81626 Thu May 04 21:31:50 -0700 2006 5 2 Los Angeles Area 0 452584 I'm looking for a place to watch the games in the silverlake area, preferably near sunset / junction area. We've been to "Good" a few times (Nicknamed "borderline mediocre" based on food quality) but after they switched from the lakers game to American Idol for the SECOND TIME, I'm looking for a new spot. It would be even better if we found a place with decent food. We don't have TV so we're completely dependent. Help! Thu May 04 21:31:50 -0700 2006 0 mellycooks 1 452592 Taix French Restaurant bar.
