Incrediblly rich Ramen bowls and other delights with a CHez Panisse pedigree. Great (if loud scene) for a beer when you inevitably have to wait for a table.

If you want jazz vinyl, this place is quite the experience. Be careful as you squeeze through stacks of old LP's in search of your treasure. If you liked High Fidelity or Michael Chabon's "Telegraph Ave." you'll love this place

If you are a car nut this amazing place will be a must visit even if you can't afford a $10 million Ferrari. Better than most museums and free to visit. Just be careful not to scratch anything. Its no coincidence that Pixar (Cars) is right across the street.
