Best of the Westside New Best Friends

Featured Animal Rescue Organizations:

The Argonaut’s annual Best of the Westside readers’ poll is a chance to celebrate some of the finer things in life: delicious meals you don’t have to cook, late-night drinks with friends, dependable mechanics, wizard accountants, free outdoor summer concerts and perfect haircuts, to name just a few.

It’s also a reminder to support the local small businesses, schools and institutions that contribute so much to local culture and quality of life.

This year’s Best of the Westside special issue also celebrates local animal rescue and adoption agencies — they’re truly doing God’s work by saving the lives of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and even farm animals. If you find yourself falling in love with one of the many adoptable pets featured throughout these pages, please consider welcoming a cuddly new best friend into your life.

Best Of the Westside Editor’s Picks

FOOD:

Best Local Rock Band: The Morning Yells

The Morning Yells’ shimmery, sun-dappled pop sounds like a native product of beach parties, sunset jams and carefree drives up PCH. But in fact, bandleader and Venice resident Phil Stancil and his sister Laura grew up in Michigan learning guitar from their dad, playing festivals with the family band, and absorbing invaluable lessons in harmony and melodic hooks from their dad’s Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac and Motown records. Now recording and touring with a full band, in May they released the Morning Yells’ third album, “On the Lash.” It’s a synth-shined dream whose ear-catching, reverbed highlights — “Behave,” “Oh My My,” the magnetic “Halfspeak” — recall 1960s-’70s Laurel Canyon pop. (Bliss Bowen) themorningyells.com

Best Place to Dine When You’re Paying: The Win-Dow

The burgers at The Win-Dow are so cheap, yet so delicious, that you feel like you’re getting away with something — not murder exactly, maybe more of a small-time heist. For $3.95, the cheeseburgers come hand-formed and grilled with onions. They are on the petite side of things, which I find a relief — just enough beef to satiate you without making you feel too slovenly. The compact presentation lets you taste a bit of pickle, cheese and house sauce all in one bite. Add a perfectly scrumptious and uniquely juicy kale Caesar and fresh lemonade for a meal that, while not exactly virtuous exactly, hedges your bets. (Angela Matano) 425 Rose Ave., Venice | (310) 412-0075 | americanbeauty.la

Best Place to Dine When Someone Else is Paying: Water Grill

Fish lovers marvel at the sheer variety of seafood at Water Grill. If you’re dining out on someone else’s dime, order an iced shellfish platter — The Grand ($47), The Deluxe ($88), or preferably The King ($165). The King’s tower of oysters (kumamoto, damariscotta, barcat), clams, scallops, mussels, jumbo shrimp, crab, sea urchin and an entire lobster dazzles the palette. Augmented with mignonette, fresh horseradish and habanero-lime relish, this supremely healthy meal deserves to be paired with a bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Let someone spoil you!

(Angela Matano) 1401 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica | (310) 394-5669 | watergrill.com

Best House-Made Lasagna: Colapasta

Classic Italian and classic Italian-American cooking marries beautifully in Colapasta’s lasagna classica al ragu. Thin layers of tender homemade noodles alternate with fresh tomato sauce, beef and cheese to form beautifully attenuated strata, akin to a savory Napoleon. The piece is big enough to share, but I promise you won’t want to. Save up your carbs for the week and splurge. You only live once. (Angela Matano) 1241 5th St., Santa Monica | (310) 310-8336 | colapasta.restaurant

Best Place to Fill a Chimney Cake: Turn Dough

Is it a sugar-dusted pretzel? A conical cinnamon bun? A brioche ice-cream cone? It’s hard to describe a Turn Dough, perhaps the most unique pastry this side of the 405. The base is technically a Czech trdelnik, or chimney cake, but what sets this confection apart from its

Water Grill’s iced shellfish platters make for a decadent night out

Eastern European ancestry is the softserve ice cream inside it. Turn Dough owner David Isachanjan added that international twist after a Chinese tourist bought one of his sugar- and cinnamondusted chimney cakes in Prague and topped it with a scoop from a nearby ice-cream shop. In Venice you can get yours done up with fruit, pretzels, Matcha Kit Kat bars — even 24k edible gold leaf, Ferrero Rocher hazelnut crunch balls and a decadent hidden layer of Nutella.

Fun: Best Local Instagram Account: @veniceheritage

The nonprofit Venice Heritage Museum Foundation is the steward of a beautiful idea: a public historical museum for Abbot Kinney’s “Venice of America,” housed in a refurbished Pacific Electric Railway Red Car. And what better way to get people excited about Venice’s vibrant cultural heritage than with dazzling vintage images? From early 1900s bathing beauties to hidden Rip Cronk murals, defunct oil wells on the beach and the latest outing of the revived Venice Neptune Parade, board member and Venice native Kristina von Hoffmann does a fantastic job of keeping our past relevant in an eight-second attention span world. (Joe Piasecki) instagram.com/veniceheritage

Best Event Photographers: Venice Paparazzi

Way back in 2003, muscular Alex and pint-sized powerhouse Edizen fell in love after a chance meeting on Venice Beach and opened an “instant” photo booth on the boardwalk with a Kodak camera,

13-inch TV screen and an HP photo printer powered by a deep-cycle marine battery. As technology evolved, so did Alex and Edizen, growing Venice Paparazzi into the area’s premiere event photography service. The secret to their success? They make taking photos fun!

(Joe Piasecki) venicepaparazzi.com

Best Art Laboratory: ESMoA

From an exhibit of awkward family photos to a drag show extravaganza inspired by “The Wizard of Oz,” the El Segundo Museum of Art is more “art laboratory” than museum. In addition to curated “experiences” built around inventive themes —the intersection of food and art, for example, or imagining the city’s future urban landscape — ESMoA hosts an artist’s residency program, field trips for local schoolchildren, film festivals, drawing classes and free public programming that’s included everything from yoga to speed-dating. One time ESMoA even sponsored an Elvis impersonator contest!

(Christina Campodonico) 208 Main St., El Segundo | esmoa.org

Best Local Librarian: Winona Phillabaum

The Lloyd Taber – Marina del Rey Library not only features a splendid view of the harbor, it also has the best boating and nautical history section anywhere in Los Angeles County — thanks largely to veteran head librarian Winona Phillabaum, who in turn gives all the credit to her staff. The ever-courteous Phillabaum can often be found at the library’s center desk, answering questions about programming for seniors and kids or helping patrons research the collections. “We’re not just a book space anymore,” she says.

“We’re a community space.”

(Gary Walker) 4533 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey | (310) 821-3415 | lacountylibrary.org

Best Local Music Residency: Hot Club of Los Angeles at Cinema Bar

Mondays at the Cinema have taken a decidedly swellegant turn in the eight years since Hot Club of Los Angeles made the Culver City dive bar their weekly home. Drummer/bandleader Jim Doyle, accordionist Carl Byron, guitarists Jake Bluenote and Josh Workman, and bassist Paul Eckman play two spirited sets of gypsy jazz every Monday night, and the clarity and nuanced verve of their performances is refreshing to behold. Heavyweight session players and musician friends home from the road often sit in, and HCLA’s developed a loyal following that includes Jackson Browne, who recruited them to be his house band for a couple of benefit concerts. (Bliss Bowen) hotclubofla.com

Best Local Literary Series: Library Girl

Susan Hayden often pauses when asked to describe Library Girl, which she founded 10 years ago as a way of rebuilding her life and spirit after husband Christopher Allport’s tragic death. That personal mission has become a community-building point of connection for actors, essayists, memoirists, playwrights, poets, readers, screenwriters, songwriters and storytellers. Presented on the second Sunday of each month at Santa Monica’s intimate Ruskin Group Theatre (to which all proceeds are donated), LG nights are structured around a unifying theme — e.g., “library noir,” a song lyric or small press.

Recent shows have celebrated Willie Nelson, late poet Holly Prado, and Charles Bukowski (the latter with a “Ham on Rye” lineup that included Dave Alvin, Iris Berry, S.A. Griffin, Chris Morris and Henry Blake Mortensen, among others).

The 10th anniversary soiree planned for Oct. 13 will honor venerable language artist Michael C Ford with readings and musical performances. (Bliss Bowen) ruskingrouptheatre.com

35 Years of Effortless Cool Abbot Kinney Festival is back with live music, street food and local style

By Christina Campodonico For more than 100,000 people each year, the last Sunday in September is party time on Abbot Kinney Boulevard.

Celebrate the 35th annual Abbot Kinney Festival with music by stars on the rise, food trucks galore, eclectic fashion pop-ups, and either beer garden shenanigans or wholesome family fun.

THE MUSIC

Brazilian music and dance troupes Samba Da Mundança and Samba Soul Dance Company kick things off with a welcome parade at 10 a.m.

Venice’s own Winston House produces The Westminster Stage (at Westminster Avenue), which is loaded with up-andcoming TALENT! The most recognizable name on the lineup is probably Scarypoolparty (aka Alejandro Aranda), who sweetly sang and strummed his way to the final round of “American Idol” earlier this year and melted America’s heart with his swoon-worthy original songs and acoustic covers. He performs at 4 p.m., followed by Mary J. Blige song collaborator Diana Gordon at 4:45 p.m. Laura Jean Anderson throws it back to a ’70s

Electro-pop vocalist Flavia plays the Andalusia “Locals” stage, “American Idol” alum Scarypoolparty headlines the Westminster Stage, and Disco Shrine curates the Quad Stage at Main Street

vibe with her vocals at 1:50 p.m., British brother duo Champs brings their “gorgeous, gauzy folk-pop” from across the Pond at 2:40 p.m., and politically vocal troubadour Dustin Thomas closes things out at 5:30 p.m.

Persian-American pop artist Jessica Delijani (aka Disco Shrine) curates The

Quad Stage (at Main Street), interspersing her DJ sets between performances by femme punk artist Taleen Kali at 11:30 a.m., the accordionist-led gypsy folk-pop band Sugar Rum Tantrum at 12:30 p.m., pop singer Tiffany Stringer at 1:30 p.m., rock band Ugly Sweaters at 2:30 p.m. and youth performers from the Mar Vista

tin, strings and drum marching band Superbroke bring funk and Latin-inspired jams to the stage at 5 p.m.

Airy pop vocalist Eva B. Ross, rootsy rockers Nine Mile Station (led by local musician and activist Will Hawkins), blues-rock group The Danger Band, broody electro-pop vocalist FLAVIA and Samba Soul Dance Company perform at the Andalusia “Locals” Stage (at Andalusia Avenue) at various times between noon and 5:45 p.m., while DJ Daniel D’Artiste holds it down at The Brig’s Palms Stage (Palms Boulevard) spinning vinyl from 1 to 5 p.m.

FOR THE KIDS

Adults may have the beer gardens, but we all know that the real fun happens in the Kidsquad (at Main Street), featuring bouncy slides, bungee basketball, rock climbing and a merry-go-round for pint-sized festivalgoers. Kids can also express their creative selves by painting a “kindness rock,” tie-dying a T-shirt, bedecking themselves with glitter tattoos or sitting in a face-painter’s chair to become a walking work of art. (Individual ride tickets start at $1 and unlimited ride wristbands go up to $100.)

THE FOOD

People-watching and surprise vendor booths are an essential part of the Abbot Kinney Festival experience

smoothies and acai from Amazebowls.

Meat-eaters, head on over to Black Sugar Rib Co. or Baby’s Badass Burgers.

Those over 21 can drink and be merry in one of the festival’s cash-only beer gardens hosted by Golden Road Brewing, the marina’s own Firestone Walker Brewing Company and beloved LGBTQIA+ bar

Remember these helpful tips: 1. Only hire statelicensed contractors.

2.Check the contractor’s license number at CheckTheLicenseFirst.c om or www.cslb.ca.gov or by calling (800) 321CSLB (2752).

3. Get at least three bids, three references from each bidder, and review past work in person.

4. Make sure all project expectations are in writing and detailed.

5. Only sign the contract if you completely understand the terms.

6. Confirm the contractor’s workers’ compensation insurance policy for employees, and ask about liability insurance to cover accidental property damage.

7. Don’t pay in cash; and never pay more than 10 percent down or $1,000, whichever is less, unless the contractor has a blanket performance and payment bond on file with CSLB. 8. Don’t let payments get ahead of the work.

9. Keep a job file of photos and all papers relating to your project, including all payments.

10. Don’t make the final payment until you are satisfied that the job meets all contract expectations.

If you or someone you know may be a construction scam victim, CSLB encourages you to submit a CSLB complaint form (either online or by mail) to CSLB or call (800) 321-CSLB (2752). http://www.checkthe licensefirst.com/

Murk in Progress I’m in a weird place in my life: My work situation’s up in the air, and there’s a lot of uncertainty in my romantic life and my living situation. Friends are telling me to be patient and live in the moment, but I’m finding all of this not knowing extremely upsetting. Is there anything I can do to feel less anxious?

— Distressed When everything seems uncertain, it’s easy to go really dark: “Please forward my mail to the refrigerator box in the underpass where I’ll soon be living with my fiancé, the cat.”

Decision researchers have consistently found that we humans have a strong “ambiguity aversion” or “uncertainty aversion.” We get seriously unsettled by the big foggy monster of the unknown: not knowing what’s going to happen or not having enough information or expertise to reasonably predict it.

As for what’s going on under the hood, brain imaging research by neuro-economist Ming Hsu and his colleagues found that the amygdala — an area of the brain tasked with spotting threats and mobilizing our response to them — was more activated in response to “ambiguity” (that is, when information was withheld from research participants asked to make decisions).

This freakout by our brain’s Department of Homeland Security would have been a

good fit in the ancestral times in which it evolved. Back then, an uncertain world was an especially life-threatening world because there were no antibiotics, fire departments or rubber-soled shoes. These days, however, we’re living in a world vastly safer than the one our psychology is adapted for.

This one’s got countless cushions which make disasters go down less, well … disastrously.

To tamp down the queasiness of uncertainty, verbalize your fears. Research by neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman suggests this depowers the amygdala by putting the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s reasoning center, to work. Tell the story of your worst fear in each of your uncertain situations: Your boss not only fires you but chases you out of the building with a broom. Then, carrying a box of your stuff, you come home to your roommate in bed with your boyfriend. Then you go out for a beer, only to return to a smoking pile of ash where your apartment used to be.

Obviously, you’d prefer that none of this happen. However, you aren’t unemployable or un-loveable, and you have friends with couches, and there’s Airbnb. (Worst-case scenario — and of course, I’m not actually advising this — you go to the hospital and tell them George Washington is talking to you through your eyeglasses and get three hots and a cot for 72 hours.)

Everything Old Is Nude Again I’m in my late 40s. I’ve noticed many of my friends reconnecting with and marrying people they knew years ago — sometimes friends, sometimes exes. Is everybody just desperate, or is dating all about timing?

— Wondering In your early 20s, you know what’s vitally important in a partner: that he doesn’t have “weird nostrils” or wear a belt buckle with his own name on it.

Then you do some living and maybe get shredded by a relationship or two, and your preferences change. In short, context matters. Context is simply your personal circumstances, and it includes factors like your own mate value, the man-woman ratio where you are (or the availability of same-sex partners if you’re gay), and whether you’re in a hurry to have a baby before your ovaries retire to a cabin.

It turns out that when looking for partners, we have a budget. It works like it does at the supermarket. You can buy the finest steak and lobster and then starve for the rest of the month, or you can shop more in the Top Ramen and lunchmeat arena and keep yourself consistently fed.

Evolutionary psychologist Norman Li applied this budgetary approach in researching partner preferences. Prior research had poor methodology, simply asking, “Hey, what do you want in a partner?” Well, if somebody asks you that — sky’s the limit! — what’s your answer?

“Um, is Chris Hemsworth available? How ‘bout Liam?” But when you’re constrained, you have to make tradeoffs. You have to “buy” the important qualities first — “necessities” versus “luxuries,” as Li put it. When research participants were most constrained, intelligence and kindness were major priorities for both sexes. When budgets expanded, there was more “spending” in other areas, like creativity.

This might explain why people in their 40s suddenly see something in people they tossed aside years ago or maybe just never thought of as partner material.

Basically, at a certain point, many people give up on finding the exact right person and look for a right enough person. For some former sticklers, there comes a point when they’re all “I’m game!” if a guy’s address isn’t his car’s license plate and he doesn’t have multiple wives (two or three of whom he’s still married to).
