Shopping

Shopping at 2nd and PCH is so picturesque. Walk underneath palm trees and string lights and grab shopping essentials and  fashion must-haves. If you’re hunting for a new workout fit, 2nd & PCH has multiple stores to choose from like Lululemon,  Athleta and Nike. Looking for a new dress or pair of jeans? Run over to Free People, Madewell, Evereve or Anthropologie. For the guys, 2nd & PCH has Brixton, UNTUCKit, and Vuori. Trust us, shopping makes anyone hungry, so thankfully Whole Foods Market is nearby to pick up a snack. It’s located next door to gorjana – our fave jewelry shops in LA.

Workout Classes

Every day of the week, you can find fitness classes at 2nd and PCH. Barry’s famous HIIT workout class will get you in shape for summer. The class features 50% high intensity cardio on the treadmill, followed by 50% strength training on the floor. And with their world class fitness instructors and rigorous training, it’s no wonder why they are called the Best Workout in the World.Or if you’re looking to get on the bike, GritCycle is a boutique indoor cycling studio that offers full-body classes for an energizing workout. And we love them because they always play great music and have positive vibes. But if you’re looking for something a little more fun, we recommend Pigeon’s Roller Rink. It’s a late 1960s-inspired roller rink with fun events every day of the week like Emo and Barbie Skate Night. And who doesn’t love roller skating? Then if you need a little recovery from all those workouts – check out The NOW for a massage.

Drinks and Bites

2nd and PCH isn’t just a shopping and fitness paradise, they have great dining options too! The Bungalow might be one of the coolest hangouts and eateries in LA County with its comfy decor and lived-in, at-home vibe. Grab a drink under wood panels or on the patio with your friends. Their signature, ‘Bungalow Maragarita’ is a hit, and all the sofas in there are cozy enough to drink, laugh, and talk all night. If you’re looking to dress up, then check out A PCH. Straight to the point, A is a fine dining restaurant with Modern-American fare that gets top marks from us. Overlooking Alamitos Bay, A offers breathtaking views and world-class food to boot. Their “Dirty Pasta” is loaded with ground duck and ricotta, but if you’re looking for something lighter, you can’t go wrong with their Caviar Service. But if you just wanna grab a drink outside, Beachwood Brewing Taproom is a laid-back, dog-friendly joint with an innovative beer line. But more than likely – you’ll find us at Palapa. A coastal cool casual bar that overlooks the bay and has great views of an LB sunset.
