I wasn’t there (maybe Keri was? I had to work.) but here is a thread to put your comments on what happened until I can find out myself.

Want a real deal asada taco? Hit up Valentino’s Market in Venice next to Smart and Final on Lincoln. Scheriouschly. While you are waiting in line at Baby Blues you can hook this up for an appetizer. It doesn’t look like much but it delivers.
Valentino’s is best known around town for their mobile coaches, but the walk up counter is the way to go!
Valentino’s Venice

Old school- no website we are aware of.

The new building at Lincoln and Nelrose Ave wins the WTF were they thinking award.
No windows? Check
Orange metal stuff that looks like construction barrier material but is permanent? Yup
Putting your name on the side of the building to ensure no one ever calls your business? Yup Yup
Winning the first ever YoVenice “I can’t believe they actually did that” design award? Smoove.

AK, the new restaurant named after the street on which it resides, should be officially opening next week. They had a “meet the neighborhood” opening last Sunday for the Street Festival where they served some mini burgers, wine and beer. Family style seating inside and a nice patio with seating by a fireplace outside, there will also be an upstairs to follow. Featuring a full bar and a Scandinavian influenced menu, AK should be a welcome new scene to Abbot Kinney.
Keri scanned the brunch and dinner menus and they are after the jump! (Click on them to make it full sized.)
