abbot kinney has been one of my favorite streets in los angeles since my days dancing at yuri grigoriev school of russian ballet in venice beach. that was back when the pinkberry had just opened which has since closed (r.i.p.)… ah the good old days! now, my go-to places on abbot kinney are firefly, urbanic paper boutique, gjelina’s for lunch (post to come) and lemonade for snacks and drinks (which is coming to fashion island soon… yay!).
