Izabella's Favorite Places

Studio City Farmer's Market

Ventura Pl & Ventura Blvd Studio City, CA 91604, United States

Every Sunday you can pick up fresh produce and enjoy the walk. Make sure to stop by the olive oil/ balsamic vinegar stand- Uncle Berch will hook you up.

Maxfields

8825 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90069

It's not so much about buying things there, unless you've decided that this year you're not going to feed a whole village in Africa, but instead buy a shirt at Maxfields..but more about admiring the hand picked garments and accessories from the world most interesting designers.

Warszawa

1414 Lincoln Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA 90401-2733

This is an awesome Polish restaurant. Everything on the menu is delicious and the place is filled with cool Polish Theatre Posters.

M-Cafe

7119 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90046

Super healthy vegan place. They have little bento boxes to- go, which I always pick up on my way to the airport and make everyone around me on the plane jealous.

Mr. Chow

344 N. Camden Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210

I know... it's a paparazzi hell, but the food is soooo good. The "crispy duck" is to die for... if only you could use the back door all the time, so nobody can witness your expanding waistline.

Nozawa Sushi

11288 Ventura Blvd Ste C, Studio City, CA 91604-3149

The best sushi in town. You don't look at the menu, you just order "trust me" which means, the chef gives you his choices and yes- you quickly learn to trust him, because he knows his fish. Don't even think of bringing in your cell phone, you will be put on a black list forever.

Little Door

8164 West 3rd Street, CA 90048

So romantic... and French. I feel like a princess at that place.

The Gardens of Taxco

1113 N. Harper Ave. West Hollywod, CA

Mexican at it's best. I'm a sucker for those guys that come to your table, play guitar and sing to you.okay maybe it's the margaritas talking...

The Reel Inn

18661 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265

After an exhausting day of surfing in Malibu (Ok, you got me... I've only got on the board once in my life...), you stop by for the freshest "catch of the day" and some beer... the fireplace and the long wooden tables set the atmosphere.

Bay Shore Lanes

234 Pico Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405

Bowling, bowling and bowling. Super fun place... just don't try to get on the lanes in heels like I did, the security guy will kick your butt... it still hurts... aaaa... the price for trying to look fabulous 24/7...

Venice Beach

1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291

One of my favorite places in LA, there's so many fun things to do here. Just rent some rollerblades or a bike and hit the bike path that's right in the middle of the beach, you will come across the most colorful people. Watch the street performers or join the Sunday night, drums and dance party on the beach and let loose...

Edge

1020 Cole Ave. Hollywood, CA 90038

Dance studio where you can mix with the pros and total beginners. It's pretty hardcore, but it's an escape for the soul.

S-Factor

5225 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036

Every girl dreams to get on a pole one day and feel the power that comes with it. Pole dancing is an amazing workout and I just love to spin myself around into an oblivion.

Pho-Siam Thai Massage

1525 Pizzarro St. Los Angeles, CA 90026

These Thai massages are great. The masseuses walk on your back and stretch you until you can twist like a pretzel... Super relaxing and super cheap.

Foley and Corrina

114 Stanton Street, Ny, NY 10002

A vintage Gucci bag for a $100. Need I say more?

You'll find here anything that your dog needs to be cool and keep up with the latest fashions.

H&M

505 5th Ave, NY, NY 10017

Here I buy all my hair accessories. They're cheap and original, but you'll need a lot of patience for mile long lines.

Flight 001

96 Greenwich Avenue, New York, NY 10011

Everything you need for a long trip, short trip, good trip or a bad trip. I'm crazy about little travel size anything and they have it all: little candles, vitamin dispensers, alarm clocks and my all time favorite- anti-snoring device for the fat guy sitting in the next seat.

Chuckies

1073 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10065

A very, very expensive habit. Shoes, shoes and more shoes!

Aromatix

1169 Second Ave, New York, NY 10021

This store is the reason why my house smells so nice. Candles, aromatherapy oils, bath salts, jus heaven!

Gourmet Garage

453 Broome St, New York, NY 10013

Anytime I wake up with this overwhelming urge to cook, I run to Gourmet Garage and with any luck they have it already prepared.

Zen Palate

34 Union sq E, New York, NY 10003

Cheap, fast health food. Number 8 is my favorite.

Veselka

144 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003

A polish coffee shop 24/7 makes me feel almost like I dropped for a lunch at my mom's.

Terramare

744 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10065

Best sandwiches in town, especially tana sandwich. They get extra points for letting my doggie Layla dine with me at my table!

Sushi Seki

The people at this place are so lovely. Make sure to sit at the bar and try "chopped eel+ avocado sushi" it rocks!

Tenjune

26 Little West 12th street, NY, NY 10014

It is possible that this place is too cool for me.Hot! Hot! Hot! Just the thought of this place makes my feet dance.

Chelsea Piers

23rd St & the Hudson River, New York, NY 10011

This place is super fun! You can play here, any sport you can imagine! I get so excited when I go there, I hyperventilate! That's were I did my trapeze training for Bye-Bye Blackbird.

Our names is Mud

59 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10014

Here I "create". I sit for hours and paint different pots, vases and bowls. Some people call it pottery I call it "workout for the imagination"

Sway

305 Spring St, New York, NY 10013

Call it a lounge, call it a club. Every night is a Saturday night.

PolaLa

Solec 85, 00-382 Warsaw

This designer makes the most amazing purses and bags. They're one of a kind and each one has a special original touch. I have an illegal amount of her bags... shush, don't tell anyone.

Bazar Staroci na Kole

Ul. Obozowa, róg ul. Ciolka, Warszawa

Vintage hat, a mirror in a golden frame or your grandpa's violin. You can dive into these hidden treasures; you never know what you will find.

Bristol Hotel

Krakowskie Przedmieście 42/44, 00-325 Warsaw

Built in 1901 this hotel makes you feel so Royal. Although expensive, this is by far the best hotel in Warsaw.you feel the history as you walk through these halls, all you see is the awe-inspiring architecture from the 16th century. It overlooks the Presidential Palace!

The Glory to Sappers Monument Park

Róg Wilanowskiej i Czerniakowskiej, Warsaw

I love this park, because it's my childhood. I used to go there to write my poetry, fall in love and find the deeper meaning of live at a tender age of 10. This is the park where I rode my bike for the first time, now my little niece took over.

Melodia - Klub

ul. Nowy Swiat 3/5, Warszawa

I have a soft spot for this place, because I spent one of my birthdays there and it was a surprise party with all my family and friends. They made it very memorable...

Ego

al. W. Witosa 31, 00-710 Warszawa

This is a gym like no other... It's very private, so very few witness my whining, but they have an amazing workout-diet plan. They make meals tailored just for you (super yummy) so you get the right ratio of everything. Christopher kicks your butt and makes you swallow a bunch of supplements that will make your skin glow! I sometimes fly from LA just have them get me into tip-top shape.

Courtyard Theatres in Frascati Gardens

Park Rydza ŚŒmigłego na tyłach Teatru Buffo

Theater and booze. Soccer games on giant screens and live classical music concerts. Outdoor paradise for college students... all free of charge. During the summer it's great to ride your bicycle there and bring your dog along.

Papu

Al. Niepodległości 132/136, Warszawa

The food is spectacular, the ambiance charming and the service outstanding. They give you those cute bibs when you order the dishes where you cook your own food on a hot stone. So much fun.

Blikle

ul. Nowy Swiat 33, Warszawa

They've been making desserts since 1869! There's something to it... The doughnuts are insanely delicious... A must!

Boathouse Restaurant & Bar

Wał Międzeszyński 389A, Warszawa

Mediterranean cuisine on the banks of the Vistula river. Mussels with Gorgonzola in Vermouth cream paired with a good wine and a warm chocolate cake to finish. Nuff said...

Same Fusy

Ul. Nowomiejska 10, Warszawa

A tea house with a soul. Located down in the old cellars, right in the middle of the Old Town. Instead of stools-drums... The tea is served in the cutest teapots. The "zenned out" service and peaceful music makes you enter another realm. Of course the assortment of teas is out of this world. Smokers- not allowed

Nobu

105 Hudson St, New York, NY 10013

After tasting the "Miso Glazed Black Cod" I immediately applied for the US citizenship.

Candle Cafe

1307 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10021

I wish this chef would move in with me. The most creative vegetarian meals.

York Centrum

Ul. Czerniakowska 155, Warszawa

A little moment of indulgence for my Layla. Beauty salon and a boutique. If you're looking for lacy panties and a studded collar in size XXS, you've come to the right place.

Sheesha Lounge

ul. Sienkiewicza 3, Warszawa

It's not Hollywood, it's Bollywood! You can really get into an oriental groove here, the Djs are Hindu and know the latest beats from the East. Oh, try smoking the hookah, it's super fun and healthy for a change!
