Several older restaurants. Philippes has good "french dipped" sandwiches. Yours truly remembers the "Nippa Hut" which was near Alvarado @ 3rd. Excellent Thai food. May have closed in the late 1980s. Others that come to mind: Pantry downtown, Cliftons downtown, Duck Press, Sambos, Magic Pan Restaurants, Clearwoods North Inn Rosemead (naked lady statues), Farrel's Ice Cream, Feel Goods in Washington Bl Pasadena, Flaming Skewer (may still be in Whittier), Dinos and Scarantinos, etc.

Clifton's is still there and I ate there just a couple years ago. I think it is really a nice place for lunch and maybe as more people move into lofts downtown, it might become a popular restaurant at nights like it used to be.
I remember Farrel's and Sambos! Wow, it's been a long time... The Pantry is still there but it is not nearly as good as it used to be. A neighbor of ours worked there for nearly 35 years. Clifton's is still allright.
