third street promenade

中午在Third Street 吃了Umami的汉堡，和奇怪的root bear，味道像是风油精。。。加上冰激凌。 我在:Bluff Creek Dr

我喜欢Santa Monica的这片区域,很干净热闹不说,还有很多可玩可逛的。每周三这里都有农夫市场,市场上出售种类繁多的新鲜的有机水果和蔬菜。当地农场生产的肉也不含激素。我们买了些当地产的蜂蜜,味道非常棒。农夫市场关门之后,一切都非常干净,市场上没留下任何垃圾。

这边给你一种度假的感觉。就像在伦敦的街头艺人聚集在科芬园的感觉。这边有很多小店,当然,现在讨价还价的人没有以前那么多了。

太多人了。这里是很不错,但是真的没什么吸引人的地方。看上去也很干净很有秩序(真不敢相信我会这么说)。不过在晚上很多地方都关门了,附近也没什么酒吧。

一个大商场和一条购物街。所有的大品牌这里都有。而且有许多街头艺人会在街上表演,晚上去这里逛逛是再好不过了。

在忙碌的佛罗里达之旅之后,我们在Santa Monica住宿,购物和享受美食,悠闲地度过最后的几天假期。这里一切如我们所愿,而且比我们想象的更好。周末有很多娱乐活动,这里的美食也简直是人间美味(我女儿经常看见一位电影明星来此用餐)。

If you are in the mood for shopping, this is a wonderful shopping area. There are a variety of stores, and you will certainly find something you are looking for.

My new local shopping strip. Out in the open 72 and Sunny under the California Sky. Sure beats being stuck in some undercover mall. The area has been 'fixed up' over the years and is beautifully clean and pristine, with shops that cater pretty much for everything and everybody.

Unless you are looking for stores/shopping that you can find anywhere in the US, don't waste your time. Parking is a pain in the butt, traffic can be horrendous, and there is nothing truly authentic about it. You would be better served spending your time on Montana street if shopping is what you want. Or, just drive up the Pacific Coast Highway and enjoy the view.

We were glad that our uber drive suggested that we check out 3rd street after we checked out the pier. It is a short walk from the pier just follow the street signs and you will make it there. It is basically a really clean out door shopping mall with food, entertainment, and shops. It is outdoor and basically goes down several street blocks.

Lots of stores, restaurants and people watching! Crowded but fun to walk through, grab a bite and shop.

Lots of shops and places to eat. Good for all crowds, including animals. Everything from restoration hardware to the gap.

It was a nice safe place to shop and bump around for a day. A few places to eat and some unique places to shop.

We visited the LA area for 3 days. Two of these days were dedicated to Anaheim (Disney Parks). We weren't very sure on what to do with our 3rd day. We wanted to see the beaches but were not decided on which.After some debate we decided for Santa Monica. And we knew of the existance of 3rd St Promenade because a store locator of a shop gave us that address.We visited 3rd Street Promenade after spending some wonderful time at the piear and the beach (which I highly recommend).We had no time for reading reviews so we didn't know what to expect.This is a wonderful stroll on a really nice street, with all the shops and restaurants you can imagine, streets performers and really nice decorative lights at night.We did some shopping, and at the very end there is a mall with more shops (Disney Store for the little ones) and a Food Court, where we grabbed something to eat, seated on a gorgeous terrace.If not for the shopping, the place is worth a visit just to absorb the atmosphere.I think there is parking at the mall (for which I don't know the rate), but we left our car in one of the public parking lots for $2/hour. It worked out great and the machines accept credit cards.Even though this was a day trip (and the last full day of our vacations) it was very hard for us to leave for the hotel.I highly recommend this walk to anyone!!Mx

Street performers compete for attention and handouts, overlapping their amplified (and sometimes obnoxious) sounds in the center mall area of the Promenade. It is overwhelming and noisy. Crowds mill about aimlessly, blocking access for those who are actually going somewhere.
