Attention Shoppers! Charter a bus to Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California!
February 12th, 2007Looking to shop with the stars? Look no further than the Third Street Promenade, located just minutes from the Pacific Ocean and the famous Santa Monica Pier. This shopping destination is home to numerous boutiques, restaurants and entertainment options. However, parking can often be difficult in this trendy, popular area and driving in Los Angeles can be stressful and frustrating. Why not charter a bus in Santa Monica and bring your group to this exciting destination in sunny California?
We planned a charter bus shopping trip to the Third Street Promenade last spring and had a magnificent time! The BusBank helped to coordinate all of our charter bus rental needs in California. The charter bus dropped us off on Broadway and 4th street at Santa Monica Place, a mall at one end of the Promenade; driving is not permitted on the actual Promenade so be sure to pick a specific, nearby spot for your bus to pick you up and drop you off. We split off into groups once we were on the Promenade. I’m a cheapskate so my group opted to only window shop at some of the higher end boutiques and shops, such as Armani Exchange and Bebe. We also ate lunch at Il Fornio, a fantastic Italian restaurant located just east of the Pacific Coast Highway. On the other hand, the group that chose to splurge a bit ate at the Ivy on the Shore, a celebrity hotspot. After our trip it was so much fun relaxing on our Santa Monica charter bus and comparing what everyone had bought during our day out.
A few suggestions—some of the best entertainment isn’t found in any store or theatre—it’s on the street. Watch out for the living statues—you never know who may suddenly tap you on the shoulder. My personal favorite is the psychic cat—you can find him sporting his cape out on any Saturday night. Finally, the prime spot for celebrity sightings is the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Be sure to book your Southern California Charter Bus trip with The BusBank, and don’t forget your digital camera to catch all of the fantastic sights!
