The Hat, various - very yummy pastrami sandwiches - and split the fries or onion rings. Trust me.
Philippe's, across from Union Station - beef, lamb, (etc.) dips
Ye Olde King's Head, Santa Monica - GREAT fish and chips and Guiness, Harp, and Bass on draft

My Regional Favorites:

Blossoms - our favorite florist

Angel's Flight - a little funicular railway on Bunker Hill in Los Angeles
Vroman's Bookstore - the local bookstore where my parents got all of our book birthday and Christmas presents
OpAmp Technical Books - You wanted a tecnnical book? They've got it!
Griffith Observatory - The city's observatory. Very cool architecture. And if the star projector is ever missing, I swiped it! As a kid, I thought that it didn't get any better than that!
