Things Olive Right Now

Mahattan & Hermosa Beach Inspired

1. Mediterrano, Hermosa Beach

This lovely restaurant on the Hermosa Beach pier serves unique tapas and other small bites alongside red and white sangria for a memorable dining experience. Seven girls, three pitchers, and ten plates later we left full and happy.

2. Roundhouse Aquarium, Manhattan Beach Pier

Why yes, holding a starfish, peering at mini sharks and creepy eels, and admiring gigantic tuna IS possible before noon on a Sunday. For free!

3. Mandarine, Manhattan Beach

For the style savvy gal who doesn't have a wad of cash to blow on her wardrobe. Picked up a few items after seeing the price tages were all in the $20-40 range. The comfiest tees, prettiest maxi dresses, and enough fedoras and accessories to keep you spruced from head to toe.

4. Simmzy's, Manhattan Beach

With only four select items served for breakfast, Meghan and I were skeptical. Could the bacon and cheese breakfast panini and veggie scramble really satisfy our Sunday morning cravings? Yes, indeed. The scramble was chock full of sun dried tomatoes, avocado, potato, mushrooms, onion, and cheddar with a dollop of sour cream. Heaven on a plate.

5. Hermosa Pier

A long stretch of boardwalk leading out to the ocean...Chock full of bars, restaurants, and shops for your weekend pleasure. Waterman's was the hit of the night, and the DJ took our requests happily.
