Downtown Eats

Go pick up a free copy of this week's free Downtown News before it's gone. This week's issue includes a glossy 2004 Restaurant Guide that's one of the most thorough listings I've seen of where to eat downtown.

Oh, it doesn't quite list everything -- it's still an ad-supported list, after all, so a few eateries like Ciudad aren't included. But otherwise, it includes a solid laundry list of restaurants Maria and I either like or have been meaning to try: Engine Co. No. 28, R-23, CBS Seafood, Traxx, Cicada, Water Grill, Phillipe the Original, Pete's Cafe & Bar, Farmer Boys, the San Antonio Winery and a lot more.

It even lists pastrami capital Langer's. Although, I love how they sugarcoat things: "For diners on the go, Langer's has an ingenious curbside service. Customers call ahead with the type of car they're driving and the denomination they'll be paying with, and the staff will come out with a piping hot brown bag and correct change as soon as they see the caller's car pull up."

Yeah, it's called the "Service for Westsiders Too Scared to Get Out of Their Car in MacArthur Park."
