Kaggle is my go to for finding a useable dataset as quickly as possible. Data.gov is a very close second. If you're looking for a little bit of a detour that can lead you down a tangent but end up somewhere fun in the end: Data Is Plural is where it's at. BuzzFeedNews is great if you want to learn some new techniques or see the 'how' behind some number crunching. Any of these resources should get you to a useable data set, it just depends on how you want to get there...
