"   We New Yorkers have been privy to the speakeasy trend in bars over the past year, and now it seems Los Angeles is catching on. The newest addition is the Roger Room on La Cienga Boulevard. On my recent trip to California for LA Fashion Week, I met some friends and colleagues for drinks to check things out. It&amp;#039;s very unassuming, and I circled the block twice before finding it. In classic speakeasy style, there was no signage to indicate its existence. As I walked in, I also noticed there was no doorman, which was refreshing (they can be so feisty!). Upon entering, I was surrounded with raised mahogany, leather booths, rose lighting, and a bartender wearing the classic vest and bow tie. We sat and sipped delicious mint juleps from silver straws into the early evening. Word to the wise: go light. The drinks are potent. One too many and you&amp;#039;ll be speaking easy, real easy.
