631250 Wed Jun 24 12:10:21 -0700 2009 13 2 Los Angeles Area 0 4802476 Thx for the suggestions on my last post for bars around here..Is there even a young bar crowd in this Pico Robertson neighborhood?Clearly a heavy Jewish population with all of the Kosher restaurants ..seems like not many spots to go out for a beer..think my gf has talked me into moving to no man's land but she swears there are a ton of young people living around here?????? Wed Jun 24 12:10:21 -0700 2009 1087563 joshbux 1 4803057 I think everyone is just up Fairfax a bit at Golden State, the Kibitz Room, Lola's and the Dime. Wed Jun 24 14:36:24 -0700 2009 4802476 12460 Chowpatty 1 4803089 yes that exact area is no mans land. but good news is you are within 15 minutes to all the good spots. culver city is 5 minutes away..they have Backstage bar there..plus a lot of other spots along that main street. you are close to fairfax/3rd street area thats full of options..you are right smack in the middle of LA. Wed Jun 24 14:46:00 -0700 2009 4802476 18267 samtron608 1 4803150 I live down the street from you on La Cienega. You are in prime real estate, you can really get to any point in LA in an LA minute. Olympic and pico can get you to the westside, culver city is just down the street on Roberston.Tons of bars and places to eat. Farmers market is a 10 minute bike ride away. hollywood is a cab ride away. You have a great music venue in the mint down the street. La Brea is busy, you can walk to il gellato on robertson for some cheap eats -- dont fret - just go searching. Wed Jun 24 15:12:26 -0700 2009 4802476 70672 ghozimoto 2 4805548 Yeah I know what you're talking about with a no man's land. There's a place down the road about Robertson/Pico, it used to be called "The Joint" but it's changed names, I think you can get a beer there in the evening, and they have music. For food, check out Got Kosher, they have awesome BBQ on Sunday. Jeff's Sausage Factory is pretty good. I love Natalie Thai, and around the corner is Chef Ming's Kitchen (Olympic and Doheney) which is super good take out Chinese (they cook it all from scratch) Thu Jun 25 10:43:45 -0700 2009 4803150 217887 carly_mizzou 1 4828252 Bloom Cafe is solid and pretty close. 5544 Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90019 Fri Jul 03 18:18:24 -0700 2009 4802476 112173 rftc2121 1 4828454 Al Gelato (310) 659-8069 806 S Robertson Blvd Outstanding Gelato, great pizzas & pastas. I also enjoy their soups & sandwiches. Cash only Fri Jul 03 20:36:25 -0700 2009 4802476 41278 MahiMahiFish 1 4828552 Stand on the corner of Pico/Robertson (north/west corner to be exact) smell the smoke and enjoy!There is a cool kabob place in the alley that runs behind that makes that smoke.. There is a Kosher Butcher on Pico between Robertson and the next block west ( dont know the name ) but enter there or thru the alley. You will not be bummed. They have cooking over hardwood coals and its mighty tasty. Order anything. 1 plate can feed 2 for less than $10 or so... Fri Jul 03 21:49:42 -0700 2009 4802476 97161 Foodandwine 1 4829812 There's a place right around there that sells these delicious cheese pockets with stuff in them - I can't remember what it's called - anyone know what I'm talking about? I like Tuk Tuk for Thai and La Provence on Olympic for croissants. Oh, but you were looking for beer? Yeah, there's not so much of that. Sat Jul 04 14:42:11 -0700 2009 4802476 59549 aching 2 4829826 You may be thinking of Bibi's Warmstone Bakery. They are right next to Jeff's Gourmet Sausages and they do "sambusak" (pizza pocket like things/Israeli-style calzone). Bibi's Warmstone Bakery 8928 W Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90035 (310) 246-1788 Sat Jul 04 14:48:23 -0700 2009 4829812 108169 Servorg 3 4829832 Link Sat Jul 04 14:51:07 -0700 2009 4829826 108169 Servorg 1 4830275 No particular bar crowd that I know of. But you're near my favorite Chinese restaurant, Fu's Palace. On Pico one block east of Robertson. Sat Jul 04 20:49:18 -0700 2009 4802476 12509 Hackenbush 2 4832979 Really cool bar in the La Cienega art gallery district is Mandrake at 2692 S La Cienega Blvd. Also, a great Italian meal of home made pastas and fresh ingredients can be had at Cafe Bella Roma SPQR on South Robertson...it's reasonably prices and you bring your own wine. Culver City is so close and filled with yong people. I recommend Father's Office, Ford's Filling Station, Bottle Rock, Gyenari, Fraiche and Beacon. Mon Jul 06 08:38:34 -0700 2009 4830275 118428 holleygolitely 1 4847725 I live in the same area and echo the sentiments of others. We are well positioned within 15 minutes of Ktown, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City and the westside. For LA thats not that bad of a drive and you can taste the world. If you're looking for places within 7 blocks of the area here are some suggestions La Provence for breakfast, brunch and pastries Tuk Tuk Thai Toppings for froyo and traditional frozen yogurt Fri Jul 10 16:06:33 -0700 2009 4802476 49222 js76wisco
