Introducing Christina Zilber

From Kim:

Recently, I'm making more trips to LA - there are gift shows to attend, vendor meetings and inspiration in the myriad of shops and restaurants. At the end of one such visit recently, we went to the Sunset Tower Hotel for an early evening cocktail.  I've long wanted to visit this Art Deco gem and landmark on Sunset Boulevard.  Indeed, it's a deco beauty and so chic in it's thoughtful restoration and keeping. The restaurant and bar are located on the ground floor, and because the tower is perched on a hill, this affords an almost arial view toward downtown Los Angeles.  It's a warm, wood paneled room, with plush cushions to melt into, framed vintage portraits on the walls, candlelight and a huge bouquet of white roses on the bar.  Next time dinner too!  But this evening we were heading to our tried and true favorite Lucques on Melrose.  We dined on the prix fix Sunday Supper and promised to be back again for this feast. Bon appétit!
