A strangely delicious fast food place nearby. Their specialty and namesake, the Oki Dog, is two hot dogs wrapped in a tortilla with chili, pastrami, and cheese. Delicious if you don't mind heartburn!

Come for coffee, stay for the space. A fun and funky neighborhood coffee bar. Don't bother with the food. Sit upstairs to get a peek into the dance studio next door and watch the ballerinas rehearse.

Los Angeles isn't much for craft brews (too many calories for a celebrity diet, maybe?) so if you want a place with good beer selection, this is your place! Get's crazy crowded around 5pm.
