New York Times Spends 36 Hours In Santa Monica

WHEN Angelenos think of the perfect beach town, they think of Santa Monica. Venice (to the south) has its countercultural charms, and Malibu (up north) is celebrity central, but only Santa Monica feels homey. Residents enjoy cultural institutions, athletic facilities, and stores and restaurants of the highest order. Now, there's even more. In August, Santa Monica Place, a sprawling indoor-outdoor mall a few blocks from the beach, reopened, with offerings both high (Louis Vuitton and Tiffany) and low (a food court with priceless sunset-over-the-ocean views).
