Shutters on the Beach, Santa Monica


The perfect answer to the age old question "What to do on New Years?".
Three nights at Shutters On The Beach in Santa Monica.
My favorite meal was around the Corner at Cafe Cora. The tiny
spot is fast, clean and efficent in the LA way, cool and contemperary.
Fresh citrus juice, good hot coffee and ranch eggs. 12 seats inside
and another 30 under a tent.

We also enjoyed a few dinners at Coastal in the Shutters complex.
Best dish here was a Rigatoni Ragout. The space is well designed
for the ample crowd that rolls through it, just off the beach. They also
offer a wonderful vegetable breakfast skillet in a spicy tomato sauce
with eggplant, topped with eggs and an herbed goat cheese crouton.

Finally, the lemonade at Dog Stick, just off the Santa Monica peir.
Pass on the dog but refresh w. the Lemonade, really darn good.
