Come on out to chic and artsy Abbot Kinney on Sunday, October 24, 2010, from 3:00 pm to 7:oo pm, as the Inside Out Community Arts will host the 2nd Annual “Taste of Abbot Kinney.” Discover the burgeoning family of restaurants, drinking establishments, artists and merchants in LA’s trendiest community on the coast.
“We are very excited about this year’s event,” says Executive Director of Inside Out, Varina Bleil. “The Abbot Kinney restaurateurs are so generous and offer terrific food and the feel is very authentic, very Abbot Kinney!”
LA’s Abbot Kinney Boulevard and its merchants reflect the artistic Venice community it serves. Often described as the place where surf culture meets bohemian chic, Abbot Kinney is a street with an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, stores and galleries. The LA Weekly referred to Taste of Abbot Kinney as a Tour de Force and it is likely to become one of the hottest tickets in town.
Event highlights include food and wine tastings from participating Abbot Kinney restaurants and samplings from local wineries and select gourmet food trucks. Some participating restaurants: Abbot’s Pizza Co., Beechwood, The Brig, , Elvino, French Market Café, Glencrest BBQ, Intelligentsia, Jin Patisserie, Joes, Lemonade, Lily’s, French Café and Bar, Market Gourmet, Marla’s, N’Ice Cream, The Otheroom, Primitivo, The Tasting Kitchen, Three Square Bakery & Café and Wabi-Sabi.
