The Outdoorsy Adventure

Pick Up A Picnic
We're sure you're clued in by now that Clementine is just about as charming and delish as it gets. But did you know that they'll pack up your fave treats (Build-Your-Own Grilled Cheese, Fresh Ginger Limeade, and those chocolate chip cookies, mmm) in a chic roadie basket?
Clementine, 1751 Ensley Avenue (Near Santa Monica Boulevard); 310-552-1080.

Hike And Dine In Temescal Canyon
Stash your picnic in a cooler, and hoof it up what's been dubbed "heartbreak hill." The hiking trail isn't for the faint of heart (or lungs), but you're rewarded at the top with breathtaking 360 degree Pacific and skyline views (prime smooch territory, if you ask us). Now that you've worked up an appetite, sprawl out on the grassy knoll with a cozy blanket, and nosh on your yummy treats.
Temescal Gateway Park, 15601 Sunset Boulevard (Near Temescal Canyon Road).

Sip Tequila At A New Mexi Resto
You may have just taken a post-feast snooze in the sun at Temescal, but kick it back up a notch at new Malibu Mexican hotspot, La Costa Mission. Since you can't bring booze into the public park, you may be feeling another kind of thirsty at this point! If you feel like sticking with the ginger theme, they have a margarita flavored with the root that's to live for. And should your tummy start grumbling again, the Carne Asada is the most tender in town (be sure to order triple the tortillas, though).
La Costa Mission, 21337 Pacific Coast Highway (Near Rambla Vista); 310-317-0110.
