For Hollywood blockbusters this is the spot. Good popcorn and hotdogs. Also look for special screenings in the dome. I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey and it blew my mind.

This is a gem of a place in deepest Burbank. Head for the valley and eat chili (chicken or beef, hot or mild) with spaghetti and beans. Sounds odd but it is the bomb and the place is a trip.

Essentials
Aside from being exceptionally priced for good quality food. Trader Joe's on Hyperion is a spectacle of "hipsters shopping for groceries". A book should be produced. Wine is cheap and good too.
