leighj's fave Wedgewood Boutique Hotel is at Wedgewood Hotel because One needs to experience the fine art of indulgence!!!! This hotel offers impeccable service at every step, beautiful rooms with full balconies, romantic views of the city and mountains, giant, 4-poster beds, tubs built for 2, robes, slippers, an eucalyptus steam room, and state-of-the-art dining at Bacchus. It's an ideal, one-night retreat for a romantic night away from it all, but close to home. Prices, too, are incredible value. For best results, go with someone you really like, and linger.

leighj's fave blue fig martini is at Chambar

leighj's fave blue fig martini is at Chambar because it's the coolest cocktail around, to be slowly sipped and enjoyed in equally cool environs. Imagine icy-cold, frozen-fig infused vodka, served with a tiny side of fromage bleu (isn't french sophistocated?). Your server (ours was divine!) will advise you to alternate sips with tiny spoonfuls, and the flavors are so complementary. Cocktails average between $9 and 11, and the place isn't cheap, but well worth the expense for a decadent night out with friends. Ask about the Earl Grey martini! Mmm.
