Gonna be in L.A. Jan 6, 09, 7:22 a.m.

For a couple days next week for a work thing. Might have a little free time. Any reccomendations for anything interesting or god eats? My boss will want to do the glitzy bar thing where you see celebs, but that's not my thing really.

Any suggestions for:
food - hole in the wall local treasure type places
people watching
strange collecting and/or memorabilia type places
