                <description><![CDATA[Lovely restaurant with red-leather booths and old-fashioned American charm in downtown LA.<br>The steaks are as awesome as the atmosphere, coming in at a reasonable $25 with sides in the evening but even cheaper at lunch with the specials.<br><br>Try the cocktails too if you have any cash left in the budget!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Take a drive down to Manhattan Beach. Enjoy the pier and beach, but do not miss out on this fantastic restaurant. It's clean, inexpensive, friendly, with utterly delicious food. They have many tasty dishes suitable for vegetarians (but not vegans), as well as the standard Mexican fare very well prepared. I lived in L.A. for many years and ate there regularly.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Do not be deceived by it's diner-esque front, the cuisine here is of the very highest calibre. I lived in Hermosa Beach for over a year and ate all over Los Angeles only to find this: by far the best restaurant I went to in LA; in my last  week. Mains are $12-$17, but this is a snip for the quality of food and service and for the extremely pleasant atmosphere.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A fabulous Mexican restaurant just off Santa Monica Boulevard. Mariachi waiters and fantastic (and reasonably priced) food. Recommended to us by a Swedish woman who ran a clog shop on La Cienega....]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[An unassuming canopy on west 3rd hides a dimly lit, but atmospheric bar. Serves over 270 types of tequila, great Margarita's and all else until late to a hippish, relaxed LA crowd. Has chic mexican wrestling decor, once your eyes have adjusted to the nice low light. Yum.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This Japanese restaurant perched high above Hollywood Blvd offers spectacular views of the entire LA basin from the ocean to downtown and the mountains.<br><br>Go there for drinks before dinner somewhere else (the restaurant is okay, but overpriced and there are far better Japanese restaurants).  If you've never been to LA before, Yamashiro's view will give you a sense of where everything is in the sprawling megalopolis. Spectacular.]]></description>

Open very late, at the intersection of Hollywood and Gower, a classic soul food joint, open late for those after partying munchies, trust me on this one, from a local, there is nothing better than fried chicken and waffles after a hard night's party.]]></description>
