THE GARDENS AT GREYSTONE MANSION

/

Mila and I recently spent a morning exploring the gardens at Greystone Mansion. It reminded me so much of my childhood, as Twink and I both went to summer camp there as kids. It's kind of unreal that this place exists in LA. In my ongoing quest to find a European garden in Southern California, I'm grateful to have rediscovered this gem.

How incredible are these cypress trees?

Perfect fountain on a hot day.

So much fun exploring.

Greystone Park is located at: 905 Loma Vista Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Admission to the grounds and parking are free. Hours are 10am - 5pm (6pm during daylight savings) seven days a week. 

Mia's dress is from Tutu Du Monde via Thumbeline. 

OUR FAVORITE FRIDAY NIGHT HAUNT: SOUTH BEVERLY GRILL

/

We first learned of the great Hillstone Group with R&D Kitchen in Santa Monica. You may have seen Sissy's recent post on The Honor Bar, Montecito. We are kind of obsessed. These guys just KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BURGER. I'm not sure if there's one I like better. Hillstone has mastered the art of adult and kid-friendly, upscale comfort food. And it turns out, that more often than not, Jason and I want to go to their Beverly Hills location - South Beverly Grill, on most Friday nights. It's upscale and beautiful inside but totally kid friendly. And did I mention that they make damn good burgers?! If you are looking for seriously good baby back ribs, they make some delicious ones too. South Beverly Grill also offers a special sushi menu that their other locations do not.

I love the moody decor. Yet it's a very family-friendly place.

Table for 1? You can pull up a stool and enjoy your meal at the pretty bar.

We love piling into a big red booth and "trapping" Brixton in. Hehe.

Sushi is made-to-order at their sushi bar.

Spicy Tuna Roll with jicama and fresh wasabi.

Thai Steak and Noodle Salad

Cheeseburger and Fries. Yes, please.

South Beverly Grill is located at:

122 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills

Happy Friday! xx
