Rocco's Tavern - Studio City

Eric Dickerson, widely regarded as one of the greatest running backs in NFL history, has entered into a partnership with the burgeoning sports bar Rocco’s Tavern to create a special menu reminiscent of the Hall of Famer’s illustrious past.

"29 at Rocco’s Tavern,” a reminder of the number Dickerson wore throughout his NFL career, will be available at Rocco’s locations in Studio City, Westwood, Culver City, Old Town Pasadena, as well as at the Rocco’s owned 901 Bar & Grill. And as per usual, all NFL games can be seen each week at all Rocco’s locations.

Avital Food Tour in Downtown LA

Yes, I'm local, but I recently experienced Avital DTLA food tour.  They do offer tours in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Please visit their website for more information.

So my DTLA tour started from Grand Central Market. The tour runs from 10am-1pm. We tried light snacks at 4 different places in DTLA. You won't be full but there are so many places to visit in DTLA after tour. You can always get here early and get something to eat at Grand Central Market before tour starts. Your avital guide will also show you around DTLA, tells you little history, stories, etc. It's a fun things to do while you are visiting L.A. and wanna discover the area. In fact, everyone else except me was visiting from NY and other cities.

Check out my YouTube video!



Avocado Toast from PYT
Tacos at Guisados
French Dip at Coles

Two scoops of ice cream at Peddler's creamery
There are so many wall arts like this in DTLA
