Johnna's Pick of the Week-Travel Edition- CAL-FOR-NI-A

Food, Drinks, Dancing...Oh, My!!

Table 8

Chef Govind has it under control here. Classic California cuisine meets the urban feel of New York. The pompano lobster bisque will make you want to make another trip to the Western coast and try this all over again. Or if that wasn’t enough, lounge around the bar with the cheese and pulled short ribs. While lounging around this spot, you’ll see in LA where the East meets the West and have a full stomach while taking it all in.

*Honorable Mentions

The Gaffey Street Diner: They seek to serve a whole army with one plate. Just kiddingJ. But really, this place gives you your moneys worth. For under $10 bucks you can have the 3 largest pancakes on this side of the Port with a side of eggs, bacon and coffee if you like. Plan to be full. Very full.

Pinks: The Rosie O’ Donnell dog…dee-lish! On your road to Hollywood, I mean literally to Hollywood, stop and taste the best hot dogs in Los Angeles.

Fisherman’s Wharf: A seafood foodies dream. Cracked whole crabs for under $10, lobster cracked and steamed fresh for under $20 and clam chowder made fresh and served in bread bowls. A seafood dream comes true!
