Planning a short trip and staying in the Santa Monica area. Would like to get more of a feel for that part of the city and suggestions of things to see?Mandown does. I live in Orange County.

Third Street Promenade and the pier next to it is the big Santa Monica thing. There's s Ferris wheel and arcade. Look up Santa Monica Pier. Every Thursday in the summer they have concerts on the Pier which can be hugely attended. There are some special events at times. If Glow is going to be happening you should go. It is a huge lights festival and pretty awesome from what I've heard. For some trendy drinking, the Penthouse on top of the Huntley hotel is douche friendly. There are other roof top bars in the area.Planning a short trip and staying in the Santa Monica area. Would like to get more of a feel for that part of the city and suggestions of things to see?
It's been a looooong time since I was there, but my parents still talk about Olvera street. Lots of little weird shops/booths.That's a bit of a hike from Santa Monica. Possibly worth it if time permits. I'd say tacos alone there aren't necessarily better than ones available closer to SM, but there are other sights to make it worthwhile.
I am not sure. But I may have been there once.Get some taquitos on Olvera st.
I wish I would have talked to you before I came there....I got some good advise in the California thread but would have liked to see some live musicCynergy and Helen's are probably still the best bike shops in the area.

So good mountain biking basically in town?I was there on vacation around Easter and basically we did everything mandown said. Every morning We would get coffee at ground works coffee in Venice and walk the boardwalk to the SM pier and back. "The firehouse" was our daily breakfast place and we favored "candle cafe" for dinner
I rented a pivot Mach 6 carbon from topanga creek bike shop put over 100 miles on it riding from Santa Monica to will Rogers park or going up passeo miramar road to trail head killer climb and views.
It's a fun little XC ride through Sullivan Canyon. After that is just fire road stuff. Fine rides but nothing special. Off the 101 and 118 freeways there are spots. Hummingbird is pretty cool. Some others are less legal.So good mountain biking basically in town?
