Another GREAT historical diner in Santa Monica - its been in a few movies, but most importantly it's been a friend and family staple for decades - biscuits and gravy are a must
Great little greasy spoon diner. No frills, just yummy diner food
This is a great little dive burger bar right next to Venice fishing pier. Great right around sunset
yummy menu, good drinks!
One of our favorite local Mexican restaurants - carnitas, chimichangas and margaritas are delish! Home made tortillas too YUM
yummy sushi where you sit on the floor
great Japanese food court and market
delish, upscale Italian spot
nice, cool, scene-y place is you want something that's not a dive. Theres a cool little whiskey bar that we like attached to the restaurant
great, classic steakhouse!
another great dive bar if you're on the boardwalk - have a drink and some pub food on the second floor for optimal people watching
slightly more upscale bar on Venice boardwalk
our personal favorite sub spot - it's a lifestyle
this is a pretty popular street with a lot of boutiques, coffee shops and places to eat - worth an afternoon stroll if you've got the time
another staple of LA, super fun to walk around, shop, see the skate park, with exceptional people watching - probably best to only go during the day :)
Kim and her mom's favorite and closest hike <3
great house watching! take a road soda and stroll this quirky, cute neighborhood
take a Duffy or jetski or kayak out in the marina!
