Sneak Peek into Wild, Wonderful La La Land Events

(Gerry Furth-Sides)  Two events on May 6th present wildly creative, unusual sides of Los Angeles in private events open to the public.  They allow guests entrance to private venues otherwise closed to the outside world.

The 2018 Taste of the World presents the fourth annual event culinary, wine and spirits extravaganza held at the legendary Paramour Estate in Silverlake on May 6th.
