"Turns out the only way to get your child to listen to anything you say is to put them at a table with career-driven plastic dolls. Good news is, the American Girl Cafe exists. Located on the second floor of a giant toy emporium at the Westfield Century City, this pastel pink-colored cafe is the ideal place to keep your offspring entertained while you dissociate from your body for 90 minutes. Is the food amazing? Of course not. But for $27 you get a multi-course extravaganza of soft drinks, cinnamon rolls, a three-tiered High Tea stand filled with fruit skewers, cucumber and cheese bites, meatballs, and toasted ravioli, an entree of your choice, and dessert. That’s a value even stuck-up Samantha would approve of." - brant cox
