Essentials
1788 S La Cienega Blvd
1788 South La Cienega BoulevardClosest market that is open late, until 11 pm
Pretty good local market. Only open until about 8:30. Park in the street or the lot behind, or walk. I avoid Elat, which is similar but cheaper, but also much less pleasant. Last I checked.

I do most of my shopping here and the farmers market. Free parking in the adjacent lot.

Tasty, great quality, overpriced. Smallish Whole Foods, kind of tucked away. A bit farther away, though not far, is the much larger one on the SE corner of Fairfax and 3rd, across from the Grove.

Full service supermarket, open 24/7. Parking in the lot is a hassle, I'd rather feed the meter. Overpriced. Useful.

Food Scene
I don't really. I prefer Elat coffee across the street and down a half block. Or the Starbucks in DT culver city. But if you're wondering where the closest one is.

Yummy, inexpensive, authentic. I recommend the one on Cardiff, not Culver, unless you want gelato. I also recommend Ugo wine bar . Good happy hour and they have those wine dispensing thingies.

Tasty, healthy, crazy cheap for the quality. Only con is the inevitable (but totally understandable) line out the door. You can have wine but it's more of a lunch place.

Excellent all around restaurant. They used to have a good happy hour but they are funny now about where you sit. Good bar scene. Club atmosphere later on weekends. Not my thing but ....Park free.

Komodo
8809 W Pico BlvdYummy, cheap, huge portions. Restaurant outpost of a famed food truck.
I don't. Lots of people do though. Too americanized for my taste. I go to Natalee on Robertson and Olympic. Worth the drive, though they deliver.

Tasty if you're in a meaty mood. I don't keep kosher but it's worth going to regardless.

Good food, nice atmosphere since it's also a flower shop. Oddly always empty, but also oddly still in business.

Excellent italian restaurant. Way small. A short walk. BYOB. There's a kosher restaurant around the corner, I haven't tried it but it's always busy and it looks good.

Shopping
It's open quite late (does it close?) and it's walking distance. There's a parking lot there.

Another big, nice open air shopping center not far from here. Lots of restaurants and a movie theater. Larger and generally more high end than the Grove. Also not far.

Everything Else
Not sure the address. Just S of the Walgreen's. Excellent selection, I don't think it ever closes either.

Closest one. I prefer the CVS at Robertson & Venice - better selection.
Also there is a Coffee Bean here.
And a Staples.
And an ok farmer's market on Thursday afternoons. Some organic stuff.

Yum. You can park in one of the lots a block or two away, free during the market (tuesday afternoons).
Also a lot of good dining options in this immediate area, I'd say just park and meander.

Robertson Branch Library
1719 S Robertson BlvdClosest library. Nice building. Walking distance.
Fabulous olympic sized public pool. Please don't insult this magnificent pool unless you're going to do laps. If you just want to sun yourself or horse around, go elsewhere. I'm not kidding.

I could also say entertainment, restaurants, sight seeing. Nice, surprisingly charming open air mall with adjacent historic farmers market. Fantastic view from top of the parking structure.

There is an internet cafe right next door and they sort of work together, so it's less unpleasant than the typical laundomat experience.

I go to Magical Dry Cleaners.
In the same shopping center, there is a laundromat. The other one in the guidebook is pleasanter but it's large so there are always plenty of machines.

Arts & Culture
Great museum. They also have fun events like Friday Night Jazz (free). Lots of cute shops, restaurants, galleries in this general area. 15 minutes by bike, slightly less by car.
