Digging deeper into this fun city with every trip. Santa Monica's Viceroy hotel was my choice this time, and recommended heartily. Bikes on tap for rides up and down the coast to Venice and Malibu.
- Son of a Gun (West Hollywood): an offshoot from the people at Animal; my best eating in several months. Again, pure and simple stuff, all about combining the fewest possible ingredients and creating something wonderful. The dish for me was a small plate of burratta and sea urchin, and the crab, daikon and melon dish. Excellent, home-made sodas also on hand, including a ginger beer.
- Tar & Roses (Santa Monica): a fun casual eatery, food isn't refined but perfectly good and rustic.
- Trois Mec (Melrose): from Ludovic Lefebvre of Ludotrucks fame. Was on my list, but next time. Just 26 seats. Look for Rafallo's pizza sign in the strip mall behind the gas station on the corner of Highland and Melrose.
