Food Scene

The casual take-out part of Gjelina proper. One of the best breakfast sandwiches in LA. Excellent pizza. Fun to sit outside on a crate eating your delicious food while soaking up the Venice ambiance.

The service can sometimes be indifferent but it's not a bad place to go when you need a fresh jolt of joe. Check out the locals while you sip your brew. Read the Venice Beachhead for the 60's vibe,

Typical Mexican fare (think combo plates like my favorite, the "Comidas Completas" which even comes with a beer) in a fun atmosphere enhanced by strolling mariachis. Open late.

Joe's was here long before Abbot Kinney was proclaimed "The coolest block in America". Seriously good food. The fixed price lunch is not to be missed.

One of my favorite restaurants on Abbot Kinney. The bar has a serious cocktail program. Start there before taking a place at the big table and seeing what's being offered on the menu that night.

Coffee, bar, food. At the south end of the Abbot Kinney proper, this visually appealing space with a French accent is a fine place take a break and enjoy a chilled glass of rose' or Ricard with water.

An old standby and always a solid choice for breakfast or lunch. Cafeteria style or restaurant dining; eat inside or on the patio. I like the breakfast special: croissant, jam, brie and strong coffee.

Essentials

A Whole Foods of epic proportions. Choose some fresh fish at the counter and ask to have it grilled and brought to you at the wine bar where you'll be sipping something nice.

There's nothing like a Hinano cheeseburger and an ice cold Sierra Nevada draft after a day at the beach. Yes, that's right. Life can be a day at the beach. And this is a fine way to end your day.

Everything Else

This place sells shoes among other things. Cool place to grab a hand crafted coffee and chill out back in a comfy chair with your paper. Work on your computer if you're into that sort of thing. ;-)

You have to check out the Venice Canals. Start on Dell at Venice Blvd. and head walk south. Go where your instincts lead you. Reward yourself with a visit to Baja Cantina or Hinano.
