You should definitely try to stop by for some South Bay tiki. Also, if you do hit the Tiki Ti out in Silver Lake, GO VERY EARLY. The later you go, the longer your wait to get in. Esp. on a holiday weekend. If after visiting the Tiki Ti, you are in the mood to keep the small dive bar bus rolling, hit The Harbor Room in Playa Del Rey. I think it's even smaller than the Tiki Ti. In Santa Monica, I've always wanted to try THE GALLEY which is more seafarer than tiki (tho does have blowfish lanterns). I've also been dying to hit Rae's Restaurant on Pico because they have the coolest old sign and it looks to be an aunthentic old skool lunch counter/diner.
