Obsession of the Moment: 8 yr-old Sophia Grace and Rosie sing “Super Bass” w Nicki Minaj on Ellen Show

Where in LA am I? Test Your LA Knowledge … !


I am a semi-secret. I reside in Disneyland. I was the green room for the cast during the park scenes in the Tom Hanks film “That Thing You Do”. Any good Disneyland guide will be able to make a reservation for non-members. If they can’t, you hired the wrong person.

The restaurant is located within the Pirates of the Carribean ride and the entrance is somewhat to the left when you exit the ride. The door is designed to look like a facade (not a real door) and is painted a color the park thought would be un-noticeable. If you do not have a reservation, they will not answer your call on the secret buzzer.

Where am I?!

Obsession of the Moment: “Pinterest”

Don’t know what “Pinterest” is? If Facebook and Tumbrl had a love-child, this is what it would look like. We love Pinterest! And so should you! So damn easy to use and solves the problem of “I like it, but I’m not sure I really want to take the time to upload it to facebook or blog about it” …. This is because of their “PIN IT” button that will live at the top of your browser (Chrome users must “display bookmarks” to add it in) and will turn any web page you look at it into a series of “pins” for you to “pin.” You can also “re-pin” from other people’s “pin boards” and upload pins from your desktop.

Check out who has been “pinning” The Daily Trufffe HERE and Happy Pinning!! xoxo The Daily Truffle PS - New users will have to request an invite or we can help you get one.

3rd Annual LA ‘Haunted Hayride’ – VIP preview

The Indian summer we are all experiencing may not be a signifier that we have crept into fall but I have to remind you its that time of year again when tikes put on cute little costumes and go door to door asking for candy. Consequently, the city also opens up it’s imagination and prepares to scare you at Griffith Park for this years 3rd Annual Los Angeles Haunted Hayride at the Griffith Park Old Zoo.

I went to attend the opening VIP event and had an incredible time exploring all it had to offer. Goblins, ghouls, and men with chain saws were everywhere, but whose NOT afraid of the boogey man? Krysten Ritter, Nikki Reed, Thomas Dekker, Gillian Zinser, Greer Grammer, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell and Keegan Allen from Pretty Little Liars, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Christopher Mintz Plasse, Chris Colfer, Genie Fitzgerald, Lindsey Lerman, Shameless’ Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Shahi, George Kotsiopoulos, and many more!

A couple weekend suggestions … Los Angeles Haunted Hayride, DineLA aka ‘Restaurant Week’, and Veuve Clicquot’s Annual Polo Tourney

Annual Los Angeles Haunted Hayride (Thursdays through Sundays between Oct 7 and Oct 31) at Griffith Park’s Old Zoo – Back for its third year, with VIP night this Sunday, the month long haunted attraction invites guests to “Step Into Our Nightmare.”  With the unprecedented amount of media and celebrity attendance in previous years, Los Angeles Haunted Hayride has upped the ante with this new program, which will be creepier than ever before. HAYRIDE WEBSITE HERE.

Annual DineLA week (October 2 – 7, and 9 – 14) – Our friends working on DineLA, loosely called “Restaurant Week,” have a few key restaurants participating this year and for a fixed rate of $44 you can basically have a dinner worth double the price – Some some Truffle suggestions (some new,  some old) include Mr. C Hotel Restaurant, Fig & Olive, and Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood. Lower prices points and lunch deals are offered too. FULL LISTING ON THE DINE LA WEBSITE HERE.

Veuve Clicquot Annual Polo Tourney at Will Rogers in the Palisades  (Sunday, October 9) - Invited guests are welcomed into a tent with couches and champagne where some of the world’s most interesting polo players come and mingle between ‘chukkers’ (aka timed periods of play, like an inning). In true Will Rogers spirit, who hosts regular club polo matches on the weekends most of the year, anyone wanting to attend is welcome - Veuve Clicquot will provide picnic style blankets and umbrellas, some bleacher seating, photo booths, food trucks and tented areas where they will sell flutes and bottles of champagne, sun hats and other paraphernalia.
