Highlights include the Campanile on LaBrea, created by the founder of the LaBrea Bakery. Don't miss Chapman's Market, the little hidden restaurant mall on 6th Street, or Langer's for that old-fashioned corned beef on rye. And then there is the Baroque oddity the Lowenbrau Keller on Beverly Blvd.

"The Lowenbrau Keller restaurant looks like the kind of place where Wagner would swill stems of lager with a couple of Valkyries. Gold-framed reproductions of enormous 19th-century masterpieces, chipped Greek statues, horribly contorted mannequins in suits of armor, and huge chandeliers fill the room to overflowing. Everywhere there are antlers."-- LA WEEKLY, July 29-August 4, 1994
