Great mom and pop owned Cajun restaurant. This place just opened, and I went there right after I came back from New Orleans to see if they could stand up. They do!

Sky's isn't my favorite taco shop in LA, but they have some options that you won't find anywhere else. Like the Lobster taco.

World famous Oki Dog! This is the quintessential greasy spoon burger joint where you can find everything from Pastrami burgers to Chicken Teriyaki rice bowls. My favorite is the turkey burger and fries.

Another World Famous restaurant. Roscoe's is the home of Chicken & Waffles. So famous, in fact, that President Obama visited and has a dish named after him. But during rush times, the wait can be pretty brutal.

This is my go to Japanese Curry spot, though they have a lot of other stuff, too. It's a little gem. And it's open to 4am!

This isn't my favorite spot, but I felt like I should include it because it's iconic. This is actor Danny Trejo's (Machette) taco shop! As you will see from his giant face on the wall. Strangely, I like the tofu tacos the best.

The Farmer's Market is connected to The Grove, but it has been here much longer. Since the 20s or something. It's a great place to visit. But go early or late, because the tour buses make it impossible. You can get a wide variety of food here. And some cool gifts.

Solid BBQ, good with big groups. Can get pretty scene-y at times. The original Bludso's is in Compton, but I've never been there, so can't compare them.

Arts & Culture

Definitely visit LACMA. Great standing collection. Also, they usually have special exhibits which are world class. Stanley Kubrick Exhibit was there. The Art of Tim Burton was there. It's a great museum to spend a day. And right next door is the La Brea Tar Pits. Worth checking out.

Shopping

Open air mall with a trolley rolling through the faux European town. Pretty fountains and lightshows. It can be a scene and get busy, especially when tour buses show up, which they do. Good movie theater and an Apple Store!

Right in the middle of Downtown Culver City, the Culver Hotel is a piece of LA history. Built by Harry Culver and opened in 1924, this place is awesome. Great cocktails, jazz bands playing every night. It's like a travel back in time. Also, good restaurant. Check up the upstairs bar. Sort of hidden. And watch out for ghosts! They claim the hotel is haunted!

Getting Around

This is the EXPO LINE station, which will take you west to Santa Monica Beach, or east to Downtown LA for $1.75. This is the brand new above ground train line that opened less than a year ago. LYFT here or borrow a bike from me and park it there.
