When Patch launched in Pacific Palisades in December 2010, editors and contributors ventured to local businesses to collect information for our directory. The result: Patch Places. Patch Places is the spot to find descriptions, hours, accepted payment methods and more for spots around town. You can even see what your neighbors think of a business before you try it or write your own review. But local businesses get extra bonuses when they claim their free listing.

Just click Claim it! and a form will pop up asking for contact information and authorization to claim it. Within a …
