High praise, in fact, too high. But hyperbole aside, LA truly is a GREAT and amazingly diverse restaurant city, and many of the top restaurants are in the downtown area. Olvera Street If you have a few hours, I suggest a walk to the Union Station (800 N. Alameda St.) and stroll through the magnificent building, then walk a block north to Olvera Street for some old LA and see the roots of this great city (many shops selling Mexican goods and gifts to bring home to the family), then a short walk to the Italian American Museum (644 N. Main St.) to see what is on exhibit (everything is one or two blocks away from this town). End your adventure at Philippe The Original (1001 N. Alameda St) for old LA. The restaurant dates back to 1908 and is where the French Dip Beef Sandwich was invented! Great diner-type food but you must try the French Dip Beef Sandwich (ask for a double- dip, which means both sides of the bun are dipped in the beef au jus).

  • 2012 Scrw Booklet Guts.Indd
    38th Annual Awards Booklet 2011 - 2012 Southern California Restaurant Writers The Southern California Restaurant Writers, a California non-profit organiza- tion, was established thirty-eight years ago by Doris Crandall. The ultimate goal is to aid and improve the restaurant industry in the Southern California area. To further this goal, SCRW awards individuals and restaurants whose standards of quality and service have been found to be of special merit. 2011 marks our 37th year presenting awards to restaurateurs, their management and staff members for outstanding dedication in this industry. SCRW publishes for the general public the recipients of these awards and also features the information on their website- www.southerncaliforniarestaurantwriters.com. In an effort to advance the education of worthy individuals in the fields of restaurant service, enology, and the culinary arts, SCRW established a scholarship program, now called The Doris Crandall Scholarship Fund. Since its inception the scholarship program, which is administered by SCRW, has donated in excess of one hundred twenty-five thousand dol- lars to recipients that in past years have included students attending and participating in various culinary programs available at community colleges in Southern California including San Bernardino Valley College, Orange Coast Collage, Golden West College, Glendale College, Riverside Community Col- lege, Santa Barbara Community College, and the Oxnard College Founda- tion. Our process of evaluation is based on a point system. Those restaurants that receive eighty to one hundred points, based on a number of categories- food, service, appropriate beverages, parking, and ambiance, create a very distinct group that we honor with our annual awards banquet.

She said her beloved pet had been missing for five or six days when a neighbor called her and said she found Wally’s body on her lawn. “When I saw that cat and how he’d been killed, I knew it was a coyote,” Rotblatt said. “It was the same night that a white duck was killed by a coyote in the park. And my neigh- bor said she had heard a huge fight happen between a cat and coyotes in the bushes out- side her window.” LOCAL BOYS Brandon Wise [email protected] Wally isn’t the first cat in recent memory Drummer Anthony Logerfo of the band Venice warms up with the rest of the group at Thursday night's Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series.

  • Pacific Dining Car Restaurant DTLA | Santa Monica
    Pacific Dining Car Restaurant DTLA | Santa Monica Our History 1921 - That's When It All Started The Pacific Dining Car was born in a railway train car parked on a rented lot in downtown Los Angeles… 1921, It was a very good year for the busy city of Los Angeles, and all of Southern California. It started with a good omen. The California Bears soundly defeated Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, to the delight of the local newspapers, who scornfully declared that the Ohio team wasn't even in the same league as "Our Boys." New oil fields were virtually an every-year discovery in the basin, but June 1921 brought in the kind of find every wildcatter dreams about: the gushing riches of Signal Hill. It was the heyday of the " Red Car." Henry Huntington's Pacific Electric Company ambitiously laid tracks all over Southern California, boasting over 1,200 miles of railways by the mid-twenties. Shrill trolley whistles were an ubiquitous sound throughout the southland, as the little cars careened along at 45 to 55 miles an hour, delivering passengers, mail and morning papers. And Angels Flight was in fine feather, carrying hundreds of delighted passengers every day. Land speculation was booming and reached its frenzied peak in ' 24, going bust in ' 25. The Los Angeles census zoomed from an official 576,000 in 1920 to an estimated one million in 1924. Of that, more than 43,000 were real estate agents, prompting Will Rogers to observe, "Why, they are thick as boot-leggers. Your having no money don't bother them, if they can just get a couple of dollars, or an old overcoat, or a shotgun.
