Spotlight: Where to flirt in Hollywood

I’ve said it before, it’s hard flirting in Hollywood…

There are just too many Hollywood scenesters, wanna-be models, and actors. I’ll let you in on a secret about LA…..People find each other through networking, working at a job, and life experience. Not necessarily at scenesters venues. 

Still, if you are interested in a little harmless flirting then I recommend…

Tropicana at the Roosevelt Hotel

7000 Hollywood Blvd
Hollywood, CA 90028

On a sunny weekend afternoon, Tropicana is popping with hipsters, scenesters, and industry folk ready for a cocktail and a quick dip in the pool. Unchanged from its 1940s glam Hollywood layout, the place is said to be haunted by the ghosts of former hotel guests Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift. Don’t worry about too much about that though, enjoy lounging by the poolside while you sip your drink and listen to great music. Don’t forget your bikini and high heals. Someone is bound to approach before the day is over…

Hotel Cafe

1623½ N. Cahuenga Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028

Not feeling the scenester crowd? On a Friday night, check out a local favorite musician playing at the Hotel Cafe. That way you can hit on hot guys who like the same kind of music. You can never go wrong with, “How did you hear about the band?”

Drais

6250 Hollywood Blvd
12th Fl
Los Angeles, CA 90028

If you’re into scoring hot chicks at nightclubs, than I recommend Drais. There’s something about the layout of the place… Drais hosts top of the line cliental but the bar is just as accessible as the VIP area. Outside there is gorgeous patio and pool with a panoramic view of the city. It’s not easy to get in and it costs a pretty penny to book a table. Hit up The Colony on Cahuenga if you’re looking for something a bit more accessible.

This is my list and I will admit, I am a Hollywood Beezy at it’s worst. Let me know where you guys like to flirt in other parts of town…

La vie nocturne à Paris.

Rules for getting wasted in Paris.

1. Pre-game with a bottle of wine - Drinks at a nightclub can be from 15-20 euros a pop, which can tally up to quite a bill. Pre-gaming will loosen everyone up for the long, cold metro ride to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Palais Royal Musée du Louvre, or wherever you choose to party. (Plus your heals won’t hurt so bad).
2. Check in your coat - Even if you have a table, don’t leave your coat laying around, especially if you’re keys and wallet are in your pocket.
3. Set aside cab money - While the ideal night includes going home when the metro opens, it’s best to set aside some cab money just incase someone gets too drunk, the club is awful, or your just too tired.
4. Don’t accept drinks from men – When a man buys you a drink, you’re stuck with him for the night. Remember to only accept the drink you poured yourself.
5. Stick with your girlfriends - The night ends up so much better (and safer) if you’ve brought your best friends.
6. End the night on stage with the band- that is you’re ultimate goal. Begin by slipping into the VIP lounge if you don’t already have a table. Dance on the couches, eventually the party on stage will let you on.

The best nights at dawn when the metro opens after dancing all night on stage. Let loose and have fun, it’s Paris.
