  • Let's Haze These Babies

    Let's face it - more often than not the restaurants in our fair city are way over-hyped. It's pretty much ingrained in our culture that we should ruin genuinely good things with red carpet openings and Kardashian endorsements (disclaimer: w... more

  • Night Out: Art. Food. Liquor.

    Sometimes your boyfriend wants to stay in on a Saturday night with a bucket of chicken and a 6-pack of Bud Light, à la our favorite Carrie Bradshaw beau Aiden. Let him.  We've put together the perfect night to ditch your man in fa... more

  • Midday Drinking With The French

    We love Monsieur Marcel. Oysters & wine on a sunny SoCal day? French onion soup for those rare chilly ones? Casual, cozy, and so not LA, Monsieur Marcel is our  sad/bad day recovery spot of choice as well as our favorite place to meet the ... more

  • Summer Skip Days: Party On PCH

    Why is summer so much better than any other season, even here in LA where we don't technically have seasons? Waking up on a summer morning with nothing to do but find some fun is like winning the lottery. Here are some ideas on how to spend you... more

  • Friday Night In

    You thought you didn't want to go to the much buzzed about music festival du jour. It's expensive, crowded, dirty and hot. But, now that everyone you know is headed out of town, you can't help but feel just a little bit sorry for yourse... more

  • Happy Hour: Little Spain

    We Broke Girls LOVE Spain, we're beyond excited to be bridesmaid-ing for a bestie getting married in Barcelona this year, and we can never get enough patatas bravas or tortilla espanolas.  If you don't know what either o... more

  • Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

    Yucky weather outside is remarkably effective at making us crave warm,
soothing foods from the cozy comfort of our homes.  Frankly, what we
really wanted this morning was to heat up one of those $6 pumpkin pies
from Costco (i... more

  • Hump Day Happy Hour: Takami

    This week, we are obsessed with the happy hour at Takami Sushi & Robata, a restaurant that is located 21 floors above the Financial District Downtown. Why? Their sushi is yummy and their happy hour specials run from 4:30-7pm Monday through Frid... more

  • Friday Night In: Dine Like The Dame

    We're still not over Elizabeth Taylor's passing, and some nights we like to make like Charlotte York Goldenblatt and sit at home fantasizing that our lives are even half as interesting as the Dame's.  Since the highlight of our jew... more

  • Hump Day Happy Hour: Downtown

    You're a lawyer, which means we hate you because you make 483902489308 times what we make.  But, it also means you hate you because you don't even have time to spend the money you make, and because no one ever told you that blogging fr... more

  • Epistrophy in NY

    We have no idea how long its been around or why we ended up dining or drinking there almost every day of my stay (our suspicion is that it has something to do with the restaurant’s proximity to our friend’s new boyfriend’s place),... more

  • When It's Your Turn To Treat

    Every so often, you have to suck it up and pay for your man to eat. Er, let's face it.  It's 2011 and most of us make more than our men and thus these types of nights occur more than just 'every so often.'  Accordingly, we... more

  • Romantic Dinners at Romantic Prices

    Romantic Dinners at Romantic Prices Whenever one of those days that guys dread rolls around (your birthday, your anniversary, or -- horror of all horrors -- Valentine's Day), chances are your man will tug at his collar and nervously ask wher... more

  • Westwood Happy Hours

    Called in "sick" again today...?  Your, um, avian flu / bubonic plague / cat scratch fever is back...?  We won’t tell anyone, promise.  But perhaps around, oh we don’t know, 5pm or so, you might start to feel better&helli...; more

  • Brunch at Salt's Cure

    Salt’s Cure is one of those restaurants that make you feel like you’re not in LA. Perhaps Brooklyn or Portland, but certainly not LA. No, they will not rush you – feel free to linger over your cinnamon-butter-drenched oatmeal grid... more

  • Stout Burgers & Beer

    As we were driving around Hollywood the other night looking for a place to grab a bite before a show, we spotted a distinctly New York pub-looking establishment called Stout that practically screamed for us to come in (and sit out, as it's got ... more

  • Philippe's French Dip

    There's nothing more frustrating than having visitors who want to be 'shown the sites' around town. What sites? This is LA, not Paris. And the most 'LA' restaurants, generally speaking, will put you out in the amount of a mortga... more

  • Sunday Supper at Dominick's

    For those who choose not to partake in the alcohol-fueled buffoonery of Sunday Funday at a local divebar, cheering for your favorite team whilst the beer-guzzling guy in the grimy, oversized linebacker jersey keeps eyeing your nachos from the table... more

  • BGG Weekender

    At long last, our beloved weekend has arrived. But, what to do with it while it lasts? Since every moment of our star-crossed romance with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is precious, we’ve put together a weekend itinerary that’ll keep us ... more

  • Father's Day Out

    Father's Day is right around the corner, and being a busy Broke Girl this summer (those marathon Bloody Mary brunches and beach afternoons really are a time suck), it's possible you've neglected to plan anything. Being procrastination-p... more

  • REMINDER: Launch Party at Em & Co. TONIGHT!

    Tonight is our big launch party at Em & Co. Boutique (7940 West 3rd St.), and we can't wait to see all of your pretty faces there between 6:30 pm. and 9:30 p.m!  We're just about to close the RSVP list, so if you haven&rs...; more

  • BGG Weekender

    June Gloom is the punishment we Angelenos must suffer for the 80-degree days we enjoyed back in February. You know, the ones you posted about on Facebook, thus prompting hundreds of friends who live elsewhere in the country to consider deleting you... more

  • Eat Your Veggies: Get Slim & Healthy with Gobble Green

    Even though I like Brussels sprouts about a thousand times more than I did when I was five, I still have trouble fitting them--and other veggies--into my diet.  Since my daily dose of green M&M's doesn't quite count towards the dai... more

  • BGG Weekender

    This is the time of year when people you know start vacationing in faraway places with exotic names you can't pronounce.  To make matters worse, you’re usually stuck reading their exuberant online updates from you... more

  • Best of the Broke: June

    Can you believe it's been nearly a month since you received your first Broke Girl's Guide email? We hope we helped beat the June Gloom (and the more permanent cubicle gloom) by enlightening you as to your options for living large and spendi... more

  • Food Network Star Brooke Peterson's Quick & Dirty Fourth of July BBQ Recipes

    Apologies to the people who pay our salaries, but we quit working at least a day ago and are already mentally enjoying the upcoming three-day holiday weekend. We figure you're likely doing the same, so we enlisted Brooke Peterson of Food N... more

  • BGG Weekender

    Four-day work weeks are like puppies and babies and kittens and cocktails all rolled into one marvelous, truncated little thing, aren’t they? The fact that we have almost arrived at our next reprieve from conference rooms and cubicles makes u... more

  • The Perfect Parisian Day in LA

    Though the travel bug has us itching for some European jet-setting this summer, astronomical airfares will prevent us from fleeing to Paris anytime soon. Wouldn't life be perfect, though, if you could spend even a few days in the City of Lights... more

  • BGG Weekender

    Yesterday, we received an email from a friend asking if we thought she would have a problem getting home to Brentwood from the airport on Sunday. We still haven’t stopped laughing. As we are all by now aware, the 405 is closing down this week... more

  • Not Your Ordinary Picnic - LA's Best Gourmet Baskets

    With Carmageddon looming on the horizon, the driving-obsessed populace of Los Angeles will suddenly find itself forced to keep things local. Gazing in wonder at their previously unexplored environs, Angelenos might actually venture out – if y... more
