National Beer Day in LA

Cheers! Did you know that it is National Beer Day? April 7th, 1933 was the first day in 13 years that people could buy, sell and drink beer. President Roosevelt signed the bill legalizing beer consumption and sales on March 22nd, and then on April 7th the new law went into effect. This unofficial holiday is celebrated all over the United States.

Now that you know the history, it is time to celebrate. Obviously, you need to drink a beer, but lets find out where the best places to celebrate are in Los Angeles.

Anchor Brewing might be from San Francisco, but you can still sample their delicious brews in Los Angeles. It was one of the few breweries to survive the 13 years of Prohibition, and it is also the only local San Francisco brewery that is still in existence from that time.You can find Anchor Brewing beers at Hotel Palomar & Blvd 16 ,10740 Wilshire Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90024. This is also close to your home at The Glendon. 

If you don’t mind the drive, head to Father’s Office in Santa Monica. They have a delicious burger, but there is more to this delicious establishment than their food. They now have a huge selection of international and rare beers to choose from with your dinner. Use this holiday to expand your tastes and try a new beer that you cannot get anywhere else. 

You can also head outside to Verdugo Bar to enjoy your drink in their awesome beer garden. They offer 22 regularly rotating tap beers along with happy hour and day-of-the-week specials. If you use this day to do a beer tour, this is a must-have on your tour list. 

Finally, if you want to celebrate National Beer Day with more of the brewery side of things. You can head to Thrillist best brewery at Beachwood Brewery in Long Beach. Beachwood Brewery has won more awards than any other brewery in the Los Angeles Area.

Make A Few Friends At The Glendon

Living in apartments can be trying at times. Being in such close proximity to other people can cause a lot of problems for everyone involved. There’s loud noises, there’s interesting food smells and there’s other strange things you need to deal with. When you live so closely with other people they can begin to grate on your nerves a bit. Sometimes you just need to go the extra mile and go out of your way for your neighbors. It can really make a difference!

Start small! Being cognizant of yourself and the noise you’re putting out into the apartment, is a great place to start. When you turn your iPod on to rock out to some tunes while cooking dinner, think about how high the volume is. If you would be annoyed by someone playing loud music at that hour of the day, then you should turn it down a few notches. Be respectful of your neighbors and they’ll return the favor.

Are you a coffee drinker? When you’re standing in line at Garlo’s Aussie Pie Shop, isn’t it frustrating to look ahead of you and see a long line stretching to the counter when you’re late or in a rush? Now imagine being someone even farther behind you in line! The next time you look behind you and see one of your neighbors, grab them their coffee too. We guarantee you that they’ll pay you back for it in the future. The next time the positions will be reversed and you’ll be at the back of the line with only 15 minutes to take a 20 minute journey to work. You’ll be thankful you grabbed your neighbor their coffee then! Luckily for us, Garlo's is super close to your home at The Glendon.

Have you recently picked up a new hobby that you want to share with others? Convince your neighbor to join and they’ll thank you for sure! CorePower Yoga has a studio right next to The Glendon, so you don’t have to go far to get there. Yoga is a great way to not only stretch and exercise your body but to silently bond with your neighbor. You never know, a few yoga classes could end in a budding friendship!

Spring Cleaning

Cleaning is something that no one wants to do. It is time consuming, and we would rather be out having fun. We all get a little lazy with our apartment cleaning. That’s alright, though. The spring weather is sticking around for a while so you still have tons of time to spruce up the place. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to begin before the official start of spring. Here’s how you can get your Glendon apartment back in tip top shape.

Split the work up for yourself. If you try and do it all in one or two days, you’ll stress yourself out about having to get it all done. Spreading it out over the span of a week or so will let you work at a slower pace and give more attention to the details. You won’t miss any spots if you spread all the work out. Create yourself a schedule and you’ll know exactly what needs to be done on what days.

 Living Room

Get into those couch cushions and vacuum in between them to get all the built up clutter and dirt out. You might even find some money in there! Take everything off of coffee, side tables and book shelves. Make sure to dust not just under the objects but the objects themselves too. Dust all light fixtures and lamp shades. You’d be surprised at how much brighter it will get in the room once you remove that layer of dust. If you have any rugs lying about make sure to take them outside and shake them out to get the dust and debris off of them.

 Kitchen

You wash dishes all the time but you probably don’t think of the place where your dishes live. Get everything out of your cabinets and wipe down the inside of the cabinets as well as the outside of the cabinets and handles. Think of how many hands have been on those handles! Next, empty out the refrigerator and wipe down all the shelves and drawers. Toss anything from the fridge that you know you won’t eat or is out of date. Wipe down your stove and oven. Messes are attracted to the stove so scrub it down extra well. Clean the microwave out by first putting a glass of water in for 30 seconds. This will loosen up all of the gunk caked onto the inside walls. Don’t forget to sweep and mop to clean up all those spills from the last few months.

 Bathroom

Wipe down that mirror so you can see your beautiful face in it again! There’s no point in having it if you can’t see yourself in it. Your showerhead has probably built up a lot of residue over the time you’ve used it. Take a plastic zip bag, fill it with distilled white vinegar and tie it up around the shower head using a hair tie or rubber band. Let it sit for and hour and then wipe the head clean with a wash cloth. Take stock of your beauty products and hair care products. Over the next month keep track of what you’ve used or haven’t used and at the end of the month toss everything you haven’t used. You’ll cut down on your clutter and also streamline your routine.

It doesn’t take a lot of work to keep a home clean but it does take a lot of work to get it clean in the first place. So get a head start and get your stylish, luxury apartment back in shape and from here on out you’ll only have to do small things here and there.

Get your green on. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up and we cannot wait to celebrate. Even if you are not Irish, you can still celebrate with your friends at many events in the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles knows how to party, and we have found some great events throughout the next week. So go find your green shirt and beads, you are going to have a great time!

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

The St. Patrick’s Day parade is an event that everyone looks forward to all year. Green is everywhere as we see some of our favorite local floats and celebrities ride through South Bay. The St. Patrick’s Day parade will be held on March 12th this year. It is only an hour from your home at The Glendon. The parade starts around 11 am and features local officials, Irish dancers and more. 

St. Patrick’s Day Festival

Casey's St. Patrick's Day Street Festival in Downtown LA is from 6am to 2am on March 17th. This festival features food, drinks and games all day long. It is even free admission before 3:30pm. This event will be held at 613 South Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA with an entrance at Wilshire and Hope.

Unplug For A Day

Today’s fast paced society can be draining. Being on the go all the time can make you forget the time before you were busy nonstop. With our faces constantly buried in our phones, tablets and laptops both at work and at home, it can distract us from the real world. Even though our phones are great connectors and open up a whole new world to us, sometimes there’s nothing that beats good old face-to-face communication and alone time. In honor of the Day of Unplugging, take a day or even just a few hours to unplug from your electronics and live in the moment.

The weather in Los Angeles is almost always beautiful, so it’s okay to spend tons of time outside. Luckily, at The Glendon, we have an edgeless infinity pool and sundeck. Relaxing in the rooftop area in the pool with your pals is a great way to be social without having to be attached to your phone. If all of your friends are already with you, you don’t need to stare at your phone! Hopefully, this spring and summer will give you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the edgeless infinity pool and sundeck!

One of the best ways to avoid the draw of your phone is to occupy yourself. Strike out into the city for an event! If you’re enjoying yourself and keeping busy, you’ll forget all about your phone and enjoy yourself even further. March is one of the best months to live in Los Angeles. You can experience Old Pasadena Happy Hour Week. All of your favorite happy hour specials extended through a week instead of a few hours. You can distract yourself from your phone while indulging in over drinks and appetizers from your favorite restaurants.

Another great way to remove yourself from the burden of technology is to take yourself outdoors! Spending time outdoors is never a waste of time. There are tons of lovely local parks in Los Angeles to enjoy. Enjoy a day with the animals at the Los Angeles Zoo. Lately, most people at zoos are trying to get the perfect selfie with a lion. However, take this opportunity to really just watch the animals without looking through your phone.

Enjoy your Day of Unplugging with some distractions to keep your mind off of the fact that your phone isn’t in front of your face.

Celebrate Chili Day

Yum! We love a good chili. From a great traditional chili to a five-alarm bowl at a chili cook-off, you can never have enough of this great dish. Did you know that February 24th is National Chili Day? This is the perfect day to make your own traditional chili, or you can get out and explore some of the great restaurants with chili in Los Angeles. We hope you and your stomach have a great National Chili Day.

The Inkster in Eagle Rock is the perfect place for you to start with your National Chili Day celebration. They offer a variety of burgers and other sandwiches, but we are coming here for their delicious chili. They have chili fries made with Belgian fries, thousand island dressing, caramelized onions and shredded cheddar cheese. You can also try their chili bowl or chili burger.

If you are looking for something a little more classic, you have the perfect choice in Carney’s on Sunset Boulevard. This is an iconic landmark in LA for many years. This restaurant is built out of an old Pacific Railroad passenger train car. Their chili is traditional, but you can add it to pretty much anything on the menu. This is also the perfect place to go for the 2am chili cheese fry snack you are craving. 

The Addiction Bistro knows their chili. They participated in the Malibu Chili Cook-Off in 2008 and took home two awards for six different chilies. This bistro was opened because of that Chili Cook-off weekend. You can taste over 20 homemade chili recipes, including an entire menu dedicated to vegans and vegetarians. There is something for everyone at this massive chili establishment. 

Pink’s in Los Angeles may look like an old time diner, but this delicious hot dog stand has some of the best chili dogs in Los Angeles. They have been open for over 60 years selling their giant variety of chili dogs to the LA area. 

These are just a few of the many chili options you have close to your home at Palazzo Westwood. What is your favorite chili recipe? Share with us in the comments underneath this post on our Facebook Page. We hope everyone has a great and delicious National Chili Day. 

Plan Your Vacation

We could all use a little vacation. Even if it is only for a few days, the ability to fly away from home is a great escape. Lucky for you there are some great getaways from Los Angeles that will not break the bank. Do you need some ideas on where to start? We have researched some of the best quick vacations from Los Angeles. Keep reading and decide where you will make your escape.

What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

What about a short weekend trip to Vegas? “Sin City” is only a 75 minute flight from your home in Los Angeles. Thanks to SkySkanner we have found flights for as low as $106 round trip. Now that you have your cheap flight, it is time to find cheap accommodations. One of our favorite places to find hotel deals is Groupon. For example, Groupon right now has a special to stay at Harrah’s Casino Resort for as low as 23.50 a night. You can even use all the money you saved at the slots, a show or a few drinks. 

Spontaneous Weekend Getaways

Groupon has great deals on hotels, but they also have great deals on vacation packages. Maybe you have a few more vacation days and a little extra money to spend. You can head to the Tropical Princess Beach Resort & Spa with airfare for as little as $599 a person. This all-inclusive resort has many days to choose from. However, these specials always sell out fast, so make sure to check everyday to find the best trip for you.

The Emerald City

No, we are not suggesting you head to Oz for your next trip. However, a quick trip to Seattle sounds perfect. Expedia has some great bundle deals to really any city you can imagine, but we thought visiting Seattle for a weekend would be a relaxing trip. You can find a bundle deal for flight and a three night stay at the Sheraton in Seattle for only $532 a person.

We hope this blog gave you a few ideas for your next vacation. No matter where you go, we will be happy to see you once you get home to  Palazzo Westwood.

Our work gets in the way, school gets in the way, family gets in the way, life just gets in the way! This year, make an effort to reach out to those friends that you might have let fall by the wayside. Invite them over to spend time in our TV area.
