Friends ~

December, the final month of the year, holds a special place in my heart.  Though it can be dreary weather-wise (not as much in California), to me it’s always been a magical month of crisp twilights and celebrations.  With my birthday and Christmas on the same day, I reflect on the past and look to the new in both age and calendar year.

This month in New & Interesting, I share a new-ish burger joint downtown, Custom Burger Lounge.  Night on the Town I present ideas for food, film and explorations in Japantown. In Wandering Traveler, we explore Lake Como, Italy.

I’d love your feedback on any spots you visited from my site.  You can leave comments through the site on the Perfect Spot Blog or email me directly.

Let me guide you to the perfect spot!
