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

Only gonna be around a couple days during the week, so nothing weekend-ish I'm afraid. But good suggestions, thanks :)
keep er comin! I love local non-tourist stuff.
BUT, I also like the idea of going to things where classic movie stuff happened. Like, "oh that diner where Jimmy Cagney ate all the time," and shit like that.

-canter's on fairfax, just south of melrose. great sandwiches. saw tommy lasorda here last week.
-the snake pit, small dive bar at melrose and sierra bonita. i used to live a block away. love this place.
-the farmer's market on fairfax and 3rd, i think. lot's of good food, and there's the grove adjacent to it if you need to shop.
-milk on beverly, just east of la brea. good for lunch. great desserts. and the lacma is close if you want to look at some art afterwards.that's all i've got off the top of my head. they're pretty close to where you'll be staying.

philippe starck co-created a sushi place downtown called katsuya.
decent-to-great sushi and exceptional interior design
- and if you're downtown looking for a drink, check out the edison. awesome bar but dress code enforced.Chief
- yeah, edison is radscarabin_net

Depends what part of town you're going to be in. If you're around West Hollywood Barney's is worth a visit.

theres a place east of downtown on main street called Philip's that claims to have invented the french dip sandwich. its pretty classic without being annoying.
- Unless there's a dodgers game on, in which case it is annoying.max_prophet

Bump for the west coast time zone crowd.
Any suggestions for collectors, memorabilia, antiques, or curiosity shops? The stranger the better.
