The best and most affordable way to get there though is via ferry boat service, The Catalina Express. The Sandtrap’s Happy Hour seems to be a thing of legend, so if it’s that time of day and you’re not at Hotel Pavillion for wine and cheese hour… get your butt over to The Sandtrap for $1 tacos, $5 margaritas, and cheap beer! A fun way to do that is by way of Jeep Tour with benefits being a small group with better chances to see more (buffalo hello! ), you’ll have the chance to learn more about the island’s history, landscape, and inhabitants – and have a blast driving around in a Jeep while you’re at it. For a full list of these activities plus more, visit The Catalina Island Company for more!
Ruin bars are one of Budapest’s most beloved attractions – you must visit at least one, and if you only visit one… it should be Szimpla Kert. It’s touristy as heck, and I would advise only visiting for breakfast/lunch/tea, but it’s absolutely worth seeing (and snapping a photo in). Offbeat Budapest’s “Beginner’s Bogi took us to St Stephen’s Basilica, The Parliament building, Hero’s Square, Vajdahunyad Castle, ruin bars, through the Jewish Quater – and seriously so much more – in just one day.
When I got this dress from & Other Stories, I immediately thought it had some serious art deco vibes (anyone else seeing some similarities with this famous painting? ! ). So naturally, it needed its own art deco moment at the most art deco-y place I could think of in LA: Union Station Downtown. I don’t know if I was subconsciously influenced by the famous painting of the Young Lady with Gloves, but pairing the dress with white accessories seemed like the way to go. We found this beautiful space outside in between the station and their new bar – Western Beer Company.
Another mandatory Rhodes family stop, Fish La Boissonnerie (right around the corner from Bar Du Marche in Saint Germain) has some of the best fish-centric, “home-cooked” dishes I’ve had in Paris. It’s owned by Juan Sanchez – a Cuban American who moved to Paris in 1989 – who opened Fish La Boissonnerie in 1999. It has a really cute design, it’s relatively large, and it’s down the street from one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in Paris – Brasserie Vagenende. If you’re looking for the MASTER LIST of the best restaurants in Paris, he’s the man to trust!
