* Urth Cafe — sandwiches, salads, coffee, tea, breakfast too, and open at dinner time. Nice baked goods too
* Bravo Pizza
* Cha Cha Chicken — WAY better than the website. A favorite
* Lula Mexicana — good authentic mexican. I am always a sucker for tamales
* Shoop’s Deli. Solid sandwich and salad fare, closed at dinner
* Bergamot Station — good collection of galleries, easy to walk around
* The Bridge Cinema. Ok not in Santa Monica at all, in Culver City, nice high end theatre. Reserved seating which is cool.
