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 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.

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.

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!
