Esperanza – Manhattan Beach
Esperanza Cocina de la Playa reopens on June 26 following an impressive renovation, which includes the debut of a brand-new rooftop deck. Known for its vibrant Sonoran-style cuisine and bold cocktails, Esperanza is back—just in time for summer evenings with ocean breezes and rooftop dining.

Erewhon – Manhattan Beach
One of Los Angeles’ most recognizable luxury markets, Erewhon is officially opening its first South Bay location at 1700 Rosecrans Avenue. Expect wellness-forward grocery selections, made-to-order smoothies, and Erewhon’s signature hot bar—all wrapped in an elevated, health-conscious shopping experience.

Bread Head – Manhattan Beach
The Santa Monica sandwich shop with a loyal following is opening a new location at 1116 Manhattan Avenue. Bread Head is known for its house-made focaccia and inventive sandwich creations like the Calabrian Turkey and Combo Grinder. This will be a must-stop for South Bay foodies.
