"Great place to see celebrities getting lattes. I'm a fan of the rather frightening Iced Angeleno (four pulled espresso shots shaken with agave nectar, milk, and ice)."

"New York style cocktails in downtown LA, from the people behind Gotham's Milk & Honey. The drinks lean toward perfect executions of simple classics."

"Possibly my all-around favorite LA bar. It's a "club" so you have to pay a small fee to join before you can come in, but once you do you're a member for life. The rum drinks are all outstanding."

"The short rib tacos are a must try."

"One of the classic LA burger joints."

"A bit ritzy for my taste in general, but the food is really excellent."
