If you are ever near Torrance or Manhattan Beach, California, Chen Art Gallery is a must stop. It is a hidden gem and even some locals don't know of its existence. The museum features a beautiful array of Asian art. You will find collections from 500 BC, there is Chinese furniture, Jade, jewelry, pottery, paintings, Buddhist art and sculptures and other art and and so many artifacts. You need to make a reservation to see the museum, it is free, yes free. It is not open all the time, they will open for you and the tour guide is all smiles and so informative, and parking is free as well. Chens' is a stunning place. Go there.

Having a German mother, I grew up with German foods and this is definitely the place to find some treats. Good bread, sausages, lunchmeats, cheeses, sweets and staple items. German delis are becoming few and far between, so happy to be able to visit here even tho I live in Arizona. I was sorry to see the Cafe closed due to Covid but hope it will reopen at some point.
