The Ranch
1025 E. Ball Road, Anaheim, CA 92805 It is woeful how few pictures I have, but it was an unexpected night! I had planned on going to another restaurant, only to find it permanently closed, so as I shuffled through my pages of where to eat, I saw The Saloon! A big juicy hamburger and…

Gjelina
1429 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice CA 90291 Really nice spot on Abbot Kinney for a relaxed atmosphere and really delicious food! Plus there is now an NYC location!

Abbot Kinney Boulevard
Abbot Kinney Boulevard is a mile-long road lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries … a cool eclectic fun street where I could never afford to actually shop, but what fun to roam.

Art & The Beach
Venice is so weird and strange and wonderful! Someone told me that it was like pre-Giuliani NYC, and I think that’s a fair assessment. There are a ton of homeless (as in the rest of Cali), dozens of buskers, and a plethora of places to get a $5 t-shirt! And I love every spec of…

Venice Skatepark
Now listen, I try not to do anything twice, except when they are amazingly epically life altering, and the skaterboarders at the Venice Skatepark qualify.

Venice

Newport Beach & The Wedge
I have watched enough of The OC that I actively looked for Newpsies and even saw a few. After exploring the shorefront, I made my way over to The Wedge where despite claiming the best waves, no one was surfing.

Huntington Beach
The beach of beaches… I seriously fell in love with Huntington Beach. First, it’s HUGE… not just a little beachside town. The Vans Skatepark is a full six miles inland and my office. I split this town into two as well because of the distinctly different vibes. Beach Vans

The Beach
I really like this town. it’s got a great pier and really nice Main Street that runs perpendicular to the beach and follows the pier into town. Huntington Surf Sports is a fantastic store that locals told me to visit. The Surf Museum and . Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum – fantastic little museum with…
