We share some of the same list, although I've been to Babita and Rustic Canyon and recommend them both. My list adds Animal, Nickel Diner and Elf, plus I want to check out the new Larchmont Larder. And I'm waiting on Boho, because I go to the Arclight whenever possible and would love to have a moderately priced place in which to dissect the movie over good food and drink.
Pat, Noodle House is gone....closed on or about November 16, according to Chowhound. Very sad. (I reviewed it for LAist last year.)
Luscious Dumplings is still open, and worth a visit, but a level below Noodle House....
Here's my list for 2008. Most restaurants weren't newly opened in 2008, but I tried them for the first time in 2008.
I would like to visit the revised Cole's downtown, Speranza (sp?) in Silver Lake which gets the raves and find a new go to Thai place to match Mae Ploy. And I'm hoping the new kabob place in Silver Lake will be decent.
Good choices. Rustic Canyon, Cook's Tortas and Park's are especially good.
I'd also be interested to try Blue Palms and Laurel Tavern, if you'd like to go together.
On the Westside, I'm interested to try Wilshire and AK. Looking ahead, I'm excited for reservoir and Intelligentsia Venice.
In Santa Barbara, I'm convinced Square One would be worth the drive, but haven't found the time to visit yet.
In San Francisco, Heaven's Dog from Charles Phan (Slanted Door) and Urbino from Nate Appleman (A16, SPQR) should both be worth the trip.
Right, Cole's, I forgot about that.
We tried Cook's Tortas yesterday, it was excellent!
I'm trying Animal tonight and Wurstkoush on Wednesday...
