MAINopoly: A Taste of Main Street

Everybody likes a good theme party, and this Memorial Day weekend, Main Street in Santa Monica is giving the people what they want. In an effort not only to entertain Westsiders but to support the area’s community programming, much of Main Street will transform into essentially an interactive Monopoly board game, allotting attendees “MAINopoly dollars” to be exchanged for food tastings from some of the finest establishments on and around the street. Trade a few fake bucks for dishes from spots like Ashland Hill, Triple Beam Pizza, Michael’s Santa Monica, Jameson’s Pub, HomeState and Junior Cookies. Be sure to grab drinks from the “Go to Jail” Beer Garden—for the first time this year, you can sip while you stroll from stop to stop. Dressing up is encouraged, so polish up that Monopoly monocle.
