Malibu's Point Dume Beach has got to be my favorite all time beach. Its a great place to get away from the city and leave your troubles behind. The beach mostly is a private, but you will definitely find beautiful seals and surfers.

It’s so unassuming from the street, but the build out and design are gorgeous. But the food is 💪🏽

The best ramen I had in LA, maybe anywhere. Even my food-critical son loved it.

Dylan's Candy Store is located in the heart of the Grove. You can find the any kind of candy you can imagine. I always feel like a little kid in that store and attack the teeth gummy.
