Order food for delivery or takeout, enjoy happy hour from home, and experience wellness and family-friendly activities from a distance with Downtown Santa Monica's virtual offerings
Downtown Santa Monica restaurants and businesses on Third Street Promenade continue to operate for delivery or curbside pick-up to provide the community with their favorite comfort meals or "happy hour from home" cocktail kits.
There are a number of ways to eat local and support Santa Monica businesses while practicing social distancing and self-care. Order pasta, pizzas, and family meals accompanied by cocktails to-go or for delivery from Elephante while directly supporting frontline medical workers.
