This is the best black coffee. Ever. If you've never had siphon coffee, take 10 minutes to walk to Balconi. The mocha and almond essence lattes are amazing as well! Can't go wrong.

Jenice keeps telling Dante she'll take him to Sushi Stop, which is allegedly one of the best sushi joints in LA. Sadly, this has not happened yet for Dante; Jenice hordes the sushi all for herself.

It's a Starbucks. Dante was a former Starbucks barista (4 years, y'all), and in his professional opinion, Balconi is better, and right across the street. See, it's right THERE on the map!

Ye locale Intelligentsia coffee. Hipsters of the world congregate here. How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? It's a really obscure number, you've probably never heard of it

Best quasi-fast food burger joint. Build your own burger means you get exactly what you want, always. Try the sweet potato fries. Better yet, try them with chili, onions, and cheese. Mmmmm.

The Wellesbourne has many leather bound books and smells of rich mahogany. They serve ritzy cocktails that bring lesser folks to their knees. Which is fine, because it's stumbling distance from home.

On Friday nights, this becomes the most crackin' 80's karaoke joint we've ever seen. Join hundreds of people as they scream Don't Stop Believing and Livin' on a Prayer!

A speakeasy style bar in Hollywood with amazing craft cocktails and some damn good beers on tap. I'm a huge fan of the Smog City Groundworks Porter.
