628547 Tue Jun 16 15:25:20 -0700 2009 12 2 Los Angeles Area 0 4779144 We're taking that man o' mine and our eight yr. old son biking along the Santa Monica/Venice/Marina Del Rey path and wanted to stop at a nice eatery along the way. We're open to all good cuisines at any price points, but don't want to venture too far off the main biking/walk. Any good recs, please? Tue Jun 16 15:25:20 -0700 2009 87852 candee 1 4779639 Piccolo, but they don't open until 5 or 5:30.

Tue Jun 16 19:00:59 -0700 2009 4779639 87852 candee 1 4779672 For lunch? With bikes? Chaya Venice (Navy at Main) or 3 Square (Abbot Kinney). Tue Jun 16 18:38:50 -0700 2009 4779144 42095 yogachik 2 4779717 Chaya's pretty brilliant. Do you know if there's a place there for our bikes? Tue Jun 16 18:59:33 -0700 2009 4779672 87852 candee 3 4783494 i'd call them and ask if there is a place in their parking garage where you could safely lock up your bikes. i agree, yogachik was brillliant with this rec. also, i would advise resisting any urge you might have to order sushi at chaya venice on a sunday. stick to their other food. Wed Jun 17 23:29:43 -0700 2009 4779717 11935 westsidegal 2 4784168 There are many bike racks alongside the building, both on Navy and on Main (in front of the yoga studio). Thu Jun 18 08:24:13 -0700 2009 4779672 42095 yogachik 1 4780198 James Beach is very convenient to the bike path and offers a nice variety. Tue Jun 16 23:45:42 -0700 2009 4779144 10728 New Trial 2 4780232 Their having some sort of Father's Day special celebration with Zydeco music in the parking lot behind Uncle Darrow's at the corner of Washington and Lincoln. Sounds like fun and good Cajun food. It's in the early afternoon. Call them. Wed Jun 17 00:34:27 -0700 2009 4780198 87865 Jeryy 1 4781127 We enjoy Finn MacCool's on Main. They have a full bar and live Irish music on Sundays. (Be sure to get the garlic fries!)

Thu Jun 18 15:21:34 -0700 2009 4781127 90755 Phurstluv 1 4785759 Hals is great for brunch or dinner. Its on Abbot Kinney. Thu Jun 18 16:08:16 -0700 2009 4779144 324143 BSW6490 1 4786216 I would goto Joe's on Abbot Kinney for brunch, but I believe they stop seating at 2pm - not sure if they are extending hours due to it being Father's Day.
