Los Angeles is a large, bustling city known for its movie stars and celebrities. But the city also is home to great seafood restaurants. Many feature fresh-catch-of-the-day specials and ocean views.
The Hungry Cat
The Hungry Cat brings an East Coast flavor to the West. Oysters, crab cakes and clams are local favorites, but you also can order a burger or surf-and-turf. Sunday brunch attracts a crowd, and you can sit on the back patio and take in the California sunshine when it's not too hot. Located in the middle of downtown Hollywood, the setting is casual.
