Slow and American Vintage on Melrose, for vintage and designer fashions ( I picked up a Mohican inspired shirt dress from Slow and 70's shades from A.V)

Chaya in Venice for Japanese and French inspired cuisine. I had a chocolate bread pudding that was to die for.

Farmers Market in Venice for a morning crepe that will leave you wanting more. I got the California; strawberries, banana, and nutella spread. Take a quick trip around the booths for fresh produce, breakfast, spices, and even apparel. For a minute I felt like I was in Europe again.
