Saturday night.






So, last night I went to The Edison with some amazing people. It was intended to be a surprise but someone let the cat out of the bag. So, of course I had to do a bit of research on the place. First of all the website is crazy beautiful! You should definitely check it out.
There is a dress code (....taste is always subjective though) but WOW, the place is so impressive. The Edison was L.A.'s first ever power plant , built in 1910, come on people that's so cool. First of all you enter through the alley, it reminded me of a speakeasy. All around was a feast for our eyes, the bar has kept its architectural and mechanical artifacts, combining hardwood, polished concrete, massive exposed brick walls and all kinds of original machinery. There were vintage black and white silent films being projected onto various walls. Dark and cushy lounge areas and very sexy lighting, I guess that should have been a given. We drank great cocktails, I had a champagne pomegranate and we also ordered a bottle of absinthe for the table the flavor was cucumber! We ate delicious nibbles too. Charcuterie plate, white pizza w/ olive tapenade, the BEST calamari, fries and some excellent sliders and for desert...a plate of cookies and milk.
Over all a great night!
