Since we're staying in Venice...any specific recommendation for MdR, Venice, Santa Monica for food/coffee would be great.
We'll be checking out Echo Park/Silver Lake/Griffith.
We'll be checking out the Eames house for sure, and try to take in some G&G/Pasadena/+FLW, and perhaps some CS houses if we have time. Beeatnik's preservation links look excellent, as well.
On Friday we're going to head up towards SB, via 1 + 101, and then thru Ojai, as recommended...ending in Burbank for the night.
For sure eating in KoreTown and Little Armenia...any other/specific recommendation more than welcome...Also stand-out coffee places, wherever. Don't want to start a generational taco war, but suggestions are welcome!
Right now, looks like the weather is conspiring against us for Tues. and Wed.

Nice restaurants, interesting scene on Abbott Kinney in Venice.
Local taco joint where the gardners go: Campos Tacos on Washington in Culver City ( very close to Venice ).

I don't think you will find the weather anywhere as severe as in the Midwest.
Enjoy!
