In ‘must-find-the-next-new-thing’ Los Angeles, some of the loveliest old school places get overlooked.  At least once a year, Toddrickallen makes a pilgrimage to Beverly Hills.  There’s hardly a more beautiful place to sit and listen to jazz on a sunny February Sunday afternoon than the patio of The Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel.  The brunch menu is straight forward.  (If you ask, they will change the eggs benedict into florentine and add a portobello mushroom.)  But there’s something about that combination of sun, and charm, and glamorous people that casts a dreamy spell.  It’s also a great place for star watching.  We chatted briefly with Dustin Hoffman and his lovely wife.  Gene Simmons from Kiss was also there.  Absloute magic!
