"Industry Cafe, an Ethiopian restaurant in Culver City, often hosts live jazz performances, spoken-word poetry slams, and open mic nights. There’s a small, string-lit front patio that’s ideal for a classically-romantic night out, but the cozy dining room is where you’ll get a front row seat to all the action on stage. While you’re here, you can order things like beef tips, doro wot, collard greens, or a platter of all three on a bed of soft injera. Make sure to follow Industry Cafe on Instagram for the latest on upcoming events." - kat hong, nikko duren, brant cox
