The abundance of outdoor dining is one of my favorite things about
California, but I have no desire to surf a Venice heat wave for lunch. The good
news is, the arctic blast from Lemonade’s abundant AC will knock you over
faster than a pipe wave, and if that isn’t enough, there’s nothing cooler than
a hot-off-the-press
Caprese Sandwich.
The mixed green side salad would have been more refreshing with less dressing,
but sandwich is a health-conscious beach bum’s dream. The fresh mozzarella would
give even Italians a run for their money, and toasted foccacia with interleaving
basil makes this the coolest combo on the beach.
Sure, Lemonade is a chain, but I’m not saying it’s the best option
on the beach. What I am saying is that when life gives you lemons, make
lemonade or let Lemonade make one for you. My mix of half blood orange, half
old fashioned lemonade was a little
too sweet for me, but give Abbot Kinney’s Lemonade a chance because nothing is half
as sweet as life on Venice Beach.
