February Swanking - Oscar Shorts at the Egyptian - February 24, 4:00 pm

[AndrewBanks]

Lucky Devils. Walkable next to Geisha House. Upscale, more organic comfort food owned by Lucky Vanous, u remember him as the hot white guy w/ great abs who shilled for Diet Coke in the late 90's. Food is really good, all kinds of unusual artisan beers on tap and great staff, friendly.

also, Cafe Des Artistes for French Bistro about 2 blocks south of Egyptian. Fun atmosphere.

Yamashiros great for drinks and view if it's clear. But is filled w/ tourists and first-daters, anniversary parties, bridal parties, convention types, but they have revamped menu as Cal-Asian in past couple of years.

25 degrees in front of Roosevelt also upscale, deliciious hamburgers from veggie to Kobe beef and incredible ingredients.

Musso's fine for a martini and Geisha House fun to look at but food kind of forgettable as it's really waiting every night to bring out the velvet ropes and exclude a few folks!

Also, Hwd will be TOUGH to get into that day as many streets will start to close and lanes and such so plan on getting there earlier so ur not all tainted w/ sweat and such.
