Last night I got to reminisce about the day I got engaged 5 years ago in that glowing blue building. I was 22, madly in love, but didn't know what marriage meant at the time. Along the way, some friends divorced and showed us meaningful vows can dissolve. I feel so lucky and fortunate. The lyrics I shared on our wedding day still hold true today. In the words of India arie, he's "a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respects the spirit world, and thinks with his heart." All that I could ever want and more. 😙😍😚😗 #aboutbumpintoreality #engagementstory #backintheday #ritzcarlton #wp24 #losangeles (at Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles)

WP24 @ Ritz-Carlton L.A. Live, Downtown

This past Sunday, September 16th, was my 24th birthday, and my other half took me to WP24, the Wolfgang Puck restaurant on the 24th floor (no kidding) of the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles at L.A. Live. Let me start off by saying that I really like L.A. Live. It's fun. Okay, I've never been to a Lakers or Kings game at the Staples Center, or an event at the Nokia Center, but I have enjoyed walking around there and looking at the pretty lights and screens and going to the movies at Regal Cinemas. (It probably my favorite movie theater in Los Angeles). It has giant theater with two floors that's best in, well, Hollywoodland, is usually not crowded, and has a student discount. Look for free street parking on the other side of Olympic, but do yourself a favor and pick another movie theater if the Lakers are playing.

So let me backtrack, this post is about WP24. The restaurant had a fixed menu, although there were no menus. So basically, we could have just sat down and had them bring us the three-course meal without a server even coming to the table. I am not going to try to rate this restaurant. To me, the whole fancy-dining experience is pretty awkward. I'd prefer if the waitstaff didn't call me "sir" after every sentence. Again, I'm no food critic, so I'll just say the food was very tasty. I would describe it as "modern Chinese" or "asian fusion." But truthfully, I was not paying attention to the food or anything else inside the restaurant, but rather, the amazing view. This is the best view of downtown I have ever seen! Yes, there are some great vistas from Chinatown and Elysian Park (even a few over Dodger's Stadium), but here it felt as if I were eye-level with the Skyscrapers. I will save my rant about my thoughts on downtown LA for another entry, but I just want to say that it looks pretty sublime from the 24th floor. The view spans from the Hollywood Hills in the northeast across my neighborhood, over the 110 freeway just east of the 10/110 interchange, downtown and the financial district, L.A. live, and the neighborhoods west and southwest of downtown. We spent about 15 minutes after finishing our meal obnoxiously walking around the restaurant, snapping photos, and commenting on the view from above. See Photos below:
