I was downtown last weekend and saw a family on bikes looking for a restaurant, but since they didn't know where to go, stopped well short of any restaurants.

Here in L.A., you can't get a decent Chicago-style pizza. Hot dogs, yes, but not pizza. We had a Pizzeria Uno in the Northridge Fashion Center mall a few years ago. Now, it's another sushi joint. Like we need another sushi joint! Lazzara’s

I used to work there in the early 70s when both movie theaters were still open, and it pulled lots of that traffic in. The Martini Room was a good idea but their music, after the first couple of months, has been ear-splitting (and thus you have to yell to someone next to you to converse) everytime we've been there since, and now we've given up on it until we hear it's changed. Let's hope Villa Verone does well and more restaurants with live music are tempted to take a chance. Enrico’s Spicy Meatball was the best pizza in town.
