Check out the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CoLoft (14th Street in Santa Monica), Hulu (Olympic and Bundy?, Santa Monica), and Indie Desk (Downtown Los Angeles). If you have the time to fight traffic (or if you take the Gold Line metro from Downtown), check out Pasadena, which has numerous technology (not software) startups.
Due south of Santa Monia, in Playa Del Rey and Marina Del Rey, you'll find gaming giants (like EA and Activision) and gaming indies.
On your way down to SD, you can stop by Irvine, which is pretty famous for its biotech scene.
Throughout SoCal, you'll come across food trucks. They did not actually originate in SoCal, but they did take off here. Sites like Foodtrux and Truxmaps can help you track down nearby trucks.
Consider using Meetup to see if there are any tech-related meetups happening during your trip. There's usually at least one or two each week. Also, the Miliken Institute has a startup-related panel every month.
