Abbot Kinney Boulevard

I love to hit Abbot Kinney for First Fridays, when all the shops stay open late. There’s music blasting in the streets, and the community is alive and happy. You can grab a beer and bounce from store to store. Designers set up stands on the street displaying their jewelry and clothing lines. If you want to discover a new painter who in 20 years will be the next Picasso, this is the place to do it. New artists sell their paintings all up and down the street.
