LA's most famous coffee destination located on Abbott Kinney (one of Venice's trendiest strips). They offer a variety of fancy coffee options, as well as teas and baked goods. Try the "Angeleno." It includes four espresso shots and tastes like a melted milkshake. Guaranteed to put some pep in your step!

This historic hotel once hosted the cast of The Wizard of Oz. Open all day, the restaurant offer solid american fare from breakfast to dinner. At night, the restaurant transforms into a bar with craft cocktails, live jazz, and old movies projected on the wall. The upstairs bar gives a more lounge-like option, if you feel like sipping your Old-Fashioned in a secluded corner.

Fun little breakfast joint. The C and M stand for "Chicken" and "Monkey," the nicknames of the owner/chef's two sons. Great food and coffee (they make their own almond milk) at an affordable price.

Once featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, this restaurant is a fantastic option for authentic Mexican and El Salvadoran food. Owner/chef Gloria is a sweetheart and doesn't mess around in the kitchen. Large portions at affordable prices. Can't go wrong with that.

Because you've got to, right? I'm actually in the camp that thinks this place is a bit overrated. That said, it is iconic California and certainly one of the best fast food options around.

Drinks & Nightlife

Hidden down somewhat secluded alley, this is Culver's modern version of a speakeasy. Low light and plush furnishings add to the secretive feel. Stop here for some great craft cocktails and bar food options, as well as the occasional live music.

Do you like karaoke? If so, THIS is the place for you. Karaoke takes place 7 night a week in this fun little hole in the wall, tucked in the corner of a small strip mall. Drinks are cheap and the entertainment is free. Celebrity guest appearances are rare but not unheard of. Also, this is LA karaoke, where that terrible rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" will be followed by a cover of "I Will Always Love You" that is so beautiful you'll wonder how the person on stage isn't making money off of their music (hint: they probably are).
