Guidebook for Los Angeles
Food Scene
One of my favorite local restaurants. I often take my collaborators there for lunch. Jeanie Jackson and son, Bobby Johnson offer their brand of Memphis style barbeque.
Their food is homemade and prepared with no MSG or other preservatives. The magic begins with the wood they choose to slow cook the meat: mesquite, white oak, and pecan. They use their custom blend dry rub to enhance the meat flavor. Slow cooking and quality are their secrets to food that soothe and satisfy the palate. Every mouthful is as TENDER AS MOTHER'S LOVE. http://jrs-bbq.com/index.php

This is a very pedestrian friendly area. Many of my favorite restaurants, theaters and movie theaters are grouped here. Plus you get free 2 hour parking in the many city parking lots. Last but not least, there is a great farmers market on Tuesdays.

The Ballona Creek Bike Path starts around the corner at Syd Kronenthal Park in east Culver City and extends about 7 miles to the Coast Bike Path along the beach.

This beautiful state park, has many hikes but also some Olympic level mountain bike trails! It is only a couple of miles down the street from my place. I go there almost every morning to walk my dogs, and never get tired of the views and I continue to discover new paths. Like the Lily pads in the Japanese gardens. Free access except on weekends and holidays when it cost $7 per vehicle. There is a pedestrian entrance off of La Brea where it is always free. Lots of picnic tables too.
