We took bus 733 from the city center and got off at Venice / Abbott Kinney Avenue and walked northwest to Brooks Avenue. It was just before 9 a.m. and the avenue was calm, with only a few walking their dogs and some on their way to work. It was a great stroll with a wide variety of street views, from murals to many style buildings. We went to Cafe Intelligentsia for a delicious breakfast and enjoyed the feeling of sitting on the steps outside and basking in the sun.
