So you're in Hollywood and you are hungry. Where do you eat? Don't try it on Metro Rail or the busses.
It is illegal to eat on the public transits in L.A. Just as well, you wouldn't want to do that. There are lots of fast food places and some old fashioned nice restaurants.
All along Hollywood Blvd. are one-of-a-kind establishments offering falafels and pizza and hamburgers. You will also find the usual suspects. There is a Kentucky Fried Chicken
on Vine Street about three blocks South of Sunset. Shakey's Pizza is on Santa Monica just a block East of La Brea. Also the places pictured below are near Hollywood Blvd.
Burger King is located on Highland just North of Hollywood Blvd. (This one is gone but the memory remains.) Try 7079 W. Sunset. Hamburgers, french fries and Value Meals are the specialties. They also have onion rings and chicken sandwiches and whatever you might need for a fast lunch. The design motif was borrowed from a 1955 Chevrolet. You can watch traffic going to the Valley by looking from the window as you munch. | 
Two Guys From Italy, 6700 Block of Hollywood Blvd. This place has been here on Hollywood Blvd. near Las Palmas since the 70s. They sell pizza by the slice. It is a good place for buying food you don't mind eating while you stand up. Buy something to take along as you walk down the sidewalk. |
Pig'N Whistle Restaurant, 6700 Block of Hollywood Blvd.
More
expensive than fast food but a nice bar/restaurant atmosphere.
Right on the Boulevard so you can be fancy and not have to valet park. Just walk in. Always busy. They have patio dining. $4.00 french fries, $10 hamburgers.(Those are 2002 prices. Expect to pay much more today.) |
Molly's, South of Hollywood Blvd. one block on Vine StreetThis building has been here since the days of The Brown Derby which used to be just across the street. Not much room for sitting down with a big family but if there is just you and maybe a friend this is cozy. Lots of Hollywood history in this area. |
