Review:
Since winter does not come to SoCal naturally, in typical LA fashion we import it. Open to satisfy that hunger for something that resembles anything like a season, ICE (for skating) is the first, best, and only excuse of the year for the Santa Monician to pull out her mittens, scarf, and leg warmers.
As we don't have real fall or autumn weather to pace us, skipping straight from Halloween to the host of winter activities is sort of excusable - especially if it includes taking advantage of being outside and drinking salted caramel hot cocoa. Appropriately, the outdoor ice skating drink in Santa Monica will open on November 11th and stay through and well beyond the new year (December 16th).
Make sure to go at least once. Get a bit wet, a little bruised, rather rosey-cheeked and enjoy The Most Wonderful Time Of Year (most adults stay for about an hour, or until the happy hour drinks wear off...which sounds about right).
Mark your calendars! ICE opens this FRIDAY!
