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.

Another dinner option open to your feedback :))

not a bad place for people watching and hanging on AK, they close early though & a little overhyped...

cool hangout

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.

Great coffee, tea, hot cocoa - again rice, almond, whatever you ask for plus great food - soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts. Great location and wonderful vibe.

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.

Hot spot

Even though a restaurant, it's my favorite spot to go for local music - like my favorite Stevie Starlight's band. Amazingly great. First floor great for sunset watching.

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!

Another great stand-up spot

tried and approved :)

Movie theaters, shops, cafes, restaurants, bars; gets crowded over the weekend, stretches from the new mall at Colorado Avenue up to Wilshire Blvd. Definitely a must go.

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

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

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

Go to one of the best stand-up spots in town!

Great Happy Hour, sushi

old school hang out spot, pool tables

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! Venice Original.They're always coming up with new shoes and shades AND if you want tea, coffee, chill on a sofa, read, work on a comp (wi-fi) or just people watch, this is such a great place!

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

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

Unfortunate but good replacement of Jin's Patisserie in this spot. Fabulous fresh juices, ginger shots, salads, like these guys...

Movie theater Marina del Rey

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

great sunsets or breezy lunches with a perfect ocean view, right by the boardwalk

every Friday 7 - 11am http://www.venicefarmersmarket.com/

Restaurant, bar, great vibe, great food

Great food, shabby chic decorated interior, comfortable, sweet
