Every town and neighborhood in Los Angeles seems to be self-sufficient, finding almost all its needs within a 15-minute drive, but downtown is like a lame child who can't live independently. Look at the Abbot Kinney Avenue in Venice, the clear and beautiful floors are mixed with various shops, the cold La bola fragrance store and the net red coffee Blue Bottle face to face, food, clothing and transportation can be solved between strolls. Looking at Santa Barbara's coast, apart from the deep ocean-bound Route 66 finish line packed with tourists, the rest of the beach is relaxed, with access to the same coastline no matter which street from the town goes west. The three-and-a-half-week farmers market is a small street, but the reputation of the chef Beverly drives regularly one hour a week to pick out ingredients. The ingredients at his farm are on time every day at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood, where the chef makes a stylish healthy meal.
