BenInTown: Beach

Get the godmother works premade (already marinating and quicker), get the bag of potato chips, get some italian banchan, get some fresh bread in the back, get some drinks. Do not wait at the deli counter if it is at all possible.

The lower falls are easy to get to and a nice short hike the upper falls are harder and steep but worth it.

The Classic, the refuge, a return to our youth. Gotta find someone with an easy-to-carry shade structure tho because the steps are shitty.

Expensive but good. I think part of growing up is enjoying walking around dumb outdoor mall areas and this whole place has become insane. Also if it's a sunday before like 2 pm all the dumb boomer "Car guys" are out with their pension-bought whips.

Nobu for Locals and the new transplants who blow their whole paycheck on a malibu apartment

The Shechter Virker residence. Meet the dog, park the car and walk santa monica

BYOB, the legend, eat it there and walk down to the beach for 20 minutes.
