Culver City Arts District Food Tour
In February 2019, shortly before the pandemic hit Los Angeles, I led my first food tour of the Culver City Arts District. My goal was to support the mom & pop restaurants that make this area a great foodie destination.
This is a great itinerary to use if you and/or your group are using the Expo Line to traverse Los Angeles.
I split this into two posts–Part I and Part II. Newsletter subscribers got this free L.A. itinerary in September 2020. Here it is for you as a downloadable and printable pdf.

Urban Hike Santa Monica to the Venice Canals
