Even before I got to UCLA, I'd heard of the famous Diddy Riese cookies - delicious yet cheap. Now, every time friends from other schools visit UCLA, this is the one place I make sure to take them to. And each time, they leave with bags full of cookies to take back to their friends and family. Definitely worth the walk down to Westwood (and the mere dollar for 3 cookies or an ice cream sandwich).

Considered by some as the mere little sibling of UC Berkeley, UCLA has become one of the premier universities in the world. The cutting-edge research I have encountered through my professors and the stimulation of thought and analysis. What sets UCLA apart from other leading universities, however, is the unmatched success of its athletics programs, from the storied basketball team to the defending national champion men's tennis team to the up-and-coming football team, not to mention all the other sports. Balance and depth is a staple of the UCLA athletics program, and it is reflected in its academics as well. Simply a top-notch school.

The buffalo wings are a must-try, for localers and visitors alike. So is, fittingly, the pizza. Those two selections alone can satisfy even the most avid wing and pizza aficionados. The lesser known sandwiches - especially the pastrami sandwich - are just as good. Anyone near the area should definitely give it a try.

I pass by Del Taco often and rarely see a lot of customers. What is the deal, Walnut-ers? Their chicken burritos taste much better and are less oily than Taco Bell's, and of course you can not forget about the soft tacos. Although they aren't 39 cents like they used to be, the value and taste are still there. We need to support Del Taco in Walnut.

A friend of mine took me down to Mongols for dinner one night. Not only was it the best Mongolian BBQ place I've ever been to, but the unique method of stuffing as much beef, pork, and chicken as possible into one bowl was a blast in itself. The service was prompt, courteous, and satisfying.

I discovered the goodness of Taco Factory several years ago, and haven't stopped going since. Whenever I am at a loss of where to eat, one of the first placed that comes to mind is Taco Factory. The Factory Combo Burritos are huge, challenging, and SCRUMPTIOUS. Mexican food lovers, this is the place for you. Add a Pina Colada with the esteemed Super Nachos, and you'll have a meal you won't forget for a while.
