This is definitely the best delivery pizza around. It's thin crust and a huge pie. They have a full Italian menu, but we've only tried their pizza. Try their Pesto Pizza Bianca or the La Mamma if you like fresh ricotta. It's not particularly atmospheric, but you can walk there as well and sit down for a slice. It's on Manchester about a block and a half beyond Pershing.

It looks like a hole in the wall, but it's surprisingly cute on the covered patio. Cheap Mexican with loads of choices (think grilled veggies as well as shrimp and al pastor and a pretty decent kale salad), and they serve whole rotisserie chickens with sides. They deliver as well.

A long walk or short bike ride away, this hotel restaurant in the marina has lovely outdoor seating with heat lamps and a solid menu of continental favorites. Enjoy brunch or lunch while watching the boats go by or get drinks at sunset and reserve a table with an outdoor fire pit.

This is an Italian market that makes the best submarine sandwiches around because they make their own bread in house and make the sandwiches with fresh baked bread. There's also a number of other deli items for picnics including salads, cheeses and olives and a wide array of oils, vinegars and packaged goods. Take a number and be prepared to wait a while on weekends or around the lunch hour.

The vegetarian and vegan restaurant serves food that is hearty and delicious and beautifully presented in a lovely setting on Abbot Kinney. It appears most popular for brunch, but I've only dined there at the bar on artichokes served like lamb chops and a roasted beet salad with spinach, vegan cashew ricotta, caramelized candied walnuts and a beet dressing. Everything was satisfying and memorable.

This is the place to get a sandwich or salad, delicious bread and desserts. It's pricey, but it's a Venice experience. It's related to the restaurant Gjelina, which is also quite good, but too busy to recommend.

Sightseeing
This is a great place to learn how to kayak.
You launch inside a harbor, so there are no waves or rough water to contend with. The rental kayaks are in good shape, and the staff is friendly. They kinda walk you through the process, which is essentially a piece of cake.
Sometimes they can be hard to get a hold of. Walking distance from our house.

Abbot Kinney has become Venice's most stylish street and home to some of the city's best boutiques, galleries, coffee shops, restaurants and bars. It is one of the Westside's hippest havens, offering a day's worth of beach-adjacent exploration that's one of L.A.'s quintessential must-dos.

This is a great place to stroll around and see some lovely cottage houses (and some larger modern ones) that sit on the water. You'll see ducks as well, and you can make your way over to Venice Beach after by crossing Pacific.

Los Liones Trail weaves up a lush canyon at the south end of Topanga State Park, just a mile from the ocean. You can make it quite a long hike if you wish, and do the 7 mile loop to Parker Mesa Overlook where you'll have sweeping views of the Ocean all the way out to Catalina as well as inland to the San Bernadino Mountains.

A lovely park in the Santa Monica Mountains with numerous hiking trails of various lengths. At the base of the park, there's a historic museum that was Will Rogers' ranch house. The park also has horseback riding lessons and trail rides, and you can bring a picnic (from Bay Cities) and watch polo matches that occur every weekend in summer (Saturdays from 2-5 and Sundays from 10-1). Be forewarned, though it is a park, parking is $12 per car.
