Before my mom passed this was her fav spot for prime rib. She would always bring the Chef out to thank him for the tender mouth watering prime rib. Prime rib with creamy mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach to be exact.
Think Prime Steak House - Live Music, Piano Bar
Been going here since high school. Best spot in little Ethiopia. If you haven't had Ethiopian food yet what are you waiting for. My fav is the whole fish with a veggie combination or zilzil tibs which is sizzling steak bites.

We love brunch here. In LA it's under the Beverly Center Mall. Fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits

If you like pho this spot is great mom and pop vibe spot. Their veggie rolls are a family fav of ours.
Blue Lotus Vietnamese Cuisine
Who doesn't love to go Mediterranean. I had only been to the Culver City one with work friends so I was excited to see one pop up in the neighborhood. The stew lamb is really good.
New CAVA Restaurant Opens in Carson, California
Nestled in the Lomita neighborhood. Loved the swedish massage with hot stone and bath soak combo.
DuBunne Day Spa
Revamped park with lake and ducks. My daughter loves to walk the trails and then hop on a swing or slide.
Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park
Our fav little neighborhood spot in San Pedro California. On 6th Street their little art district. Looks like you stepped back into the 50s but such a cute area. The seafood linguini is my fav. Good value for the price too.
Niko's Pizzeria
If you want a landmark to visit go to Clifton's. Food is decent and they have performances on some nights.
