"Culver City’s hip boutique hotel, the Palihotel, is an excellent place for a daytime rendezvous. Slip into the French bistro-style digs replete with charming courtyard and order up something day-drinkable and refreshing like Grey Goose and soda, flavored with either watermelon, lemongrass, or birch — a true upgrade to your usual vodka and soda. You won’t go hungry with a menu of French favorites including a nicoise salad, moules frites, and profiteroles." - Marcy Franklin
