How to Score FREE Yogurtland Frozen Yogurt Today
The Best Frozen Yogurt in Town? It Just Might be Yogurt Stop in West Hollywood
Pinkberry, Menchies, Yogurtland. They're the ubiquitous Los Angeles neighborhood sweet spot. But they've got nothing in taste and uniqueness on more local operations like 21 Flavors. And better yet, Yogurt Stop in West Hollywood.
Say Goodbye to the Original Pinkberry Location as We Know it
The once overly-crowded original Pinkberry location that stirred a West Hollywood community into political action has stopped serving yogurt. Beginning today, the Santa Monica Boulevard location will begin its transformation into a "Pinkberry Support Center," or more plainly said, an "administrative space," according to the WeHo News, which breaks down the storied history of the location.

YogenFruz: From Toronto to Tarzana
When the first wave of the frozen yogurt phenom hit in the mid-80s, this LAister was a Torontonian; that was when and where the newest froyo franchise to hit the City of Angels today was born. YogenFruz started in Toronto in 1986, and has just opened their second LA location in Tarzana. To celebrate, all weekend long the new store will have a "Buy One-Get One Free" promotion going on, so grab a friend and head into the Valley to see what makes YogenFruz different from other frozen yogurt.
Last Chance to See As Far As The Eye Can See

Weiner's conceptual art show at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA ends on Monday and this weekend is your last chance to get in and see As Far As the Eye Can See before all those fancy words are stripped from the walls and floors and ceilings.
Yogurtland Tastes Delish but has Unfriendly Environs
In the earlier days of the frozen yogurt craze, Yogurtland sprung up in Fullerton in February 2006. It was a success and so more stores opened in Hollywood, Long Beach, Little Tokyo, Sherman Oaks and many other Southern California locations and one in Cupertino up north. They even opened a location in Greenwich Village in New York City with plans for Vegas, Hawaii and Texas.

A few new books are out that feature LA and they're on our radar to check out this month.

My Dirty Little Secret: I Love Pinkberry
I should hate Pinkberry for a million different reasons: what it does to neighborhoods, the mom & pops it shuts down in its wake, its fake-yogurty ingredients that are likely very, very bad for me and its off-putting, sour flavor that foodies abhor and I, strangely, adore. I know and I agree and I held out as long as I could.
