A lovely restaurant with delicious and inspired food. It's close to The Pantages Theater, so it's perfect for a pre-show dinner. The whole place is lovely, but I recommend sitting on the patio.

Grab a kayak (or paddle board) and enjoy touring the marina while getting an awesome workout...as well as a tan. At the very least, your bottom will get wet, so dress appropriately. They have showers and lockers so you can store your things while out on the water. Don't forget your sunblock, sunglasses, and ziplock baggie for your cellphone.

The Ballona Creek Bike Path starts at Syd Kronenthal Park in east Culver City and extends about 9 miles to the beach. I recommend entering at Duquesne Avenue (there is a steep ramp that prepares you for a steep incline). The path offers enough of a challenge to feel like you've worked out so bring water. Entering at Duquesne Ave, cyclists often finish their first leg of the ride at the Pacific Avenue bridge (~8 miles one way) or continue on to the Beach Bikepath, which you can ride all the way to Redondo Beach (~18 miles one way). If you ride from our house, you'll add around 6 miles to your roundtrip.

Hike up or take the stairs and, while you will feel the workout by the time you get to the top, the view is what really takes your breath away. I, personally, don't recommend the stairs for those just getting back in the workout game - take the trail instead. However, if you can trust yourself to take it slow and stop whenever your body needs a rest, I say, "Have at it!"
