"Not to be confused with the desperate actor-filled Weho location, Zinque in Venice is a low-key spot on Abbot Kinney with decent food and a surprising lack of tourists (maybe they’re afraid to cross Venice Blvd.). It’s big, so you can sit at a high-top all day with your sprawled out architecture blueprints for your very-theoretical dream house on the Venice Canals. Alternate between cups of coffee and glasses of rosé while you decide if your roof deck should be on the second or third floor." - brett keating
