The Palm - Downtown
Address: 1100 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015 (Map)
The Downtown Los Angeles installment of the venerable Palm empire of restaurants offers delicious steaks, seafood, and Italian specialties in a posh setting. Located at 1100 Flower Street in an enormous space that was formerly a Packard car dealership, the Palm Downtown is the largest in the country. Since 2002 The Palm Downtown has managed to execute the same stellar food that original owners Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi started serving three generations ago in New York City. Today, The Palm Restaurants are still a family business run by the original owners’ great-great-grandsons.

Pitfire Pizza Company
Address: 108 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (Map)
After seven years of success in the North Hollywood Arts District, Paul Hibler and David Sanfield took their Pitfire Pizza concept downtown in 2005. Across from St. Vibiana’s Cathedral and in the shadow of skyscrapers, office workers flood this modern Italian café at lunch for thin-crust pizzas, hearty pastas, and market-fresh salads. At night and on weekends, the rush subsides and Pitfire offers a more relaxed dining experience with the same value. Order at the counter, where a board lists seasonal specials and fresh-baked desserts are on display. To drink, there’s fresh sangria and watermelon lemonade, plus wine and beer.
