The Holiday season is here! If you are looking to get into the spirit, head to Severance Wine Bar in West Hollywood for their Office Holiday Party Pop Up, inspired by everything from Planes, Trains, & Automobiles to The Office. Drinking Champagne and Sherry based cocktails, eating some sweets while surrounded by tacky holiday decorations make the Severance Office Holiday Party Pop Up the Please The Palate pick of the week. Owner Evan Charest was laid off from a tech job on Christmas Eve in 2017. In 2018, he opened Severance Wine Bar with the severance money he received. And here we are at Christmas time again, so what is better than drinking cocktails inspired by the one of the worst yet funniest workplaces, Dunder Mifflin. Through the month of December, the space next to Severance Wine Bar on Melrose Avenue has been converted into a tacky office holiday pop-up. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, for $20++, you will get a complimentary cocktail or a sparkling wine flight. So get into the holiday spirit! The cocktail offerings are all Champagne and Sherry based. Each is named after a Christmas themed movie that will test your trivia knowledge.

Money. It is a subject that we are taught not to talk about. We are not supposed to ask how much someone makes and then we learn that women make less than men. We, women, that is, are all the more unaccustomed to speaking about money. It can be an uncomfortable topic but three self-made entrepreneurial women are trying to change that. They have created Stacks House, a pop-up with a purpose, and it is the Please The Palate pick of the week.

As a small business owner, it can be challenging. Over almost eight years of owning my own business, I have learned a lot. I have had a lot of support and am lucky to be surrounded by family and friends who have given advice. I have felt fortunate to have a few women friends who also own their own businesses who have offered me advice and guidance along the way, and I have tried to do the same for others as well.
