Click It. BEAT picks of the week - Manhattan Beach edition.
It's no secret we're big fans of Kiehl's here at the BEAT, so to celebrate last night's opening of Kiehl's Manhattan Beach, here's a roundup of MB favorites ...
The Kettle - for a classic American breakfast or late night milkshakes. Don't miss their Honey Bran muffins!
Sloopy's - for post-beach burgers, and/or fresh fruit smoothies.
Mama D's - solid neighborhood Italian. BYOB.
The Beehive - a cute local boutique that stocks quality brands like J Brand, Splendid, and JET. Great for browsing and for gifts! Their vintage-style candy selection is a fun touch.
Allison by the Beach - a great stop for pretty and unique jewelry.
Magpie - a well-named pretty home goods shop.
Kiehl's - to stock up on Coriander body wash, and Creme de Corps.
The Coffee Bean, Peet's, or Starbucks (all on Manhattan Beach Boulevard) to get a hot bevvy and a treat to-go for an evening stroll up the boardwalk.

the BEAT of the week: Summer Camp Allnighter at Cinespia.
I've already extolled all the wonderful virtues of a Cinespia screening in the summer, but this one is definitely on a level of its own. It's
what happens when you combine the super-cinema-powers of Cinespia and
Cinefamily, offering something so truly fun and unique and reminds you
why you live in a great city like Los Angeles.
Kicking off Cinefamily's annual Everything is Festival, this all-nighter in the cemetery features one of my all-time favorite films, Wet Hot American Summer. But did you catch that? It's an all-nighter. In a cemetery. So the fun only begins with that summer classic. You'll also get screenings of the ‘80s horror film Sleepaway Camp, and Little Darlings, which stars Tatum O'Neal. Expect other fun movie mashups and highlights, plus DJs and even a photobooth. Bring a picnic and friends, and you won't even notice the night fly by you. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like sunrise in Hollywood Forever.
Get in on the fun by reserving tickets here (only $10!).
The Everything is Festival at Cinespia: Summer Camp Allnighter takes place next Saturday, Aug. 18 from 7pm-6am at Hollywood Forever, located at 6000 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood.
