The intimidation factor wears off quickly. Just go chow and have fun, and be GLAD nobody's coming up to you with, like, a ukelele and doing the "welcome to our cuisine" shtick! So long as you're not high-maintanence (expecting tons of hand-holding, shouting into your cellphone, and urging the waiter to HURRY IT UP), you'll be accepted over time. Keep showing up. It feels good.
 
As for my tips...what is the "smiley" for extreme embarrassment? Thing is: I don't know LA well at all. But I'd sure like to. Meanwhile, you've got zillions of major LA mavens (and Jonathan Gold's book...you DO own Gold's book, don't you?) to provide you with the advice you seek. Sorry I can't toss off an insider's tip at you....
