The Original Pantry is on Figueroa down by the Staple Center and Nokia
Theater ("LA Live," as per the LA City Council hype), unless that's
not the *original* Original Pantry. Bunch of surly old guys for
waiters and the atmosphere of a soup kitchen, but the food's pretty
good. IIRC, former Mayor Hahn owns (owned) it. Bill and I often stay
at the Holiday Inn on Fig when go to concerts at the Staple Center of
Nokia, although that's gonna change now that the Marriott's open.
Anyway, you can't get into the Pantry on the weekend - a line snakes
out the door and down the street.
