  1. However, having read the descriptions in the Mansfield piece and of the desserts at Sona, I'm no closer to being convinced that the California pastry chef community is doing much. I mean, based on descriptions alone, most of these desserts sound pretty basic.

    Dessert is for tourists.

  2. Two other downtown places that occur to me are: Senor Fish, on the edge of Little Tokyo at 424 E. 1st Street, 213/625-0566, go for the fish tacos (that's the best thing they have) and 410 Boyd, located at 410 Boyd in the Toy District, 213/617-2491, a hip place to have seared ahi and other minimalist fusion things. In either case, call for the hours of operation.

  3. Langer's makes a great pastrami on rye and you can get a Dr. Brown's Black Cherry to drink. It's only open til 4:00 pm and it's closed Sundays. You can drive there (7th & Alvarado) and there's a nearby parking lot where they validate for 1 hour. It's perfectly safe till 4:00 pm. You may detect the odor of urine or rotting garbage as you walk the short block from the parking lot to Langer's but in addition to local color you get local odor.
