660330 Sat Oct 17 14:52:03 -0700 2009 12 2 Los Angeles Area 0 5110820 any suggestions for easy, not too expensive but good for after a movie? Sat Oct 17 14:52:03 -0700 2009 149120 njkanter 1 5110872 Try Pastina on Westwood Blvd. between Pico and Olympic for reasonably priced Italian food (pastas are especially good) or Tlapazola on Gateway for Oaxacan food. Sat Oct 17 15:17:11 -0700 2009 5110820 1117098 ElenaBarcia 1 5110937 Westside Tavern is the obvious choice - right next to the theater, AND it's Chow-worthy. It's not overly expensive at all. Sat Oct 17 15:45:21 -0700 2009 5110820 11933 J.L. 2 5111136 Second this. Great drinks too. Sat Oct 17 17:26:18 -0700 2009 5110937 1111160 LATrapp 2 5118226 but it's impossibly crowded on the Weekend evenings - lines are like the Cheesecake factory. If you time it right, you'll be o.k. on the weeknights. Tue Oct 20 15:16:01 -0700 2009 5110937 13416 ElissaInPlaya 1 5110985 The Apple Pan is just across the street. Really good burgers and pie. An LA landmark. Sat Oct 17 16:09:31 -0700 2009 5110820 234367 wienermobile 2 5111172 First place that came to my mind as well. Get the hickory burger and don't forget a slice of banana cream pie for dessert Sat Oct 17 17:41:19 -0700 2009 5110985 97644 ReelMike84 1 5111072 How about Gyu-Kaku across the street? Or Alcazar Express on Westwood and Wellworth? Maybe Nook on Santa Monica, a little further away? Sat Oct 17 17:01:28 -0700 2009 5110820 101478 beezees 2 5111133 although nook is a favorite of this board, i would respectfully recommend against it if you have any intention of ordering fish. Sat Oct 17 17:24:01 -0700 2009 5111072 11935 westsidegal 3 5111467 La Serenata is just down the street and is pretty reasonable. Westside Tavern is very good but a bit more expensive. Sat Oct 17 20:46:17 -0700 2009 5111133 26816 handlertaper 1 5112221 Just a small point, but The Landmark Theaters on Pico near Westwood Blvd. are in WLA and the Landmark owned Regent Theater is on Broxton in Westwood (Village). So, assuming like everybody else, you meant WLA, then within easy walking distance (as you have free parking in the Westside Pavillon) and not previously mentioned so far: Jaipur - Indian http://www.jaipurcuisineofindia.com/ Sun Oct 18 10:23:24 -0700 2009 5110820 11205 JBC 2 5112369 second jaipur for indian. i especially like their carrot pickle condiment. . . . Sun Oct 18 11:29:11 -0700 2009 5112221 11935 westsidegal 3 5118230 I agree that Jaipur is a decent choice, if you are in the neighborhood. Their eggplant curry is especially good.
