Food scene

If you love a homestyle, small local business and amazing diner style breakfast then this is the place for you. I personally would recommend the fried French toast and the breakfast burrito. Definitely a hidden gem here. Especially if you are like me and do not do any chains when traveling.

Are you into Cuban food and love coffee? This is a great gem, there are now a few around many different cities. Their dulce de leche latte is amazing, their pastries, potato balls and food is delicious. They have a great lichen plate with black beans, white rice and lechon with a garlic sauce garnished with purple onions.

Amazing place for mediterranean food, drinks and they have live music sometimes on the weekend. More upscale so expect to spend around $20 or up on entrees. Great atmosphere for a date night and next to other major nightlife restaurants.

Great bar with food options but more of a spot to start your night with a few rounds of drinks. This spot is very popular so expect this place to be very busy.

If you are a carnivore then try this place at once. It is a Brazilian style churrascaria restaurant. More high end so great for a date night with amazing cuts of meats and slightly over price drinks. Still an awesome ambiance but a bit on the pricey side. Please try to call ahead to see wait times as this is a very popular place.

Palos Verdes Oceanside Hike

About 45 minutes from our how but you are literally transported to the edge of a cliff with nothing but the ocean for miles. Overlooks a golf course and such a beautiful place to walk, run or hike. You can make it down to the coastline in about 20 minutes so it is a perfect family hike or to have a coffee and get your morning started. Add this to your phone's maps: 2323 Warmouth St. San Pedro, CA 90732 Once you park, go to the end of the street and you will find a metal door and lush green shrubs. Walk through that. Thank me later...
