We had so much fun at the last game night that we decided to have another one, this time at Chocolat in West Hollywood. We added Backgammon and Rubbikub to the long list of games — including Scrabble, Boggle and Trivial Pursuit — and everyone enjoyed the nice, relaxed evening on the restaurant's front patio.
