l.a. law-less
It may be the city of lost angels, but we found heaven on a recent naughty weekend in L.A.
eat
Even the carb-free, Zone-d out Los Angelenas line up for hours at Mario Batali's new Pizzeria Mozza. We fell for the thin crust fennel sausage pizza with panna and red onion ($14), salumi salami ($10), and great Italian wine list. www.mozza-la.com
drink
The young and the beautiful sip cocktails at the ultra-chic Cameo Bar tucked inside the Viceroy Santa Monica hotel. Apple green and dusky grey accent the mid-Twentieth Century English Parlor theme, and it's dark enough to allow for a side of naughty behaviour (à la L.A. starlet) with your Grey Goose bottle service. www.viceroysantamonica.com
shop
There's a new breed of boutique hitting North America en masse and Madison Los Angeles is a prime example. Think must-have haute designers like Viktor & Rolf and Dolce & Gabbana paired with cult faves like Vanessa Bruno and Geren Ford. The rocker staff and pumping DJ AM-esque music complete the ultimate la la land shopping experience. www.madisonlosangeles.com
sleep
In true L.A. fashion check you and your beau into rehab—electronic rehab that is, with the Fairmont Miramar Hotel's Electronic Rehab Weekend. Staff will help you hand over your iBook, BlackBerry and Motorola Razr and keep them locked up tight, while you enjoy some well-deserved R&R on your oceanfront balcony. Through July 31, 2007; rates from $319US. www.fairmont.com
