I Love LA

Back on the Beach in January

Posted in eat by ruthdelrey on January 31, 2010

We tend to only think of going to Back on the Beach in Santa Monica during the long summer months before swimming in the new Annenberg Pool.  But I am here to tell you to go now – during the short Winter months. We went this morning with my parents, sis and the kiddies. It was a perfect morning.

Yes, yes, I know, the food is not great. I get it.   As David likes to say when ordering, “keep it simple”.  We had French toast and omelets.

But if you ever question why you live in Los Angeles – get thee to B.O.T. B.  Especially when the rest of the country is covered in snow and ice. You can sit in the sand, stare at the ocean with the sun on your face.   If your kids are old enough for some independence, they can frolic on the new playground within eye-shot while you relax at your table.  I suggest that you bring out-of-towners who are visiting from colder climes. You will remember why you chose to live in L.A., and your visiting guests will be thrilled to wiggle their toes in the warm sand.

    How was the food? Was the french toast ok? I’m still wary! Maybe just a coffee place?
