Good question. I’ve had the same set of kitchen knives for many years and I know I need a couple sharpened (ok, so I don’t cook that much, but still…)
Here are a some great places you can take your knives to:
Ross Cutlery – downtown
Gary’s Knife Sharpening Service – check website for farmers market locations where you can find him (Beverly Hills to Culver City).
But hey, here is the really great news! Bristol Farms will do it for free and while you wait! Yay! They will do up to 5 knives at a time (straight-edged knives). Call ahead to make sure the service is available at your local store – and that there’s no line.
I love giving gift certificates to Arclight – you can pick them up at the Sherman Oaks or Hollywood locations.
OR…I just read that director, Werner Herzog is signing copies of the English version of “Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo.” Now this would be a super gift for the true film aficionado!! 5pm Saturday night.http://www.booksoup.com/
This weekend at The Grove from 12pm to 5pm they are performances from all six of the Cirque du Soleil shows – add lunch and that’s a treat!!
I also love going to Color Me Mine for some pottery painting or head to Fashionology to design a cute dress or t-shirt – loads of fun!

The city views from the park were just gorgeous, truly some of the best I’ve ever seen. We brought blankets, food for a picnic, kicked off our….. click here to read more
