Hollywood Happy Hours?

Hi,
I'm going to the COLCOA films at the Director's Guild over the weekend. Any advice on happy hours would be appreciated. We definitely walk over to the Marmont every year. We're pretty sure we're going to Yamashiro's because it's daylight savings now and that's so fun. We know Mussos has late hours now. What do other people like? Thanks in advance,
Cinephile

Christmas Drinks?

It's the bar fly again, what bars would people recommend for Christmas cheer? I found out about Varnish and 7 Grand from this list, but there are 4 bars in the 213 group. What do people think of the Broadway Bar or the Golden Gopher? What are peoples' most Christmassy bars?

LA Speakeasy

I was in San Francisco, all set to go to Bourbon and Branch ,and then all the plans changed. Can someone tell me if there is an LA version of the new speakeasy style, with the pass words and the knock 3 times and whisper low? I hear that Mark Peel is opening the Tar Pit, but is something open now? Thanks for any tips, jej

One Day, two Nights NOLA

Hello Everybody, I'll be one day, two nights in NOLA waiting for the train (not quite Jimmy Rogers, but close). I'll be down in the FQ, prolly the Des Armes, can walk anywhere. Is there a good nontouristy place for beignets and coffee; is the Cafe du Monde and good or is it just a scene? Also, do you still like Galatoire's or Arnaud's? On the website, Arnaud's reminds me of the Tadic Grill in SF, V. good place. Is Arnaud's still good? Thanks for any help. Traveler.

Georgetown Waterfront Recs

Hi, I'll be in DC for a week in September, staying near Foggy Bottom Metro. Never been before. I've been reading the posts and some people mention the "Georgetown waterfront" and another waterfront. I read the Georgetown answers to the lunch question (and laffed). What are your favorite seafood/"waterfront" restaurants in DC (what counts as waterfront)? High end--Citronelle, CityZen, etc--don't interest. Low key, easy going, good food. For high life, we'll go to the big, old bars. Thanks.

Clubby restaurants in DC?

Dear Deangold, We laffed and laffed. We "dig" you! We've been going to M&F for MANY, MANY years and eat their house salad, their bread, their ravioli and their Diplomat pudding. M&F is unique because it's possible to have an echt LA experience and still spend less than $30+drinks at the bar. I checked out the Jockey Club menu: that's serious money. The Chateau Marmont is less expensive than the Jockey Club.
