Message: | Wow, Leslie, you have found a great selection in such a short time. I am eager to read some of your books, too, as we seem to have a similar background. For authentic Thai, try Ruen Pair in Hollywood (no beer or credit cards!). I just found a great sushi bar downtown in Honda Plaza, called Sushi Gen. I've always wanted to try Snug Harbor too, I lived two blocks from there through high school but never went there. If you want a different burger experience in Santa Monica, try Father's Office, there's a whole thread about it on this board. When you lived here before, did you like Campos burritos? They are the food of my youth. Some other favorites which might not have been here when you left: Doughboys on 3rd for great breakfasts and lunches, Mishima for Japanese noodles and such, Hirozen for sushi but also imaginative cooked dishes. Welcome back! |
