The sun-soaked neighborhood is where Art Deco fa\u00e7ades, oceanfront promenades, late-night adventures (probably ending at the city&#8217;s oldest\u2014and today&#8217;s coolest\u2014bar, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.macsclubdeuce.com\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.macsclubdeuce.com\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macsclubdeuce.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mac&#8217;s Club Deuce<\/a>), and a little old-school glamour all share the same streets.
