Getting fancy in Venice Beach

Saturday night, I was hired to drive a friend of Dorothy's to Venice Beach for a party.
I dropped her off at her party and had a free date night with this good looking fella!
We had a lot of fun walking around, checking out the town. There were some wild, funny things as shown above.
And then there were some super awesome, really modern, creative things as shown below.
We finished out the night dining at what we both decided was the fanciest restaurant we've ever been to. We wanted to go big, and we did. Holy cow. When we put our names in, they took our cell number and called us when our table was ready. But it wasn't a table; it was 2 stools at the "communal." It was packed and loud and swanky. The waiter came up to us, dressed in nice street clothes, and gave us menus we did not understand. Shane says, "So, we normally eat at Wendy's." HAA! The waiter gave us the rundown and we did it up. Homemade sodas, an appetizer of fine cheeses, orange zest goat cheese ravioli (5 ravioli to be exact), and chicks+fries. It was a fun/funny experience- we were in another world. And then we got the check - you don't want to know!
Overall, we decided we're very glad we live in Long Beach. But we had an awesome night out - bring on the old ladies who need rides!
