This Weekend in LA: Eat, Shop, Walk.

Eat

Let the food coma continue. Your fridge is full with Thanksgiving leftovers but you have no idea what to do with it? Here are a few creative ideas. If you are ready to venture out for bacon goodness, Slaters 50/50 is opening up today in Pasadena. Their burgers are 50% ground bacon, 50% ground beef and 100% delicious. 61 N. Raymond Ave, Pasadena

Shop

Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is Small Business Saturday. Get out and support your local small businesses and cross off a few presents from your holiday shopping list. For a list of participating retailers near you, visit this Shop Small site. Apt2B, Alpha & Satine will be participating, so come by 8134 W. 3rd Street, LA and get 25% off.

Walk

The Museum of the San Fernando Valley will be hosting their "Walk It Off" tour on Sat at 10 am of Van Nuys (aka the "Town That Was Started Right").  Explore the remains of the original 1911 buildings and walk off a few of the calories. RSVP by calling 818-347-9665 or you can walk up  -  Van Nuys City Hall, 6262 Van Nuys Blvd. - under arch at Marvin Braude Building. A $10 donation is suggested. The Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens is another place to stroll off some turkey weight.  They have over 102 acres of specialized gardens and galleries full of notable art collections and illuminated manuscripts.  Admission is $23 for the weekend and $20 for weekdays.
