About me Originally from Havana, Cuba. I studied classical piano for 8 years, but for the craziest reasons, maybe my own tendency to always let my heart decide, I ended up as a journalist.

""The Arsenal" in Los Angeles has a speakeasy vibe, even though it's not one! It's a great place for a birthday celebration"

I’m not a nightlife type of person. I ended up at The Arsenal because it was one of my friends birthday and someone found it right in the middle of where each one of us live in Los Angeles.

To my surprise, this spot ended up being so much fun! The place has a kind of speakeasy vibe, but it's not one. How space is designed is also cool. It’s like a big living room divided by walls. That night, we were assigned a table very close to the entrance and that was no problem at all, but if next time I'm there I want a more private spot, that would also be possible, because there’s a lot of space available, depending on your mood.

I don't quite remember how the cocktails were, but what I do remember is that we ordered a margarita pizza to share and it was so yummy!

In general, it was a great place for a birthday celebration.

Why Los Angeles LA reminds me of a country in which I lived for 6 years, Mexico! When I moved here I was ready for a change, for something new, I was looking for the sun, for fun, for peace, for love. All of that, I foun...
