Local Shops and Restaurants


Expert Pick Off The Beaten Path

Address:
Abbot Kinney Blvd
Venice, CA 90291

Description

Named after the founder of Venice as an amusement park in 1905, this market street is bustling with local shops and restaurants unique to the area. The most interesting stretch of the strip runs from Venice Blvd to Main St, and is lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques and eateries--no chain stores here. The street has a real neighborhood feel to it, and there are generally few tourists. Also, every September, the Abbot Kinney St. Festival takes place here.
