London is known for nothing if not its afternoon tea. So this summer during the
London 2012 Games we made sure that we did as the Londoners do and included a proper tea in our Olympic Games.

Life of a Rock Star™ editor Nicole Hanratty was absolutely thrilled to be invited to a cooking demonstration put on by
AGA and Visit Britain in the stunning gourmet cooking store Divertimenti in the heart of the finest shopping in town on Brompton Road. Divertimenti is the ultimate shop for foodies and also incorporates a Cookery School in the middle of an inspirational AGA showroom. Read More...

Malibu Beach Inn is the Place to Lunch in Malibu

Put me at a table against a glass partition that gives me an unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean and you have an instant fan. While the company was paramount, Malibu Beach Inn is the type of restaurant I could relax at all day long even if I was alone. The waves crash underneath you and the sun warms your soul. Malibu weather in the middle of September is unbeatable and an afternoon at this friendly relaxed yet fine dining resort restaurant is everything the doctor ordered all rolled up into a healthy meal.

Editor, Nicole Hanratty

Four Seasons Las Vegas is the way to do Vegas. On top of the Mandalay Bay, the Four Seasons offers a spa like retreat in the middle of the city that plays 24 hours a day. The best of everything, the Four Seasons has everything your heart desires.

While they pool attendants hand you a menu upon arrival to the relaxing misted lounge chair filled oasis, the wonderful kitchen will make you just about whatever your heart desires. They accommodated my every request, both mood inspired cravings and food allergies.

Restaurant Review by @LifeofaRockStar

How could we not hit Serendipity 3 at Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas for the Fall 2012 Restaurant Week? Home to the most divine and legendary Frozen Hot Chocolate, this beverage boasts a blended up flurry of twenty (20) different kinds of chocolate! We’ve had it in New York and we were certain not to miss it on this trip either.
