BenInTown: Beach
Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery
Deli / Bodega · Santa Monica
Get the godmother works premade (already marinating and quicker), get the bag of potato chips, get some italian banchan, get some fresh bread in the back, get some drinks. Do not wait at the deli counter if it is at all possible.
Escondido Falls
Trail · Los Angeles County
The lower falls are easy to get to and a nice short hike the upper falls are harder and steep but worth it.
Point Dume State Beach
State / Provincial Park · Malibu
The Classic, the refuge, a return to our youth. Gotta find someone with an easy-to-carry shade structure tho because the steps are shitty.
Broad Street Oyster Co.
Seafood Restaurant · Malibu
Expensive but good. I think part of growing up is enjoying walking around dumb outdoor mall areas and this whole place has become insane. Also if it's a sunday before like 2 pm all the dumb boomer "Car guys" are out with their pension-bought whips.
Moonshadows
Permanently Closed
Nobu for Locals and the new transplants who blow their whole paycheck on a malibu apartment
Wexler's Deli
Deli / Bodega · Santa Monica
The Shechter Virker residence. Meet the dog, park the car and walk santa monica
Cha Cha Chicken
Caribbean Restaurant · Ocean Park
BYOB, the legend, eat it there and walk down to the beach for 20 minutes.
