I Capture the Castle
the single most charming book you’ll read — and a surprisingly beautiful meditation on love, art, religion, and what it all means.
PASJOLI, where French is fun.
Hands-down the best dirty martini on the west side. Order with extra olives (because theirs are extra-good) and a side of chicken liver mousse and fries. You’ll thank me.
Dudley Market Venice
Sneaky front-runner for best burger on the west side. Go early to avoid to the wait and enjoy beachside with a cold glass of orange wine.
ON GOLDBELLY
Single best cheesecake… ever??! It’s possible. Plain is the go-to here.
