Guidebook for an awesome Venice/LA experience
Sightseeing
Abbott Kinney is one of Venice's most popular and well known streets. There are tons of great breakfast/brunch spots, as well as dinner spots. Plenty of art galleries, ice cream shops, boutiques, and craft cocktail bars. On the first Friday of every month, there is something called "first Friday" on Abbot Kinney. The street essentially shuts down for an eclectic mix of food trucks from all over LA county, as well as art gallery openings and street vendors.
