Los Angeles has many great burgers to choose from, but few restaurants deliver what 25 Degrees offers -- the convenience of 24 hour operation, the quality of a discerning burger fanatic, and the posh location of the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. You can choose from any of their 3 pre-configured burgers, or you can optionally build your own by choosing your meat, cheese, add-ons, and sauce of choice. The bar is excellent, with many favorites on tap including Stella Artois.
This is another fine example of fast food taken to the next level, as stated by their slogan "Slow Fast Food." By far this is some of the best pastrami I've had, and if you're a total carnivore, definitely don't pass up the Royale, which is essentially a bacon cheeseburger married to a pastrami sandwich. Also, if you're a fan of well-done fries, their Belgian style fries are twice fried, making them extra crispy.
There are a few pretty good coffee shops in the Long Beach area such as Grounds Cafe on Spring St, but none of them have seemed to capture the local art talent like Portfolio Coffeehouse (often referred to as 'Portfolios'). As the name implies, there is definitely an artist theme, including an art gallery usually populated with the work of local artists.
