Santa Monica Los Angeles

  • "You might miss this tiny storefront tucked into a nook just off Santa Monica Boulevard if you're not among the initiated--or if you come too early, as the shop doesn't open until noon. This is intentional, says owner Ray Sato, who likes the slower pace of the night crowd, among whom, he says, are students, architects, the inevitable screenwriters with laptops, also 'a lot of acupuncturists.'"

  • "Steven Steckel is such a regular that his double espresso is waiting for him when he arrives every afternoon. Breaking protocol, he has befriended other writers and can give you a rundown on everyone's projects. His reasons are selfish, he said: 'I get a lot of help from them. It's a good collaborative place. We trust each other enough not to steal ideas.'" New York Times, May 16, 2004

Culver City Los Angeles

  • "'Free Money,' a free weekly event at the Mandrake Bar in Culver City, manages to unite disparate Angeleno tribes -- galleristas, fashion victims, starving artists and the skinny jeans set -- by throwing casually outlandish theme parties. And earlier this month, the KCRW-sponsored fifth anniversary party for arts collective Create:Fixate, a bimonthly multimedia event, featured a cross-section of emerging lowbrow and fine artists, electronic musicians and purveyors of bohemian clothing and accessories, not to mention a troupe of dancing Santas." -- Los Angeles Times, December 21, 2006
