It is that Time of Year…

It is that time of year. The New Year is a landmark for most people. The New Year is a stepping stone, a time to reflect on accomplishments of the past year, and a time to make new commitments for self-improvement. Manhattan Beach is not only a great community to live in, but it is a great space for the locals and visitors to make their resolutions come to fruition. For example, one of my new year’s resolutions is to do more cardio workouts. I will accomplish this by making effort to take power walks down the beautiful Manhattan Beach Strand and playing beach volleyball in the summertime.

Another example of a great resolution is to spend more time with family and loved ones; Manhattan Beach is a beach town that offers many family friendly activities including community events such as: Concerts in the Park. Lastly, if a resolution would be to venture out and try new restaurants,  many of the restaurants in downtown Manhattan offer a wide variety of cuisines and that are healthy and taste phenomenal.

New Years is about a fresh start, a “clean slate”. Manhattan Beach is a great beach city to take those first steps in following through with New Year’s resolutions. The landscape and the abundance of opportunities to start new are endless.  Cheers to a new start!  Check  us out at http://www.davesalzman.com Happy new year!

Worried that there will not be enough room in your home to prepare a huge holiday feast; Will your immediate family, in-laws,extended family, the family pet, a huge Christmas tree, and presents scattered everywhere, be crowded under one roof? Fear not! Plenty of restaurants will be open on Christmas Eve in Manhattan Beach, that will satisfy any palette. Christmas Eve is a time to spend relaxing with family and friends, and the time to take in the magic of the holiday season. The restaurants in the 90266 know that not every family or couple or group of close friends has the time to create a large holiday meal, so there are plenty of restaurants open.

Restaurants that are open in Manhattan Beach for Christmas Eve include: Four Daughters Kitchen, Petros, Pancho’s, Sloopy’s, Simmzy’s, and The Kettle, to name a few.These restaurants provide great environments for parties of one, two, or more! The Tin Roof Bistro is also open, and is a great place for families. As one Yelp critic described it as “a great place to bring out of towners.” The Tin Roof Bistro is located in Manhattan Beach, on Sepulveda right before Rosecrans. It is such a wonderful place because it is spacious, but at the same time, very cozy. If you areating eating with a small group, FishBar off of Highland is great option for Christmas Eve dinner.

Manhattan Beach is THE beach city for all types of cuisine on Christmas Eve. Make sure to make reservations early, as most of the resturants will not be open super late! From all of us at NW Real Estate Brokers, we wish you and all of your loved ones, a wonderful holiday season! Check us out on Facebook or learn more about us at http://www.davesalzman.com

The Holiday Spirit is {growing wild}

One of the many things I love about Manhattan Beach are the unique shops! It’s small beach city businesses like Growing Wild that leave a big impression on our community. Where else could you find a designer Christmas wreath handmade locally?

If you’re looking for an extraordinary holiday gift for a family member, client, or maybe even yourself, look no further than Growing Wild! Their holiday wreaths and floral decor are simply fabulous this time of year. It’s impressive that such a small shop can offer such a wide variety of fresh florals & silk mediums.

In this video Taya interviews sales associate, Holly, to find out what her favorite item is this time of year.
