View/Escape lounge at the Manhattan Marriott [RESTAURANT REVIEW]

By Richard Foss / October 11, 2013

When I suggested to my wife that we have dinner at the Marriott in Manhattan Beach, I had to remind her where it is. You would think a six-story hotel would be a hard thing to lose, but the location behind other buildings a block off Rosecrans doesn’t exactly stand out. Until recently, the food…

Money on the table: success and failure in the emerging South Bay restaurant scene

By Richard Foss / June 27, 2013

Fifteen years ago, the South Bay barely registered on the regional dining scene.

North End

By Kevin Cody / July 1, 2010
