A Huge Birthday Party Where It Was All About Three Letters: STK
What to get a three-year-old for its birthday? A big huge bangin’ party, of course. STK restaurant in Los Angeles has been the scene of many a high-profile evening over the past three years, but its celebration party rocked the rafters.
