I haven't found a place in LA or SF with better lomo saltado than Mario's.

This store sells clothes used for tv and film at great prices. I go here first when I need a great dress to fancy up. They have designer pieces for ridiculous prices.
Widest variety of specialty drinks I've ever seen (Silver tequila with jalapenos??) & an amazing speakeasy vibe. Mixology at its finest. Get there early to beat the starlets and hipsters.

Spectacular new park. Incredible views and a wonderful serene green space. Finally, Ocean Avenue to world class status that it should be upgraded. Well done Santa Monica!!! 5 Stars!!!

Blue velvet made w/ freshly baked blue cake, organic vanilla ice cream, and cream cheese frosting swirl.
Definitely try the Biscoff ice cream as well as the salted chocolate chip cookies. Oh, also try the hibiscus watermelon flavored popsicle! I think I'm in love.
