Savor 'A Taste of Main Street' at this playful springtime tradition.
A) Any time you want, because you should always do you B) Halloween C) A board game convention D) When participating inThe answer, and you know where we are going here, is"all of the above," but we'll add a special spotlight on Mainopoly, the annual Santa Monica event that combines cuisine with a bit of sassy strategy.
And, most definitely: You'll see plenty of bow ties, top hats, and monocles on the well-costumed participants; but who will dress as the thimble, shoe, or cute Scottie, representing some of the board game's timeless tokens? Or could you sashay into Santa Monica in a costume that represents the entire Monopoly board? That seems like an intriguing fashion challenge for the dedicated gamer.
Participants of the 2024 Mainopoly include Jinya Ramen Bar, Triple Beam Pizza, Tavern on Main, Lula Cocina Mexicana, and Library Alehouse and local retail shops will offer discounts; stop in the stores as you stroll and discover how they're joining in the fun. Mainopoly money will play a playful role in the day — you'll trade it for eats and drinks — but you'll need to purchase a general admission or VIP ticket before procuring your game dollars.
