Any avid tabloid reader will recognize The Ivy’s star-studded patio from the hundreds of published celebrity photos. West Hollywood’s country-chic café is a favorite haunt for Hollywood elite, who do movie deals and power breakfasts over the famed grilled vegetable salad or the blue crab omelet. The Shore’s bar is a sophisticated spot to watch the sun set and grab an Ivy gimlet, a potent concoction of vodka, mint, and lime.
