I've got jury duty this week downtown at the courthouse on Hill and 1st....any recs for lunch walking distance from my civic duty? Quiznos or Mickey D's just ain't gonna cut it....

Despite having lived in Hollywood for some time now, I still haven't found a really great wine bar! I'm looking for a place like Vinoteca Farfalla in Los Feliz....we can sit at the bar, get great wines by the glass, cheese plates and the like to nosh on. Any suggestions in my (relative) neck of the woods?

I live in Hollywood and would love some suggestions for good first date places when he says "Do you have a favorite place near you?" (Does Cactus #1 on Vine count? Help!)

Casual (not bank breaking) food and/or great place to grab a drink (preferably wine).....

Bonus round: This week's bachelor lives in Hermosa Beach....any suggestions for somewhere fun halfway?

Thanks!!
