Who says Santa Clarita goes to bed early? (Ok, you do most nights of the week. But now there's reason to make an exception!). Continue the magic of the evening with the new Late Night Happy Hour every Friday and Saturday night on the heated patio of Salt Creek Grille. From 10pm to close, enjoy three new scrumptious treats from the brilliant mind of Pastry Chef Kristina Waggoner. Choose from the Coconut Lime Cheesecake, a velvety lime cheesecake with a lime zest graham cracker crust topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut; Red Velvet Layered Cake, a tall layered cake with a Layer of Traditional New York-style cheesecake between two layers of red velvet cake topped with cream cheese frosting; and our fave, the S'Mores Cake.

Smart, sporty, sexy. Doesn't that sum up how many would like the world to see us? While it may or may not be attainable in the flesh, it certainly is within our reach with the car we drive. Actually, the car we drive is not only a personal choice but often a professional one. Image plays into the decision, as does the professional reputation we want to project. Maybe it's a family car, luxury sedan or sporty coupe that best fits our lifestyle and work needs. If the persona to embody is prestige, you're in luck.

While the competition was notably fierce, the 2017 Acura NSX has been named Business Insider's 2016 Car of the Year. Acura's NSX supercar is not only a worthy, exciting winner and a triumph for Acura, but it has also revived one of the greatest love stories in the history of the automobile. You see, the first-generation NSX - New Sportscar eXperimental - sold under the Acura luxury brand name in the US in 1990 and was a real game changer.

After 15 years, the NSX retired in 2005 and work began on its successor. Now the wait is over. With its sleek design, and generating 573 horsepower, the twin-turbocharged V-6 offers on-demand power. With traction going to all four wheels, the NSX offers endless grip around corners. And even better, Acura's decision to go with hybrid technology was sheer genius.
Ready to park one in your driveway? There's an array of stunning exterior colors to choose from but a personal favorite of ours is one fittingly named, "Valencia Red Pearl." Ready to see the NSX up close and personal? Head over to Valencia Acura. www.valenciaacura.com
