Venice Beach, California

Restaurant: The Sidewalk Cafe
Find it at: 1401 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291

My second visit to California included an hour drive to Venice Beach, some Chilli Cheese Fries, drinks on the hotel rooftop and some big slice pizza with sesame crust!

I was lucky enough to have the lovely Adriana, Gabrielle and Jessica with me for this 35 hour trip. After getting off a 13 hour flight we had one hour of sleep before I took on the challenge of driving to Venice Beach from Costa Mesa. I had forgotten how nerve-wracking a six lane freeway could be! Nevertheless, we made it there in one piece, checked into the Hotel Erwin and strolled on down to the Boardwalk. The place was buzzing with all sorts of characters: street dancers and singers, artists, people roller-blading, skaters and more. We settled in with Golden Cadillac Margaritas at The Sidewalk Cafe and had fun people watching and listening to the street band.


Jessica pouring our Margaritas!



A good American favourite - Chilli Cheese Fries! Yummo!



We met an interesting character names 'Juan' who was excited to show us his speciality of Fried Horses!



Enjoying the Boardwalk!
