Hi guys!
I am back home and ready to post about some places visited in SoCal last week. We had a BLAST and although I love San Francisco, I think if I had to move back to Cali I would choose L.A. for its diversity, beaches, and free-thinking attitude. So the first place we stayed was Playa Del Rey, a sleepy beach town located between Venice Beach and Manhattan Beach. There is nothing much too it, but we did enjoy our time there.
Started off every day right at the cute and surferish Cafe Milan. Great breakfast foods and awesome foam on my cappucino. Excellent laid back and friendly service.
Moe from the Simpsons’ car. The bar and bartender from the Simpsons were based here at Moe’s Tavern!
Cool Houses
Amazing stop (you would never know it from the front) a gastropub called Tripel. Here we are drinking some of their vast choices of local brews and eating their delicious food. Lots of burgers and appetizers like this roasted cherry tomato, mozzarella and almond creation!

Erin and I grilling up some veggies. This is the life!
Thanks for checking in, and stay tuned for more pics!
Anna, I love this post! I lived in Marina del Rey before moving to Italy (I'm a native So. Californian). When my office was by the airport I'd drive through Playa del Rey on my way home from work; there was a great Mexican restaurant we'd go to often named "Paco's Tacos" there. Thank you for the post!
awww i missed that one! next time.. and thanks for reading!
Hey Anna,
Glad to see that you enjoyed SoCal — where I am from. However I am a confirmed NoCal girl now!!
Ciao Anna! Wow! You were in my back yard! I live 20 miles north of Sacramento. Great post on Playa Del Rey. So you would pick So Cal over the City by the Bay? Well, seriously…all of California is great. Enjoying the reading. Thanks
thanks Mario! well… i guess i would have to think twice about that statement but I do love L.A. Now back home in Napa.. hope you are well and thanks again for reading!
