Walking distance from the hotel is Downtown Burbank filled with restaurants and shopping also connected to the Burbank mall at the end of the street. Some restraunts we would highlight are Kabuki (sushi), Gordon Biersch (American), Gyu-Kaku (Korean BBQ), Finney's Crafthouse (American), Tender Greens (farm to table healthy).
Delicious Cuban bakery, everything they make is amazing and would definitely recommend getting food here. Our favorites include cuban sandwich, potato balls, cheese rolls, guava roll, and dulce de leche iced latte. Expect there to be a long line this is a very popular spot.
We play beach volleyball here on Saturday's and it is a special place to us because we spend a lot of our early relationship cruising up and down the boardwalk on our beach cruisers. Venice is know for its funky vibe filled with local art and unique characters. Check out the skate park and muscle beach, we recommend Teddy's Red Tacos, The Window (burger) or Mennoti's Coffee Shop. If you have more time check out these right off the boardwalk. Walk down Abbot Kinney ( the Rodeo Drive of Venice) or stroll through the lesser know about canals.
