SANTA MONICA PLACE, deluxe, glam shopping by the sea, opens tomorrow

The Third St. Promenade conjures up images of cheesy stores, loads of aggressive homeless people and restaurants where the hosts try to wrangle you inside.  Not anymore!!  Hallelujah.

Santa Monica Place, located on the very south end of the promenade has been under construction for several years and is unveiled to the public tomorrow with stores we love-- Barneys CO-OP, CB2, Louis Vuitton, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom.  And delightful restaurants and bars to keep your energy up and toast your new look-- Jeremy Umland's Sonoma Wine Garden, Kings Road Cafe and The Curious Palate, to name a few.
