Cool place to go hear music. Sometimes super famous people like the Rolling Stones pop in unannounced. Next door to Two Boots so you can get a slice before or after the show.

Great deep dish pizza, quiches, pasta etc. Nice neighborhood hangout. They deliver also.

Delicious Ramen and rice bowls. Always a wait if you come a dinner but if you arrive before 6:00, you shouldn't have too long a wait. Reasonably priced too.

Terrific bar and oyster bar upstairs and great food downstairs. No reservations so you might have a wait.

Great little neighborhood bar that serves wine and beer. Cozy and low key.

Great pizza and they deliver. http://la.twoboots.com/

Very expensive but delicious baked goods, petit fours and chocolates. They also serve salads, sandwiches, tea and coffee. Nice little patio outside as well.

Josef's other Restaurant. Amazing Tex-Mex but modernized and a huge tequila and mezcal selection.

Really good pastries!

The Best Coffee in the neighborhood.

Great Indian Restaurant. They also deliver.
