Leonardo DiCaprio’s House: 432 Hermosa

Sometimes, we find cool places. Sometimes, we find cool people. And sometimes, these two intersect, which is the case with 432 Hermosa. Formerly owned by Dinah Shore, it is reportedly part of Leonardo DiCaprio’s house. Or at least part of his real estate portfolio. But, even without the pedigree, this is your house for that Palm Springs weekend. It’s not just the desert that is bringing the heat this year; Palm Springs is the place to be. With the opening…

Where Celebs go in LA

El Fish Marisqueria

It happens maybe once a year, but now there’s another reason to eat on the Upper West Side.

For decades though, most of these restaurants arguably epitomized mediocre. Really good restaurants or trendy food didn’t last too long on the Upper West Side. The crowds were also the furthest you could get from the downtown cool. It was pretty rare to see a pack of tier two models…
