Need a reason to explore Culver City's dining scene, or maybe just a way to celebrate getting through hump day? This bang for your buck self-guided food tour on Wednesday, March 30 definitely fits the bill. For $100 (gratuity not included), each ticket nets you hourly drinks and small plates from four of Culver City's best restaurants. Running from 5pm to 9pm, you'll be able to sample fare from Wise Sons Jewish Deli, Cali-Asian restaurant Piccalilli, Citizen Public Market's Pizzette and finally (a short 7-minute rideshare away) Maple Block Meat Co. A portion of proceeds will also go to the Triumph Foundation, a nonprofit that helps people manage life-changing spinal cord injuries and related disorders.
Start at 5pm at Wise Sons Jewish Deli with a zhuzh'd up latke, chocolate babka, choice of drink and even a pack of everything bagel spices to take home. At 6pm, walk over to Southeast Asian-inspired Piccalilli for a crispy rice salad and a craft cocktail—choose between tamarind and lime whiskey sour or a breezy lager-based drink. An hour later, stop by Nancy Silverton's Pizzette for a personal-sized margherita pizza and a glass of wine inside Citizen Public Market right next door. Finally, head on over at 8 o' clock to Maple Block Meat Co and nosh on the wood-smoked BBQ joint's brisket tacos or a plate of pork belly "burnt ends" as you cap your night off with a pint of craft beer.
