The Great American Road Trip: Venice Beach

Jenny Kang
Updated

Hello from Venice Beach! We've packed everything we need for our stop in this slightly quirky, laid-back beach town: skateboard, 2-Pac, a pair of Vans, and in general, lots of neon. After we bum around the Boardwalk for a while (that includes a few pull-ups atMuscle Beach), we're off toAbbot Kinneyto shop, followed by vintage hunting at theVenice flea market. We'll have a slice of margherita pizza atGjelina, then a few sunset beers at Venice Ale House, and end the night with dancing atThe Townhouse.
