I used to live at Princeton and Arizona, four blocks from you.

3rd Street Promenande in Santa Monica is fun on the weekend. Hennesey and Ingalls bookstore, around the corner on Wilshire, is the best art and architecture bookstore in the country. In Santa Monica, I like Sushi Roku (Ocean and Santa Monica and Boa Stekahouse (also Ocean and Santa Monica); although both are chains, they're pretty good; bring your banker. Melisse (Wilshire and 11th) is supposed to be the best restaurat in the citny, I didn't care for it.

When the weather cools a bit, drive out to Pasadena; walk on Colorado in Old Town, go into the Norton Simon Museum, drive to the Huntington Library.

The Getty is pretty impressive; the restaurant is good, and beautiful.
