This is a chain that started in Los Angeles and is nationwide now. Still, very good, well priced sushi. Get the TRUST ME menu. Tipping included. The rice is unlike most sushi rice you will ever have outside of Japan. Very long waits on the weekend and at night. Go at 11:15AM or after the lunch rush at 3PM.

One of our favorite hikes. Get there early 7-7:30AM because parking is limited. Open air trail with an amazing view at the end. 5 miles round trip. 2000 FT elevation gain. Mostly all the way up for 2.5 miles.

Great bike trail. No cars. Will take you all the way from Culver City to Redondo Beach, for the most part without having to ride on the street. Wear a helmet. Stops along the way for restrooms and food. Very popular on the weekend and summer.
