offering up old world glamour and Hollywood chic, creating a \u003cbr/\u003eseen and \"be seen\" atmosphere at poolside venues. \u003cbr/\u003eThe hip new innovative treat served during 'Taste of Tuesday' at the Whist restaurant at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, is their selection of \"bartini\" drinks - low carb/low calorie martinis designed to keep you swimsuit slim.\u003cbr/\u003eThey promise: less than 10 calories and only 2 carbs (carbohydrates) for the mix, and 96 calories for the alcohol - compared to more than 300 calories and 20 carbs for traditional drinks. \u003cbr/\u003eThe 'Taste of Tuesday' has become a place to stop after a hard days work. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's a new hotel patio drinking and dining experience created by Vicerorys Whist restaurants

weekly, and with bars opening once a week, establishments are forced to keep up with the competition. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says they must stay inventive specifically with their drink offerings. \u003cbr/\u003eAcross town, at the trendy retro chic innovative hideaway Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills, contemporary style merges with mid century modern cool. \u003cbr/\u003eThe drink making waves here is the \"snowcone\" \u003cbr/\u003eA frozen scoop of ice with ingredients such as stoli, coco lopez and pineapple mixtures. \u003cbr/\u003eNamed one of the city's best hotels in Town and Country magazines Luxury Survey, the drinks at Avalon Hotel are served around the relaxed vintage-style hourglass pool. \u003cbr/\u003eDirector of Food and Beverage, Caroline Dyal, agrees with Medina, that competition among LA's trendy hotels remains stiff. \u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the National Restaurant Association, higher customer traffic and sales occur during the summer months with August being
