If you want a true picture of LA, rent I Love You, Alice B. Toklas. Watch the part where Peter Sellers is trying to move a casket from a funeral home to the cemetery.
Another good one is 405. It's about a young man crusin' the 405 and has a "larger vehicle" come up from behind.

Only in LA.

Just an FYI-I think you need to dress nice for the Lawry's Restaurant-no jeans. :)

That's a a little worse then you can expect from the Hollywood area.

Thankfully it's only that bad if there is a special event like a Bears game. Otherwise, even with Michigan Ave. is backed up you can skate around the traffic on Lake Shore Drive. But when the Bears are playing, all bets are off...you're better off walking.
Lawry's restaurant is indeed affiliated with the spices. We're in their frequent diners club, and when you dine there on your birthday or anniversary they send you a really cute personalized bottle of Lawrys Seasoned Salt or their pepper blend.
