Fab food, take out available next door, the kale salad is to die for, as is the spinach salad. Res month in advance-packed so go at 4, the dinner opens up at 5 they'll let you stay or go at 9:30pm.

Salad Pizzaaaa! And many other, but that one's exceptional. Thin bagel crust.

This was the best move Whole Foods did for all of us :). 3 minute bike ride from the house, this one is brand new, huge and stocked up. Will cook for you, including grilling fish and seafood.

When you need to grab a quick bite or get one of their many lemonade flavors, including the classic or sugar free of the day. Interesting salads, hot meals, desserts. Cute canteen-like green feel.

cool hangout

Excellent food, the best time to go is the Happy Hour - less crowded and a good deal :)

I dare to say the best rooftop in Venice. Great view, very comfortable sofas and armchairs, food and drinks. Basically next to the Venice sign and the new Orson Welles inspired mural Touch of Venice!

Very close to Gold's Gym, bordering with Santa Monica on Rose. Great food, I just find they have odd hours, don't stay open late. Have a wonderful little shop with cool knick-knacks.

Great for people watching, right next to an eclectic book store

Eclectic wonderful bookstore

Aaahh, my favorite place, great coffee, tea, rice, almond coca, shakes, food. Where the locals hang... Right by the pier

Great food, shabby chic decorated interior, comfortable, sweet

Great coffee, tea, fabulous breakfast, great local vibe, right next to Whole Foods

Again, within a very comfortable walking distance, truly French place run by French. Excellent for breakfast or a meeting on the patio. Very sweet to dogs :).

LOVE Gold's Gym Venice.... the best gym in the world. Period. The Mecca. Word.

Restaurant, bar, great vibe, great food

Local coffee hangout, no Starbucks, Coffee Bean or other here. Almond and rice cocoa as well, salads, sandwiches, soup, deserts. Rad.

Wish we had more of them preserved, the best place for walks... beautiful

Fab tennies, especially men's

The place to see, tons of shops, restaurants and a zoo :)

Shoes... fabulous one of a kind shoes, even better when they have a sale!

Library, events, used to be the City Hall long time ago....

Right across the street. Marilyn Fox, the Artistic Director is not only a fabulous actress but chooses her plays wisely and going to see their plays is a delight!

Jeans made to order or readily available, old school stuff. The owners rock.

jam sessions, concerts... cool and local

Great place to hang out or ride. Beautiful in sunsets

Earthy and local, bar, closest to the beach, past the Venice Sign, the new Orson Welles inspired mural Touch of Venice is on the side wall of Danny's.

LOVE this place. Amazing selection of great music (drums, native, contemporary), Native American jewelry and clothing, great Native American print T-shirts

SPARC - exhibits, screenings, art shows, events, little store and right across the street :). Police station/jail from the old days.

you're being let in on the best secret local pathway to Abbot Kinney...
