Pacific Palisades

Pacific Palisades has been called the Mayberry of Los Angeles, perhaps because of it's isolated, small-town feel, or perhaps because it is overwhelmingly white. Whatever the case, this sleepy, mostly residential neighborhood has a few hidden gems that are often overlooked and worth the extra 15 minutes past Brentwood or Santa Monica it takes to get there. It also has some serious architectural street cred as the site with the densest cluster of Case Study Houses (among many other mid-century homes in the area), and perhaps most alluring are its preponderance of incredible beaches, parks, hikes, and other outdoor spaces.

While their ice cream is technically churned down the road in Santa Monica, the Palisades outpost of Sweet Rose Creamery boasts unique flavors and a more laid-back atmosphere. Started by design and ice cream aficionado Shiho Yoshikawa, Sweet Rose took off with local farm-to-table restaurant gurus Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan of Rustic Canyon fame. Flavors change monthly (pictured here is a yummy butterscotch) and ingredients are all from respected local farms. They also make what is probably the best coffee in the Palisades. Enjoy your scoop in the Palisades Village, or get a pint to go and eat it with a view after burning a few calories hiking up to Inspiration Point.
