Hey everyone!

I'm making my first trip to the Rally this year, and am a bit unfamiliar with the area. Are there any grocery stores (a natural food store would be great!) within walking distance of the Westin? Any shopping centers at all within a short walk? Or perhaps within a super short taxi distance? I'll scope google as well, but firsthand knowledge is always preferred.
Thanks!

Maybe check out Google Street Maps?

There are no supermarkets within walking distance afaik. There's a big and very nice Whole Foods not too far away, but you definitely need a Taxi for that.

A lot of attendees, especially the more budget conscious ones, eat at the LAX internet cafe within 5 minutes walking distance of the hotel. This has a wide selection of food which is quite good and very affordable, although I'm not familiar enough with the menu to be able to say if they have anything that would qualify as "health food"...
