What could define the luxury life better than a getaway to Los Angeles? Like Paris, it’s just always a good idea. And especially now, when there are so many things going on that you’ll be hard-pressed to decide which ones should make your short list. Team Dandelion Chandelier blew through town a few weeks ago, and we’re sharing our field report on what’s new and not-to-be-missed right now in LA.

Our LA Luxury series covers a number of pressing matters:

  • Where’s the best place to stay in Beverly Hills? (We vote for the Beverly Wilshire).
  • Is Rodeo Drive still one of the world’s great shopping streets?
  • What’s it like to talk with award-winning playwright and actress Anna Deavere Smith at the site of one of her interviews for the groundbreaking work Twilight Los Angeles 1992, twenty-five years later? (Short answer: totally thrilling).
  • What is Anna Deavere Smith reading right now? (Teaser: It will surprise you).
  • Does Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror exhibit really live up to the hype?
  • Visiting The Broad museum of contemporary art takes either a lot of effort or some really good inside connections – is it worth it?
  • Where should one begin exploring the epic Southern California 70+-museum exhibit “Pacific Standard Time:LA/LA Latin American & Latino Art in LA?”
  • Which restaurant in Beverly Hills is conducting transformative vegetable alchemy?
  • Can a steak house actually have a feminine side?
  • What do Beverly Hills insiders rank as the 10 essential activities for luxury travelers visiting LA?

Grab your sunnies and your favorite bag, and let’s go! LA is calling.
