The Little Door
246 26th StGreat French restaurant. Quite Pricey but worth it!
Great middle Eastern restaurant. Simple restaurant, but really good food. Heaping meze platters & other Middle Eastern fare are the draw at this casual, family-run stalwart.
Note there is also one in Glendale which is a more elaborate dining experience, but we prefer the Hollywood one
