Where You're Eating: Rustic Burger
Why: Nothing says Spring like fresh, handmade burgers, craft beer and outdoor patio seating. The burger selections are outstanding, offering a myriad tantalizing toppings that range from chili to blue cheese to kimchi. Not craving red meat? They also offer tofu, shrimp and salmon burgers. Avoiding carbs? Rustic Burger's culinary magicians will turn that burger of yours into a salad. 254-1300

Where You're Eating: Marston's Restaurant
Why: Their daily specials are off the charts, or, more specifically, off the chalk board. Check out the deliciousness of the day upon your entry for the freshest finds. We're loving the Parmesan-crusted Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is warm and rich (We like our mac like we like our spouses!). 253-9910

Where You're Eating: Rustic Eatery
Why: These guys bake their artisanal breads and slow roast their meats in a brick oven; they're like your cool hipster neighbors, except they don't have beards and they actually like you. But enough about "like." Let's talk about love, as in, you're gonna love their three-selection menu format. Pick your Style (sandwich, salad, rice bowl or plate), Protein (beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or tofu) and Marinade (naked, spicy or Yakiniku) and you're done. 254-8100



Where You Are Going: Pacific Coast Highway
What You Are Driving: The 2016 Audi Q7
Why You'll Love It: The Audi Q7 boasts new technology that includes Audi pre-sense city, vehicle exit assist and adaptive cruise control. With the 2017 model offering a 3.0 liter TFSI supercharged V6 capable of 333 horsepower, those green lights can't flash fast enough. And all the while you're relaxing in the 12-way power front seats with four-way lumbar support and drive seat memory that guarantee your comfort for every ride.
Where You Can Get One: Audi Valencia 877-743-0523

Where You Are Going: Hollywood
What You Are Driving: 2016 Acura ILX
Why You're Gonna Love It: Drive with confidence knowing that the ILX received a 5 Star Safety Rating thanks to features like a multi-view rear camera, six airbags, 4-wheel anti-lock braking system, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control and motion adaptive steering and an expanded-view driver's mirror. And since you're braving L.A. traffic to get to Hollywood, you'll need the ILX's Acura Navigation System with 3D view to get you there with AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic. Bumper to bumper will have nothin' on you, though, since you can get lost (Figuratively, thanks to your Nav!) in the crisp sound coming from the 10 speakers in your ElS Studio Premium Audio System. When you make your entrance in the Acura ILX, you will arrive safely, relaxed - and in style.
Where You Can Get One: Valencia Acura 255-3000

Where You are Going: Las Vegas
What You are Driving: FIAT 500E
Why You're Gonna Love It: Leasing for only $99 a month - plus a $2,500 cash rebate from the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project - means you'll have a lot more money to spend at the craps table or at an Elvis wedding. And even if you're running on fumes, your FIAT 500E won't be, because it's electric. That's right - insanely affordable and you're saving money at the pump. It also doesn't hurt that you get to fly through that L.A. traffic in the carpool lane because you've made the choice to "go electric."
Where You Can Get One: Van Nuys FIAT 888-370-6539


What You Chose: March Madness Sweet 16 Bracket

What You Chose: To plan a party
And Where: Salt Creek Grille
And Why: Whatever the occasion, Salt Creek Grille's sophisticated, warm, classic restaurant is where to celebrate it - and now it's easier than ever with three enticing on-site options and a off-site catering list that wows. If you're digging a private scene, Salt Creek's Valencia Room is ideal. It has a 60-inch flat-screen HD TV perfect for any audio/visual tribute presentations or to show the Laker game. With spring in the air, go outside to the heated patio; it's spacious, inviting and enclosed for kid-friendly corralling. And who can resist the Lounge - featuring beautiful Craftsman-style architecture, rich woods and turn-of-the-century building style? Nobody, that's who. But it's 2016. Go big or go home, right? So throw the party at your own digs and order from Salt Creek's amazing new easy-to-customize catering menu, which features everything from Domestic Cheese & Charcuterie Platters to BBQ Baby Back Ribs and Cheesecake Bites. 222-9999
