Last days in L.A. were spent around the hotel area. For those of you interested, I highly recommend the Orlando hotel (on west 3rd street). They have impeccable service; the rooms are spacious and clean; the location is amazing whether you have a car or you're taking public transportation; plus, I like how the location is less touristy than the Hollywood area. 

That day, I grabbed lunch and dessert at Little Next Door. I also did some last minute shopping around the Grove and Beverly Centre (took a photo of whats-in-my-handbag whilst here in LA) . That night, I grabbed a quick mexican taco dinner and went to bed right away for my early flight back home the following day.

This day was spent around the Beverly Grove area since I was checking-in in a hotel nearby. I met up with an old high school friend for lunch at Pampas Grill, a Brazilian buffet located at the Farmer's Market. We stopped by the Grove and saw a live taping of Extra with Mario Lopez and Maria Menounos. Also for the first time, I was able to step inside a Trader Joe's and unfortunately wasn't able to find any Speculoos Cookie Butter (except for that chocolate bar). For dinner that night, we dined at Morels which was a French bistro located at the Grove.
