The American entrepreneur, restauranteur and television personality shares with U her 'Perfect Day' in and around Los Angeles.
Marissa is co-founder of Cadogan Hospitality Collective - with her husband Matt Hermer - which owns and operates The Draycott restaurant in The Pacific Palisades and Olivetta in West Hollywood. Marissa and Matt owned and operated London favorites Boujis nightclub, Eclipse bars, and Bumpkin restaurants.
How do you start your day?
The alarm goes off at 6.30am and with dressing, feeding and getting three tots off to school, the next hour is a fire drill of juicing celery juice (not sure if this works but I do it anyway), guzzling coffee, packing lunches and tying shoes.
Leisurely lunch places go to?
When we have friends in town visiting, Matt and I love taking them to Blue Plate Oysterette for a quintessential oceanside dining experience, The Albright on the Santa Monica Pier, or of course, The Draycott for our weekend brunch and where we can wander around Palisades Village.
Favourite way to pass the time in Los Angeles
We love taking family hikes in Mandeville Canyon where our dogs can run off the leash - or a walk up to Inspiration Point in Will Rogers. We also love riding our bikes from Santa Monica to Venice, grabbing a bite at Gjusta for lunch.
Favourite Los Angeles landmarks, and why?
A morning visit to The Broad downtown is a great way for our kids to stretch their legs and soak up some culture, followed by lunch at our favorite Otium. We also love visiting Noah’s Arc at Skirball and taking in the views at The Getty museum.
Tipple of choice and favourite cocktail hangouts?
Favourite dining destinations, and why?
Final stop for a nightcap, and why?
When we are in West Hollywood, it is always Olivetta as we love to bump into our friends and we are open until 2am, and when we are in the Palisades, The Golden Bull is always a good time.
Rest hangover remedy?
Avoid the hangover and drink a LOT of water between cocktails the night before - and before bedtime, it is coconut water which seems to help. That said, nothing is better than a Gjusta breakfast sandwich.
