Several notable restaurants in the East Bay have recently closed, including Grinders and La Mexicana.
Gianmarco's Restaurant is a Birmingham staple founded by a father-and-sons trio who have brought generations of Italian family recipes to the city for nearly 20 years. The upscale yet welcoming spot is known for handmade pastas, fresh seafood, and signature dishes, such as veal Parmesan and house-made gnocchi, all served in an intimate, old-world setting.
The Venice boardwalk is great for skateboarding, obviously, but I always love skating through Hollywood, especially along the Walk of Fame because it's such a weird vibe. It almost feels like a video game.
