I'm fairly certain The Penthouse at The Huntley Hotel is one of the most underrated brunch spots in LA. It's got panoramic views, amazeball food (baked egg in cast iron is a must), Instagram friendly white decor, and it's literally a block away from our place which means I get to enjoy full blown boozy to go with the brunch.
I'm going to really miss living in Santa Monica. Even though I've only been here for a few months, I've grown attached to hiding in our little alcove by the beach. Everything I could possibly need (except Chinese food) is within walking distance and although I don't actually go to the beach, it's comforting to know it's there.
