If you’ve never heard Ariel Pink’s music, at first it sounds like badly recorded and made mellow AM radio music made on lo-fi recording equipment. But once you realize that this reclusive Los Angeles based artist made his music in his room using only a guitar, keyboard, and an 8-track, it will blow your mind at how good he is. Joining them are The Vivian Girls and Duchess Says. What I like about Three of Cups the most is that the food is classic Italian fare like Pizza made in a wood-fired oven, risotto, pasta, while also offering more exciting dishes like lamb stew in a barolo wine reduction, served with potato gnocchi. The atmosphere is relaxing, bordering on romantic. With a name like Whiskey Ward, it’s expected that they deliver the goods, which lucky for this bar, they do. Whether it’s Scotch, Bourbon, Whiskey, or Single Malts, they got em’ along with a pool table and a damn good jukebox. Who doesn’t like cupcakes? Sugar Sweet Sunshine has one of the best in the city. With 10 different kinds, it’s hard to beat.
