Posh Pups
I haven't personally used Posh pups, but I've heard so much about them. I guess they are mostly in Northern Cali and working their way south. This company designs in home stuff specifically for dogs, for instance an individual dog room, a decorative dog door, or a pet mud room. How crazy!!
Kyushu Ramen
One word...Delicious! I really enjoy ramen and especially did the other night after swim practice. I go to swim practice in Van Nuys, and we usually go eat afterwards at a local restaurant. I got the ramen with some veggies and beef in a miso type broth. Evidentally the other side of the restaurant serves other food, but I was sold on the ramen. I would definately return there again!
Surf Academy
These guys are awesome surfers!! I had a half day surf lesson last summer and think I caught on pretty quick! You can't come to california and not take a surfing lesson, so I took a girlfriend who was here visiting. It was so much fun! They took us out on larger boards to make it easier to get up and we learned all the basics. I've rented boards and surfed a couple times since!
Verdugo Pet Shop
An average ok pet store, I would say. I am used to going to regular chain petstores for my dogs food and supplies and thought I'd check this place out and see what they had. No one talked to me while I was there, and they weren't extremely busy, but they do have typical dog supplies but I didn't notice a big price break so didn't get anything.
Yokohama Ramen
I've been on a big ramen kick lately and got ramen here after work one night a couple weeks back. It's good, got the one with veggies and really enjoyed the egg soaked in soy sauce, but truely it's the pork broth that makes it taste so good and be addicting. My friends eat at this small spot frequently.
Champagne French Bakery Cafe Beverly Hills
Really good! I had an egg panini sandwhich with OJ, delicious! I thought I may make it out without a pastry but it didn't happen, they all looked so good and there are so many choices! I ended up getting a bear claw, which was pretty good, but I wish I had branched out and tried something new...next time! They also have lunch stuff too..
Pacific French Bakery
World class bakery! You know it's good when people are waiting outside in a line! They have warm french rolls that are cheap (only a dollar!) and LOTS of good looking pastries. The only downside I think is that they are cash only and I don't usually carry cash, but I will carry more next time I'm headed here!
Cal-Med Medical Supplies
These guys were great, I bought my first stethoscope here while in nursing school, a Littman, which is an excellent brand btw!! I was so excited and they were so helpful and assisted me with answers to my many questions. I had checked out lots of spots and the price was the same pretty much everywhere.
Organic Chateau
I was over in El Monte the other day for my clinic rotation and will be driving there frequently this semester, which I'm glad about now that I've found this spot! I wouldn't have though it would be located there, but it's a good organic food store with not all the typical stuff. They have bamboo salt cookies and other wierd things that were new to me, a typical white girl. I enjoyed the exploring!
Tower Snack & Sundry
Tower Snack & Sundry seems like a healhy convenience store. They have all sorts of things other then the typical chips, pastries, nuts that you'd find at a gas station convenience store plus stuff to have a decent lunch...such as sandwhich etc. The food was good and not outdated too.
