Musso and Franks
Musso and Frank's has been around Hollywood for the last 80 years, and stepping into this restaurant feels like time travel. The waiters look like they have been around for decades, and they are sweethearts. It's kind of expensive to come here and eat a full meal, and not quite worth the price. You should come here for drinks (great martinis!) and appetizers.

I'm not listing any hotels, because you'd be nuts to LIVE in Hollywood. But if you want to eat there, why not try one of the remaining 'old Hollywood' places, where the stars once hung out, maybe a few still do, and you can just sort of feel 'the business' in the atmosphere.
Mussos (6667 Hollywood Blvd (323)467-5123) is pricy and get get snotty. But what the hell. The lamb chops are good. Or just grab a martini and rubberneck.
Chasen's Hollywood Cafe (1600 Highland (323)464-7776) still has that old air, even though Liz and the film colony no longer hang around. Worth a stop in honor of the studio system.
