What's the equivalent to playa vista but with a younger crowd and things to do?
Culver City or maybe even parts of Koreatown. Depends what kind of "things to do" you're after, though.

For a quintessential LA experience, head to Leo's Taco Truck at 1043 S Alvarado St. Their al pastor tacos, shaved off a vertical spit with a slice of pineapple, cost about $2.50 each. Open daily from 10 AM to 2 AM, it's a late-night favorite.
🍔 Burgers Worth the Hype
In-N-Out Burger at 7009 Sunset Blvd remains a must-try for its Double-Double Animal Style, priced around $5. For a gourmet option, visit Father's Office at 3229 Helms Ave in Culver City, known for its Office Burger with caramelized onions and Gruyere, $18.
🍜 Ramen in Little Tokyo
Daikokuya at 327 E 1st St in Little Tokyo serves a rich tonkotsu ramen for $15. Expect a wait, as it's popular; arrive before 6 PM on weekdays. The broth simmers for 18 hours, creating a deep pork flavor.
🥟 Dim Sum in Chinatown
Ocean Seafood at 747 N Broadway offers classic dim sum from 8 AM to 3 PM, with carts rolling by. Prices range from $4 to $8 per dish. Try the har gow (shrimp dumplings) and siu mai for a traditional start.
🍕 Neapolitan Pizza in Silver Lake
Pizzeria Mozza at 641 N Highland Ave is a Nancy Silverton gem, with a Margherita pizza for $18. The crust is charred and chewy, baked in a wood-fired oven. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner.
🥘 Korean BBQ in Koreatown
Park's BBQ at 955 S Vermont Ave is a top spot for premium beef, with combo meals starting at $50 per person. They use charcoal grills for authentic flavor. Arrive early to avoid the dinner rush, as waits can exceed an hour.
🍦 Artisan Ice Cream
Salt & Straw at 240 N Larchmont Blvd offers creative flavors like Honey Lavender and Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, with scoops at $6.50. They also have vegan options. The line moves quickly, but expect a short wait on weekends.
🍩 Donuts for Dessert
Sidecar Doughnuts at 1125 Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice serves fresh, made-to-order donuts like the Huckleberry, $4.50 each. They use local ingredients and have a rotating seasonal menu. Go early; popular flavors sell out by noon.
Solid list. I'd add that the al pastor at Leo's is good but the mulitas are where it's at, a quesadilla-taco hybrid with melted cheese between two tortillas for about $4. You can get them at the same truck. For Korean BBQ, if Park's is too packed, walk over to Quarters BBQ on 9th Street, cheaper setups but still charcoal grills and the short rib marinade is just as good.
