"An idea: spend a morning with your dog at one of the most underrated beaches in LA (Dockweiler). Then, afterward, go to Playa Provisions nearby. This excellent all-day restaurant is open for all three meals. While their dinner is solid, the best time to be here is during the day for pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Sit on the large patio that's welcoming to dogs and humans alike. " - brant cox
