It’s heavily featured in the movie Slackers. It’s also the home of one of my favorite LA landmarks, the Griffith Park Observatory.

Breakfast with the BOFAs

Published on December 19, 2007 in Friends. 1 Comment

This weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to Breakfast with the BOFAs at BOFA and Cheyennes swanky Silverlake place. Everyone had a great time, I wish I had taken more pictures. I thought I would share this nice camera phone pic of the incredible french toast creation in the works. This was before the bourbon-pecan topping was applied, which was amazing. Do yourself a favor and follow the link to look at the full menu. Hopefully more of these events will be happening in the future (with more pictures next time, I promise).
