LA is not the most user friendly place to set up your nest. Most celebrities opt for
The Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills or Malibu but we say why be like all the rest of the, more money than sense, sheep.
For the stylish
wannabe, we suggest
Manhattan Beach, 10 minutes from LAX between Venice and
Hermosa, with it's small village like
atmosphere and Multi Million Dollar homes. If you pick the right months to be in residence, you will find yourself in a celebrity paradise.
The
weekend breakfast scene is buzzing at
The Local Yolk or Uncle Bills on Highland Avenue where you can be over easy with the likes of
Michelle Pfeiffer and
David Kelly.
For those who wish to remain elusive track down Hillary who owns
the 900 club, Manhattan
Avenue. A private members club with the only licence to smoke in town and
Mathew Fox as a
honourary member. You will often find Hillary at
The Kettle. A 24 hour diner opposite
Starbucks on Highland.
Every place has it's wild card and Manhattan Beach is no
exception. If getting pissed, smoking and making a fool of yourself is your thing, try The
POOP Deck on The Strand. A busy pub like bar with an outside patio for throwing up. You will often spot the likes of
Robert Downey Jr playing pool and having a line, whoops, sorry, a pint.
And finally the Beach is fabulous, although it could do with more people at times and maybe the odd Beach Bar but we guess then you
wouldn't see the likes of
Harrison and
Calista smooching on a beach
towel.
