Street parking can be tough on Franklin: Definitely take advantage of the motel's free underground lot.

This place is great to go to with a group. They won't write up separate checks, but they will tally up individual orders on one check so it's easier for people to pay their share. The food is quite good for classic American style coffee shop food. There's a lot of healthy options on the menu too.

Our local diner spot, this place makes some of the best fries in LA, sort of wide cut regular fries and thin shoestring sweet potato fries together. Decent vegetarian menu, including a portabella mushroom burger that's pretty good. But nothing here is really all that lowfat, so if you're on a diet order carefully. Really good smoothies: pick your base juice and then your fruits. There's a selection of old skool candies at the register up front. Parking in the lot to the side, or around the corner; follow the 'hotel parking' signs. For a star-gazing treat, check out the walls on the corridor past the lobby leading to the parking lot: there are neat things like signed uncashed checks from celebs and more.

This gallery offers contemporary and traditional American Indian silver and turquoise jewelry, Pueblo pottery, Navajo weavings, and Hopi kachina dolls.

Back when East Hollywood was "the Eastside," 101 Coffee Shop was the center of it all, especially for night owls craving soyrizo and pancakes. And nothing has changed. Somehow this place is a perennial. The food's okay, but it must be the star alignment or something in the air that keeps it this cool. Always a show, sometimes with real, live celebrities.

LA's #1 late night hang, according to Zagat guide. Breakfast, lunch or dinner until 3AM! An essential location for creative types of all stripes.
