I watched Valentine's Day the other day, and the Venice Canals is such a character in the movie. I didn't even plan it that way, but our Walk Club this past Saturday was a stroll around the canals, and it got us leaning into our local tourist energy. Thank you to everyone who came 🚶

Also, your girl is heading to New York and Nashville for the next week. If anyone has good Camber lists for me to check out, send 'em my way 🤠

📍PLACES TO BE📍

Fig Tree

Venice

This is your next brunch spot 🍳

Fig Tree is not only directly on the boardwalk (so you get incredible views), but the food and vibe is great. Get the breakfast burrito and the plantain & coconut pancakes. 

It's giving this meme, but I'll allow it. 

Palm Grove Social

Mid-City

This place is climbing the ranks of best patio in LA.

Palm Grove Social is this event space and coffee shop in Mid-City, and my new favorite spot to work from. Grab a coffee and head out to their spacious patio to chill for the day.

They also host a toooon of cool community events, like Chess Club on Saturdays and free yoga on Sundays ♟️

The Mug Shop & La Cuisine

Venice

I was randomly driving past this space and immediately parked so I could check it out.

The Mug Shop & La Cuisine is run by a husband and wife duo who hand-make all the mugs and run group cooking classes in the back. It's the most charming space for date night or to grab a unique gift for someone ☕

💬 ONE FINAL THING 💬

Manifesting:

See ya around,
