Labor Day Fun


So you are in town for Labor Day and you thought you may be in the Hampton's, or Cabo, or somewhere other than LA in this epic heat wave. Well, guess what, you are going to have a great weekend and you really don't need to spend the time or money traveling because there is so much fun to be had in our city, or any city. Here are some tips for a weekend of relaxation and fun:

Hit the beach. Malibu is my favorite because I stop at the new Lumber Yard for a little shopping and the Cross Creek restaurants for a little food. Top of my list: the to-go window at Tra Di Noi with fresh salads and D'Mores Pizza which is totally figure friendly and so freakin good.

Go to a hotel pool. Hotel's with great pools usually attract a great crowd. Make restaurant reservations if you are worried about getting hassled. Top hotel pools in LA this weekend: The Mondrian, W, The Thompson, The Beverly Hills Hotel.

Have a BBQ or a Potluck. Invite a handful of friends over and have plenty of wine and beer. Tell everyone to bring something yummy to eat. Make dessert interactive and melt some some chocolate in a pot, and serve cut up fresh fruit, angel food cake, and pretzels, for a quick fondue. For entertainment have a sports game on, pull out some board games, a deck of cards and some throw away cameras.

White party. Do you live in a major city? Chances are there is a white party going on because it is Labor Day weekend and the last official weekend to wear white. If you live in LA I'll tell you that The Mondrian's white party is pure white fun.
