I agree with Laura H., the food here is consistently good. My favorite is the Lentil Soup, it's flavorful and rich. They have a lot of vegetarian options, like the Vegetarian's choice platter which comes with hummus, baba ganoush, tabouleh and a grape leaf. It's a great value for $9.00. Sometimes the parking can be a bit of a pain, but it's one of the only places that's open late where you can actually get something healthy to eat. Next time you're in the neighborhood, this place is definitely worth a try. I've taken a bunch of people there and always to rave reviews.

If you haven't tried M Cafe, you should. The food is some of the lightest, freshest stuff around. Every bite you take feels like you're doing something good for yourself. It's the perfect place to meet friends for a light lunch, or grab a healthy desert to satisfy your sweet tooth. I'm a big fan of coffee, and their lattes and cappuccinos are quite yummy. My favorites are the ginger carrot soup , the lotus corn chowder soup and their pasta with tomatoes and basil. Personally, I don't reccomend the quinoa salad, it's a bit bland and the quinoa is a little too hard for my taste. They do have a parking lot, but it does fill up during rushes. If you're craving something light and fast, this is the place.

I had been dividing my coffee cravings between the burnt stuff at Starbucks and the so-so stuff at Coffee Beanery, until I discovered that Groundworks had a place in the LA artist's district near Little Tokyo. Oh joy of joys! As soon as I found out I marched over there to have a lovely latte and a vegan brownie. They have a large selection of sandwiches (though I have yet to have one) and baked goods (vegan brownies!), and their coffee actually tastes like coffee! It's smooth and rich and delicious. I love the ambiance in this place, it has wood all over and plenty of indoor and sidewalk tables. The staff is friendly and they know how to ice my 1/2 decaf. Word to the wise- parking is a pain, but well worth the effort if you've been living on Starbucks for goodness knows how long. If you're just popping in to pick up something to go, I usually just park in front with the hazards on.

I work in the area near Ay Caramba, and anyone that does too knows how hard it is to find a good spot to eat. I personally love this little artist's district and was very disappointed when my hopes for a nearby Mexican spot were dashed. The service was weird (when I asked for a bowl of soup, the waiter told me he thought I'd eaten enough), the food was bland, and unfortunately it's one of those places that charges 5 bucks for guacamole that's "freshly made", but sorely disappoints. Who ever is cooking here must have been born without taste buds because everything lacked flavor. Parking near impossible in this neighborhood, and after today's experience I won't be going back. Oh yea, the chips are GREEEEEEASY.

I went to Golden China because I read a review on another site and was delighted. It's an older restaurant, and when we walked in it was filled with families and groups of friends chowing down on great smelling food. Everything on the menu can be made without MSG. The hot and sour soup was delicious and they have an extensive vegetarian menu (it's separate so you have to ask for it). I had their veggie Orange Chicken and it was very tasty. Their prices are totally fair ranged from 6 to 10 dollars for the entrées. Parking is easy too.

GreyOne carries everything from the Adidas "Adicolor" line for men to the hard to find lines like Charlotte Ronson and Hysteric Glamour for women. Keep in mind there's are price to pay for all this "rare exclusivity" and it's a high one. Great place to get Puma and Nike gear too. Not for the mall shopper, you'll definitely find something you haven't seen before in this sleek, minimal directional boutique.

I've eaten here several times and have had satisfactory meals. I feel that for the price, since Indian food is usually a lot cheaper, the food could be better. Don't get me wrong it's still pretty good. If you don't eat dairy make sure to let the waiters know and be prepared because service can be slow on a busy night. The parking is convenient and the Spring Dosa is prob. my favorite thing on the menu. For the money, I prefer India Sweets and Spices on Venice Blvd, near by. Great place to catch some Bollywood videos.

I was the Creative Director for Swork all 2005 and having a great latte became something I took for granted. Now that I work in an industrial district where the closest cup of any coffee is a 3 mile drive, I realize how much I appreciate a really good cup of coffee. The beans are fresh, they actually care about keeping the espresso machine clean and the espresso sweet and they bother to learn your name and your "usual" order. Best of all they take criticism and use it to really learn about their business, so if you ever have a complaint you can take it to the manager or straight to the owner and they really listen and care about what you have to say. I can't wait until their franchise program is off the ground and I can have a Swork closer to home.

Skylight is what you've come to expect from an independent bookstore, a knowledgeable staff, a great selection of magazines (though sadly no Japanese titles like Cutie), and the must for any bookstore located in an "artsy" neighborhood- a good graphic design and clip art book section. Whether you want to pick up some cute, design-y stationary for a friend, a quirky birthday card, a Dover clip art book or a really great art book, Skylight has what you need. Not to mention they have some great speakers come through. Went to see Aimee Bender there, which was a treat.
