Amazing draft beers, craft sausages of every recipe that will knock you out and hand cut Belgian fries - all in the middle of the Little Tokyo Arts District and the shadow of the Southern California Institute of Architecture. Damn, this place is good. You have to wait in line, order and pay, and then grab community seating in the parlor room but it's well worth it.

So brand-new not even the locals know about it yet, healthy and gourmet homestyle coocking from the folks behind Heirloom Catering. It's a little hard to spot on the street but look for the growing group of hipsters dining on the sidewalk and that's probably it. Not open yet on weekends but rumor is they are working on it.

Damn these tamales are great. Here in LA you can get homemade tamales from cooks parked in secret spots but these are made to order and you can get take-out too. This is real Mexican food from an iconic neighborhood spot. Nothing fancy, only delicious and super deal.

If the fact that Mad Men shot there isn't intriguing enough, how about being the birthplace of the French Dip sandwich and having a real prohibition secret room in the joint? There are a lot of folks who hit up Cole's but only the smartest go for the Happy Hour when the Old Fashioned's are made with care ... and slowly ... and the food is almost half off and just as good. Spicy Pickles baby.

Essentials
You can get *most* essentials and really fresh produce here, along with standard beers and wine and spirits. Bring your own grocery bags or you'll have to buy them and speaking Spanish is a big plus with the butchers but far and away this is the very closest store to my house that will serve your needs. You can drive down and up for a quick stop in about 20 minutes. THEY HAVE THE BEST TORTILLAS AND CHIPS IN THE WHOLE HOOD AND THE SALSA WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.

My very favorite market in the neighborhood but it is pricier than most. Large selection of organic and health foods, along with a top-notch butcher. Very large selection of craft wines and beers, but they don't carry spirits. If you're looking for something organic, this is the place. It's a 10 minute drive from my house on the 100 freeway, only a few exits down.
