Venue: Joey’s Woodland Hills

Address: 6344 Topanga Canyon Blvd #1010, Woodland Hills, CA 91367

Hours: Mon – Sat 11 am – 1 am, Sun 11 am – 12 am

Best Days: Saturdays & Sundays

Perfectly situated on Topanga Canyon Blvd, Joey’s is easily one of our favorite post-canyon drive lunch spots. With the perfect balance of atmosphere, location and food, it’s pretty quickly easy to see why.

Though Joey’s is a chain, we’re a fan. The up-scale ambience and decor is inviting and conducive to a chill time while one dines. Add a diverse menu of highly delicious items and you have a combination tough to beat. There are 2 items on the menu that we’re also slightly addicted to: The sushi cone and the apple pie. The sushi cone is just the perfect 3 bite snack that is tasty, zesty and full of flavor. It’s hard to stop at one, but you have to force yourself because you realize there are other delicious things to order. The apple pie is insanely good, partially because they make their ice cream in-house daily, and partially because of some culinary sorcery. It’s that good.

Toss in the fact that they’ll bring in an in-house DJ to keep the musical atmosphere fun and fresh, and you have the perfect venue for a Sunday afternoon Siesta. We’ve dined here on different days of the week, and there’s just something about weekend afternoons that really suit this place well.

So if you find yourself in the Woodland Hills area or are doing a nicely spirited drive through the Malibu canyons, you certainly should add this place as destination for a great meal.

Cheers,

Yesterday we had a spirited drive through the glorious SoCal landscape, starting in Beverly Hills and making our way up Sunset Blvd to Pacific Coast highway. Once there, we turned north and went for lunch at one of our favorite places in Malibu.

We had an eclectic mix of cars, with a Lamborghini Aventador SV, BMW E46 M3, Porsche 997.1 GT3, Audi R8 V10, BMW E93 M3, Audi A4 Convertible (the camera car), Fiat 500 Abarth, and a Subaru WRX.

Afterwards, being the drivers that we are, we hit the canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains for a spirited drive. Enjoy some pics below:

Will you join us for the next one?

Cheers,

August Lifestyle M Drive Event Recap

August 31, 2013August 7, 2018 / Club R / Leave a comment

Sunday, August 31^st, 2014. The morning air is filled with the sounds of engines and exhaust notes as cars from all over gather for another amazing Supercar Sunday show. Cars from America, Japan, Europe and elsewhere gathered in celebration of the So Cal car culture. But this particular Supercar Sunday there was a special gathering of cars from Germany; ready for a special day.

Coordinating with Supercar Sunday and local independent shop Coastline Motorsport, M Club LA (Motorsport Club Los Angeles) had a special drive event that began at Supercar Sunday. This event was a BMW featured marque drive, and in total there were 30 BMW’s. The group consisted mainly of M models, from local enthusiasts as well as a brand new M4 brought out by Century West BMW. The drivers browsed around the world famous Supercar Sunday to get a morning car culture fix, and then near the end of the show, the group gathered in their cars and headed to the canyons.

The drive consisted of a 105 mile route through the gorgeous Malibu canyon scenery and Pacific Coast Highway ocean side. Cruising through twisty roads in the mountains to begin with, the drive led to the coast for some amazing morning Californian coastal views, before heading back up through the canyons. The route was very scenic, with a plethora of sight and views from the Santa Monica mountain range overlooking all of the coasts and valleys, before taking another turn back down to the coast. The last stretch of the route curved through the country side past Point Mugu and Lake Sherwood to the final destination; Lavaggio Auto Detailing Center.

At Lavaggio, Coastline Motorsport brought out a stunning example of an E30 M3 and a gourmet lunch was provided. Fresh with road dust from the drive, many members had their cars fully pampered and detailed, since Lavaggio host top notch one-of-kind facilities and service. Supercars in the morning, drive in the afternoon, with a gourmet lunch and car pampering, this M drive event was a great success! We at M Club LA would love to thank our sponsors and hosts Supercar Sunday, Coastline Motorsport, and Lavaggio for helping us put together another spectacular event!
