Is Culver City Yelp-friendly?

YES!

Using the Yelp Business Search API, I got 553 listings (probably an understatement to the number of local businesses) with 161,459 reviews. One location - Father's Office in Downtown Culver - had as many as 5,986 reviews.

3.5 stars? No sweat. That's what most businesses that are likely high-traffic or chains get these days, although I like to bias towards 4s and 5s. Maybe as I become more LA-like I'll raise my expectations...

What do people do in Culver City?

How to Read: Each circle represents a distinct category. A business can have up to 3 categories. The size of a circle indicates the number of businesses belonging to that category. Links exist when a business shares both those linked categories. The width of the link represents the similarity between categories.

Obviously, Culver City has an overwhelming number of Coffee and Tea shops. Many of my coworkers had an addiction to the one downstairs. I actually didn't know that there were so many Mexican restaurants in the area, and a lot of them are associated with Fast Food and Food Trucks. The Italian/Pizza scene is on point (although I only tried Pasta Sisters and Roberta's).
