Abbot Kinney Blvd, California -- Hippie Goes Chic
Starting two blocks east of the white sand beaches of Venice is one of LA’s best kept secrets, Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Named after the visionary who created the Venetian-style canals that gave this neighborhood its name, Abbot Kinney is a little over a mile stretch packed with salons, spas, boutiques, galleries showing original artists, and award-winning restaurants.
