Yesterday I had the great pleasure of meeting the Coffee Breakers, a bowling team of amazing ladies who’ve been bowling together every Monday morning for probably the last 25 years — but who can keep track? It may be even longer.  The Coffee Breakers(L to R: Dot Frey, the newest member, Melinda Newman, Lila Smith, Shirley Ruess, Ruth Shiro, Lorraine Zieve, and Emily Greenberg.) Lila Smith bowlingLorraine Zieve and Lila SmithBy the way, there are league bowling teams going at it 7 days a week at the Mar Vista Lanes. And here I thought it was just a great place to eat and to have a kids’ birthday bowling party (which it is — both). Learn something new every day.

Pepy’s Galley has been in Mar Vista since 1969, which in itself is quite an accomplishment.pepys

But then you add the fact that their chilaquiles have become Mar Vista #1 son’s new fave breakfast food, and, Mister, you can take that all the way to the bank.eggs1

It’s a neighborhood joint all the way, with a regular crowd, and staff who’ve been working there — some for multiple decades.pepy

Pepy himself will greet you most mornings, happily accepting cash, and smiling all the way. He says he has customers who used to come in as kids in the 70′s  – and now when they come in they show him pictures of their grandkids.

Plus, if you ask nicely, you can sit at one of the tables that overlooks the lanes of the Mar Vista Bowl. Can’t beat that!
