Woof woof! It is #NationalDogDay, and we do love our furry four legged friends at Palazzo Westwood. Dogs can be your best friends and protectors through many years of your life. They always know how to make their owner’s day a little bit better with some cuddling and playtime. Here are a few ways to spoil your furry friend on National Dog Day. 

Let Them Run Free!

Start by taking your dog to Hermon Park in the Arroyo Seco Dog Park. This park is an off-leash park for your pets. Your dogs can run free through the off-leash area and play with their dog friends. To get to the dog friendly area: Follow the park lane from the park entrance to the Avenue 60 Bridge. Then, you will pass the tennis courts and children’s play area.You can then walk under the bridge and the path leads you to the dog park. Finally, if your dog is smaller or a bit shy, there is a separate area for those furry friends too. Remember food is not allowed in the dog park for safety reasons.

Make Them Feel Gorgeous

D Pet Hotels Hollywood knows how to make your furry friend feel like a movie star. Give your dog the day it deserves by booking a grooming appointment at D Pet Hotels Hollywood. You can give your dog a fresh hair cut or color, or you can even sign them up for a pet massage. Do your dog's nails need a little love? Give them a pawdicure and buff and clean those nails to perfection. Finally, finish your dog’s relaxing day with a D-Wrap. This thermal wrap detoxifies your dogs body and fur to a clean and healthy state. 

After you and your furry friend complete your day, you can come back home to Palazzo Westwood. Curl up on the couch and watch AirBud to cap off your special day. Palazzo Westwood loves our pets so make sure to take a selfie with your furry friend and post it to our Facebook page after your day. We hope you and your forever friend have a great day.

Great Nights Out In LA

We all can all call ourselves “foodies” from time to time, but Los Angeles has so many events that are in the foodie mecca. Every type of food and drink you can imagine is served at various events through the year. We have found a few events that we think you should defiantly try on your next free weekend or free night. 

Wine Night

You still have a few more weeks to experience the Barnsdall Art Park Friday Night Wine Tastings. This event is hosted on Frank Lloyd Wright’s newly restored Hollyhock House, and the evening’s music is provided by KCRW’s DJ Dan Wilcox. For $30, you can sample four selections of artisanal wines and local gourmet cheeses. Also, for an additional $12, you can take a curator-led tour of the House. These Friday Night Wine Tastings are from 5:30pm-8:30pm until September 4th. 

Taco Festival

If you are looking for an event of the free variety, it is happening downtown Grand Park on August 22nd. This park is home to two great events; the L.A. Taco Festival and a series celebrating the LGBTQ community. The L.A. Festival features tacos from Kogi, Tacos El Gallito, Homeboy Industries, Danny’s Tacos, Los Ruizeñores, Zingo and more. Also, you can hear music from California-based Afro-Latin influenced Quinta Penas. After you grab your tacos, head to the PROUD Picnic which will feature food trucks, music and games from 1pm-5pm. The Taco Festival will be from noon to 7 p.m..

Mixology Dinner

The Queen Mary’s dinner series is adding a new addition to their popular date nights. They will feature a Mixology Dinner and Competition in the Barrel Dinner Series. Four mixologists will be on hand to impress guest tastes and a chance to win $2000. The challenge is to pair a cocktail with a select dinner course made by the Queen Mary’s executive chef. The evening also includes welcome cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, the main course and dessert. This special event will be held on August 27th at 6pm. You can purchase tickets here for $130. 

All of these great events are close to your home at Palazzo Westwood. We hope you can grab some friends or that special someone and check out all of these great events that Los Angeles has to offer.
