The Hearth Year
- Start with a martini in the dark wood at Born & Raised's happy hour — the room sets the tone before you've ordered a thing.
- Dinner at Herb & Wood, built around the wood-burning hearth — the kind of room that makes a year feel marked.
- Slip downstairs through Craft & Commerce into False Idol — rum punch for two, and no one's watching the clock.

Her Birthday, Booked
- Open with a flight at Pali Wine Co.'s tasting bar — Santa Rita Hills pinot, an easy hour to settle into the night.
- Dinner at Juniper & Ivy, Richard Blais's kitchen — the menu reinvents itself, which is the point on a birthday.
- End sweet at Salt & Straw — the pear and blue cheese scoop is the local order, eaten walking India Street.
