West Hollywood CA: Connie & Ted’s Great Seafood |
 |
 |
 |
|
Thumbs up! Eat up! If you’re traveling in Hollywood or anywhere else in the Los Angeles area, make a stop at this great New England-style seafood house. Your travel4seniors.com editors dine there frequently, and always enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner.
The cafe’s Santa Monica Boulevard branch on famed Route 66 is about 20 miles from the beaches of Santa Monica. The stylish indoor and outdoor dining areas are surrounded by reminders of the New England theme, including photos and posters of familiar seafood specialties.
The lunch menu includes a a raw seafood bar, as well as great variety of clams, oysters, scallops, lobster, crab and other ocean delicacies. On our most recent visit, we were there for lunch. It began and continued with excellent service and friendly attitude by the restaurant staff.
We chose two cold platter specialties: wild white Mexican shrimp and Cobb salads, as well as a side bowl of baked macaroni and cheese. After the delicious lunch, for dessert, we shared a generous slice of Bourbon pecan pie, a sweet, slightly boozy conclusion to a great meal.
The lunch bill for two was about $70. Connie & Ted’s is at 8171 Santa Monica Bvd., West Hollywood CA 90046, www.connieandteds.com

Yahoo Travel Editor: Visit Beautiful Afghanistan? |
|
|
|
We regularly enjoy Yahoo, especially its excellent travel coverage. However, we must strongly disagree with a recent article advocating travel in Afghanistan.
We can only guess the reason for Yahoo’s positive attitude is that the U.S. has officially announced pulling its troops out of the country. The website’s implication is that Afghanistan is now a safe and peaceful destination for Western travelers.

Scam Of The Week: Phony Hotel Front Desk Call |
|
|
|
|
You’re just settling down in your hotel room when the phone rings. The caller says the hotel computer has crashed, and to redo the paperwork, they need you to give your credit card number immediately.
Do not comply! Hang up and call the front desk for confirmation. You may find it was a scam to hack your bank or credit card account. This is a growing illegal business originating in China, Africa and the Middle East. Some of the phony calls originate from prisons where the inmates work from smuggled cell phones.
Rooms full of callers work the phones constantly with the phony messages. When they succeed in getting IDs, they’re able to quickly hack the bank accounts and make illegal withdrawals before the owners can react.
