Terroni


Shereen Arazm's (Parc, Geisha House, Shag, Bella, Dolce) new restaurant, Terroni, is hands down my latest food craze.

4 factors that make the place:
-The food is southern style Italian- ultra thin crust pizza, fresh pastas made on site daily, seasonal salads, and a delightful array of semi-sweet dolci.
-An attractive bar w/ counter space where you can have a drink and/or dinner. There's a full wine list, as well as regional Italian style cocktails too.
-The ambiance is lively even during weekdays, yet it somehow manages not to be a hipster joint. The decor is fun and inviting, but not overt or contrived.
- Close to probable next stops, or home.

Terroni
7605 Beverly Blvd. (Fairfax District)
323.954.0300

SYI: When you're at the bar, ask your bartender for "The Sean"... close in taste to a mandarin soda, except it's made up of vodka, soda, with a 2-count shot of the Italian Aperol® orange liqueur.

"Revelation" By Karim Rashid



Superstar designer Karim Rashid has designed a collection of five spirit bottles for Bombay Sapphire in conjunction with jewellers Garrard and crystal brand Baccarat.

Called "Revelation", the bottles are made of hand-cut crystal and decorated with sapphires and diamonds. They cost $200,000 each.

Reflecting the global popularity of Bombay Sapphire, the limited edition Revelation bottles will be launched at five major international airport locations – starting with London Heathrow airport on March 27th, to coincide with the opening of the new terminal five and subsequently New York, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney. One Revelation bottle will be exhibited at each of the five international airports for two to three months before being securely transported to its new owner anywhere in the world.

Profits from Revelation will benefit the travel retail industry’s chosen charity, The Smile Train, which provides life-enhancing cleft surgery to children in poor countries.
