Abbot Kinney Boulevard
About
Abbot Kinney Boulevard is Venice's inland main street, named after its founder and about a mile long. It's lined with indie designers, concept stores, coffee shops and buzzy restaurants, with Gjusta, Gjelina and Blue Bottle nearby. First Fridays brings food trucks on the first Friday evening of every month, and the Abbot Kinney Festival takes over in the fall.
Jasmine says

Venice's main strip for design, restaurants and shopping.
