The Fig is California Casual
Vacation lovers, parents, and travel PR folk have been using Twitter to have brief interactions with each other about trips with children, favorite vacation destinations, travel deals and more. The Vacation Gals have a presence on the social-media site, of course. But an especially interesting phenomena is the “tweetup.” Tweetups are organized by groups of twitter users who are geographically close, to get together IRL (that’s, “in real life,” Mom). And, in partnership with Fairmont, the Vacation Gals site is hosting a Los Angeles tweetup on May 18, at the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica! The restaurant in the Fairmont Miramar hotel, The Fig, is usually closed on Mondays, but it will be opened on May 18 just for this fun experience.
The Vacation Gals love the Fairmont brand of hotels and resorts for many reasons; the imprimatur indicates luxury and class, as well as a guiding philosophy of respect for the hotel’s natural surroundings. All three of these are easily found at the Fairmont Miramar, in Santa Monica, California. The restaurant in the hotel, The Fig, is designed perfectly to provide the casual California setting for a great dinner. Chef Ray Garcia uses the best, freshest, most sustainably harvested ingredients to create delicious, memorable meals. Most fruits and vegetables are purchased at the bi-weekly Santa Monica Farmers’ Market. That explains the rave reviews! A terrific dinner is an important part of a Los Angeles vacation, and hungry travelers are wise to make reservations at The Fig in the Fairmont Miramar.

The Ray Garcia Fig and The Vacation Gals Tweetup is, again, May 18. There is a cover charge of $20, but that means that all the delicious menu items – and the talented mixologist at the bar – are at our disposal. That’s right, food and drinks. It will be a FUN night! Please bring cash to simplify and expedite the process of getting in. Doors open at 6 pm, so come hungry! The only thing you need to bring besides cash is your Twitter handle (for example, I’m @JenniferMiner) so that your online friends will know who you are. You don’t have to live in Los Angeles to come (I know someone who is jetting down from San Francisco) but watch out; the Miramar is a popular hotel with ocean views. Those ocean view rooms might fill up fast! Any twitterer who’s been considering a mid-May Southern California vacation, should also considering stopping by The Fig and saying hi. I’ll be happy to meet you!
