Summer in LA beckons with its promise of outdoor adventures and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Whether you’re craving a day at the beach, a hike in the mountains, or a stroll through a museum, West LA has it all. And what better way to complement your weekend explorations than with a side of binske?

Start your weekend adventure by stopping at Westwood or Culver City Sweet Flower to pick up some binske. Then, head to the beach for some sun and surf or explore the vibrant streets of Santa Monica.

For a taste of Italy in the heart of Santa Monica, swing by Bay Cities. This small, bustling Italian delicatessen is known for its godmother sandwich, a flavor bomb that’s perfect for a beachside picnic.

Not a beach person? No problem. Visit Westwood Village and explore the Hammer Museum, which features new exhibits monthly. This hidden gem is sure to spark your curiosity.

If you prefer a more active day, bike or walk along the Ballona Creek Bike Path trailhead, starting in Culver City and ending at the Marina. For a bit more adventure, head to the Santa Monica Mountains and tackle the Solstice Canyon Loop. This 3-mile hike offers stunning ocean views and is particularly beautiful during the wildflower bloom after the rainy season. For more hiking options, check out Will Rogers Park, which even has horse stables for a unique viewing experience.

No matter how you choose to spend your weekend in West LA, make it unforgettable with binske by your side.
