Happy Birthday ...again???

Yes, April is filled with Birthdays in our family. Tom turned 40 this month. We had a lovely time celebrating with a few friends and family. The original plan was to go for a lite dinner at The Edison then pop over to Griffith Observatory to view the planetarium show. Edison wanted $1,100 to reserve the room (yeah - so not going to happen. So we decided to visit Clifton's and then the observatory. Tom went that morning to pick up tickets and they wouldn't sell them to him...they will only sell tickets one hour before the show. As a friend pointed out 'They have turned yet one more lovely park into a government run illogical DMV experience'. Soooo plans
changed again. Final outcome: Clifton's for dinner and Wicked for those who could join us (major discount found & totally worth it!)
Lets say Clifton's is definitely worth the trip to
downtown LA - but you must experience its ambiance in a group setting. Not just for the shared opportunity but for safety too. The restaurant has been there forever, and done cafeteria style. And you
get a ton of food for the choices that you made, not to mention there was nothing tasteless and bland like so many remember from similar situations. The intent is to visit again for lunch...let us know if you would like to join us.
Wicked was awesome. Each of our wonderful guests had never been. The joy was found in watching them enjoy it and share the fun.
