worth of food for only $10. That means a Saturday lunch for two and a quick stop to Trader Joe's to pick up a red and I'm having a weekend sent from heaven. I love Los Angeles restaurant deals in Santa Monica, not to mention Rosti's delish ricotta and spinach ravioli. Plus, there is a lot of free parking opportunities and it just has a really sweet and cute ambiance to it. It's intimate enough without being over the top. Good Italian restaurants are few and far between, but Rosti has that je ne sais quoi.

Drum roll, Please! The Happy Hour of the Week is...

Napa Valley Grille. Ok, so I admit it, I basically live here. It's so close to my work and it's so easy to just toddle on over for the sangria and blue cheese hush puppies. This is one of those great Los Angeles restaurant deals that in the form of a happy hour and you know how I love those! The mini-Kobe burgers, the pizzette, the mac and cheese - you really can't go wrong. At all. I always end up feeling satisfied and tipsy for like $12. Yeah, I told you - Happy Hour at NVG is one of Los Angeles restaurant deals. Added to the great food and drinks, it also tends to be less crowded and less loud than Palomino - my other favorite. Now that I've told you about these great Los Angeles restaurant deals, you'd better go try them out!

Tiramisu Makes Me Smile

Whenever I'm craving an Italian sit-down meal at a Los Angeles restaurant, I always end up going to Buca Di Beppo. But that's because I forget about the amazing Los Angeles restaurant that is Trastevere on Third Street in Santa Monica. It has such fresh food that is authentically Italian. The tiramisu is a good enough reason to go to Trastevere by itself. So light and fluffy and delicious. It's what comes to mind whenever someone mentions tiramisu. Not to mention that this Los Angeles restaurant is a block away from the beach. Perfect dinner right there: Some delish pasta followed by a slab of tiramisu. Then grab a coffee to go and walk the beach. You can't get any better than that.

So cute, it's disgusting

Ok, so I'm not sure if 26 Beach in Venice actually has a traditional deal going on right now, but every time I got there I feel like my friends and I are getting Los Angeles restaurant deals. It has such great ambiance and decor and the service is amazing. But the aspect that makes these Los Angeles restaurant deals actual deals is the extremely giant portions they give you. My friend and I split the L'Orange croissant french toast served with a bitter orange creme and orange glaze. Splitting the French toast gave us two generous portions and it was so scrumptious I almost died. Definitely our Los Angeles restaurant deals of the month. This place is great for brunch, especially when you order a mimosa.

I could really use a drink...

Drinking can get expensive, but one of my favorite Los Angeles restaurant deals is in Westwood at Palomino. Their happy hour is one of the best. My favorite drink of all time (and not just at this happy hour) is the $4 cranberry mojito. It’s so refreshing, and let’s be real, you can have three for the price of one drink somewhere else. It’s one of the most amazing Los Angeles restaurant deals ever. Paired with the gorgonzola fries fresh from the kitchen, this place is the perfect way to start a week, end a week, or just enjoy the week. I just wish there were more Los Angeles restaurant deals that I enjoyed just as much.

I Think I Found My New Home

Urth Caffe in Santa Monica is exactly what I picture when I think of a Los Angeles restaurant. It has a beautiful outdoor terrace, a menu full of fresh produce and a great selection of teas. It takes advantage of all that California has to offer: sunshine and ocean and produce. The relaxed feeling of this Los Angeles restaurant also makes it great spot to go for a weekend lunch or just to take a moment out for yourself. The Los Angeles restaurant industry is plentiful, but there are a few places that really capture the California essence and Urth is a Los Angeles restaurant that really does. I had a mocha and a portabello sandwich there this past Sunday and it made my weekend.
