Yes sir next art walk is on March 14 and sisig burritos from white rabbit food truck is just pure sexo
The White Rabbit Truck sisig burritos are basically a sisilog in a tortilla, which of course is a fantastic idea...

Yeah today was a tad hot...
At least it's dry heat rather than humid heat like Florida

In others news, the downtown streetcar was approved by City Council today.
Now we gotta wait 3 years until it's built.

Hey, at least it's happening!
Yeah I'm excited, if our new business is still around then that will definitely help the foot traffic.

You live in Culver? I just moved here from Temple City. Anything fun to do/restaurant locations?
Nope, but that's where I am driving from, I'm a bit west of there and not active in the city social life.
I'll rep Tsujita LA Ramen again though. Get their pork broth lunch ramen.

Tsujita is amazing. And dinner is great there too!

Eat at Chego if you like really really bold flavors. (Chego isn't in Culver City, but it's Culver City adjacent)
Related: Chego just announced they'll be opening a second location in Chinatown this spring.
I dunno, there's a bunch of nice places to eat in downtown Culver City, but nothing really mind blowing.
If you like art books, definitely check out Arcana Books. It's in the Helms District furniture mall, and then that will also give you an excuse to eat at Lukshon (I've never been but want to ) or Father's Office (been several times, I like it).

Yeesh, I'd say 405 to be honest.

Just off the top of my head so I may be forgetting some:
Culver Blvd in Downtown Culver City
Ford's Filling Station - Owned by Ben Ford who's Harrison Ford's son. Good gastro pub with a decent beer selection.
Honey's Kettle - Really solid fried chicken, but you have to deal with the worst counter service ever.
Washington Blvd
A-Frame - Been here once and I still can't get over how amazing their Kettle Corn is.
Rutt's Hawaiian - Go here for breakfast and either get the french toast made from Hawaiian sweet bread or the Royale. I usually go for the Hawaiian Royale, which is egg, rice, Portuguese sausage, and Chinese BBQ pork all unceremoniously mixed together on one plate.
Washington Place
Tito's Tacos - Old favorite, not authentic Mexican at all, but dem Tacos. Don't let the Eastside cats tell you that King Taco is better.
Venice Blvd
Father's Office (in Helms) - I love their burger. LOVE it!
Versailles - Cuban food. It's an old nostalgic favorite of mine. I will usually go for the garlic chicken, but their lechon (pork) is good too.
If you are looking for good Carne Asada to grill at home, go to Sanchez Meat Market on Inglewood just south of Culver. They can either just sell you the meat or you can get it marinated to order, just get it marinated you wont regret it.
I still need to make it out to Chego. I went to A-Frame a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

Also good to eat in Culver is Waterloo and City, and Lukshon.
EDIT: And one of the best Japanese places in L.A. N/Naka! And Sushi Zo!

If you are looking for something to do this weekend. There is a ton of snow up Angeles Crest Highway. Was absolutely gorgeous today.
The Japanese places will kill your wallet but worth it.
You mean club? Because AFAIK I've never heard of a 18+ bar.
I'm actually looking for a bar, as I'm not a big fan of clubs.
try a 21+ bar

Bars are 21+. You might find some sports bar that allows 18+ but they're not really the same.

Applebee's is the shiznit!
I can't think of a any bar outside of ones that are attached to chain restaurants that allows anyone under 21 to enter. Then again I haven't had worry about being under 21 in over a decade.
awww mans so I know it's no coincidence seeing celebrities n stuff randomly when out n about;
I went to this place called Blind Barber last nite in culver city,
afterwards I went to a nearby taco place to sober up when guess who I saw?!?!
the based god himself... Gabe Newell!!
I didnt say hi or anything... I was actually kinda pissed at daylight savings time and jus wanted to eat these tacos and stop being drunk so I can drive back to OC

I saw Zach Braff at Ike Sushi. Funny thing: I overheard him making a joke to the sushi chef, I overheard my neighbors saying to each other "I love Zach Braff", I've watched pretty much all of Scrubs and yet it didn't register for me that it was him until I was getting up to leave. (I didn't say anything to him; seemed like the polite thing to do would be to let him eat dinner in peace.)

The lack of southern BBQ around me makes me sad.
101 Noodle Express has expanded a bit (even to Culver City) but the ones I have tried don't quite live up to the Alhambra original.

I went to Western Smoke House on the Westside once. It's pricey for BBQ, and the meat was just good, not great. The collard greens were legit great though.
(I guess I should add the caveat that I'm from Vancouver, not the South, for what that's worth.)
