Food Scene

I think T's is the closest Thai restaurant to my place. The food is generally well-prepared and if you're lazy they also deliver (even though it's literally 1 block distance) -- I personally love the Crab fried rice

Best late-night Sushi spot in Santa Monica! They also have two Happy Hours, the latter goes from about 9 to close. An extensive menu where rolls often are less than $5 bucks! and Sapporo on draft for $2

Drinks & Nightlife

Very good craft cocktails made fresh from great bartenders. On Mondays they have an all-night happy hour where cocktails are $5-6.

Parks & Nature

The hike in Temescal is less crowded than Runyon but equally fascinating views. So you're hiking and over looking the Pacific Ocean...um, yeah!

One of the best beaches in Los Angeles. Less crowded and really nice. Transit wise, the 534 Metro Bus goes there and costs $1.75, Uber, Lyft or other ridesharing will take you there (approx. $20) or if you have rented a car it's perhaps a 20-30min drive. Bring a beach towel and sunscreen and enjoy the day. -- they charge for parking there.

Los Angeles County Musuem of Art. Go to see the famous Light scuplture just outside the musuem. You may get there on the Rapid 720 Metro Bus (the stop is Wilshire & Fairfax) board from my place at 4th and Wilshire. Nice live jazz there on certain nights.
