After this, I just had to have breakfast at Millie's (and get bread at
the La Brea Bakery.  Oh! the joys of unemployment!)  I'm sorry to say
that the place is safe for the folks from Toledo; the walls are now
filled with childish paintings by Zachary Something, all for sale.
(Most have been sold, so hurry.)

But Millie's (at 3524 Sunset) is quite a find.  It's a funky little
neighborhood restaurant, where everyone gets a friendly "good morning!"
and where it's ok to read the paper after all the food is gone.  I
especially liked the way they did their potatoes.  I never eat potatoes
for breakfast if I can avoid it (spare me the hash browns and grits and
all that), but these were just spicy enough.  The cappuccino was
decent, too.  Millie's seems to come alive later than most breakfast
joints, when the local artists decide to wake up.  Recommended.

Add to the list:

The Rite Spot, on the southeast corner of Fair Oaks and Colorado.
They serve the best Eggs Benedict I've ever eaten, and the atmosphere
is kind of fun, too.  It reminds me of a small town coffee shop, but the
decor is Turkish and Egyptian. They also serve Eggs Blackstone, which is
great, as well as all the usual, but done with a style that I just can't
describe.  It's good, but not nouveau-trendy California food.

The Old Town Bakery, on the southeast corner of Colorado and Pasadena Ave.
They share the courtyard with The Ritz Grill and Papagallo.  
The coffee and brioche are  fabulous... I've never gotten past them, but
I've heard the menu is fabulous.  


ALSO,
Someone else mentioned Burger Continental, on Lake Ave.  If I were you,
I'd avoid the place....It's not clean at all and some of the food 
my friends and I have had there hasn't been pleasant at all.

If you're ever out wandering the streets of Upland and have a hankering for
great ice cream, I recommend Bert & Rocky's Ice Cream Factory.  None of 
this wimpy "lite" stuff either.  This is ice cream for *real* people.
It's on Foothill Boulevard somewhere between Euclid and Mountain.  It's
in a bleak little strip mall next to a survivalist supply shop, on the
north side of the street.  Try the cream cheese chip. It's magic.  If
anyone wants the exact address, let me know and I'll give it to you.  
It's somewhere in my purse and I don't have the time to dig it out at

I know how you feel.  I was on the east coast for 4 years.

The best I've had around here is Western Bagels.  Some super-
markets carry them, but they're not the same as the ones you
get at a Western Bagel store.  You definitely want to visit
one of their stores.  There are many in the SF Valley area.
I know they have some on the West side.  You should be able
to find one in the South Bay, because they even have one
here in Orange County (in Tustin).  I rate their bagels even
better than most (say 80%) on the East Coast (NY, Boston).

They also have their own cream cheese, and it's great.
Obviously, you can find lox, too, there.

There were LOTS of non-existent restaurants on this list--
I counted at least six or seven in Pasadena, including
Billabong which has been closed for at least four years!
Saumya's response was, "Well, maybe it's out of date,
but it's better than nothing," which is, I suppose, 
arguably true.  I didn't notice that the list had a rating
for each restaurant--I'll have to go back and look at it
again.

I don't agree--I've sometimes had croissants there that were

though I can't claim to have tried the croissants at every
new breakfast place in town.

NEW PASADENA COFFEE PLACE ALERT:

Cleo & Cucci's (next door to Mi Piace, on the other side from

I recently had coffee at the Pasadena Baking Company. They had
the best coffee and palmier (although they gave it a goofy
American name). Old Town Bakery also serves breakfast.

No one has yet mentioned Vickman's or the Original Pantry in
downtown LA. These are old line places that have existed forever
and serve great basic American breakfasts. The cinnamon rolls
at Vickman's are wonderful.

Try Western Bagel. In West L.A., their shop is on Santa Monica Blvd, about 2
blocks east of Bundy. Their main shop is on Sepulveda Blvd 1 blk S of Raymer

Well, I don't know what a "yard of beer" means.  I'm going to
assume you're talking about UK beer.  If that's the case,
there is (at the very least):
   King's Head in Santa Monica
   Father's Office in Santa Monica
   Barnie's Beanery (sp?) in West LA (I think ... it's on SM Blvd)

In the SF Valley (in Woodland Hills on Ventura) there is
   Pickwick's

A lot of UK people seem to hang out at Pickwick's.  I like 
Father's because they (used to) have Sierra Nevada on tap.
(Bud and Miller aren't the only American beers.)

If you want good German beer/food, there's 
   The Red Lion
in LA on Glendale Blvd.  Dortmunder Ritterbrau on tap.
Excellent sausage platter, roast pork (I forget the German
name), Wienerschnitzel (sp?).

None of these places are "nice" per se, but they have good
beer.

The _what_ decor?!  We'll just keep that under wraps.

Birdie's, in Old Town, has great muffins and omelets (esp. salmon and
other fish), but so-so coffee and intermittently ditzy waiters.  The
covered patio is a nice place to sit.

Buster's, on Mission at the railroad tracks in South Pas, isn't really
a place to eat a full breakfast, but there's nothing like a cup of
their great cappuccino and a croissant; with a good newspaper you can
sit outside forever, and contemplate why Los Angeles is such a great
place to live, what with these crisp and clear mornings we're having
these days.

Konditori, on Lake, has outdoor seating, and a more European breakfast
menu (get the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries).  Don't sit inside
when the accordionist plays (Sundays?), and avoid the madwoman with the
Gabor wig like the plague.

Some people have a thing for Pie 'n Burger, on California at Lake.  The
motherly, overworked waitresses serve a decent middle-American
breakfast, and you get to socialize at the counter with middle-American
people.  But then, if I wanted a taste of Toledo, I'd move there.

Of course, for sheer atmosphere, nothing beats Caltech's faculty club,
the Athenaeum, for breakfast.  You have to be a member, though, or know
someone who is.

You can get a pretty good bagel and excellent espresso coffee (I haven't tried
their regular coffee) at the Daily Bread and Bagel in Manhattan Beach.  It is
located between Highland and Manhattan Ave. on Manhattan Beach Blvd. (south side
of the street).  It is in a little strip mall in the lower level so it is a
little hard to see from the street, but it is definitely worth checking out.  I
love the place.  They opened about 6 months ago.

It's that time of the year for all the students working on electronics

I'm looking for a set of seven-segment displays I can connect to a

BCD-to-seven-segment decoders, maybe even with the colons.  I wanted

Is this something I can pick up locally?  I've been to Radio Shack

Thanks for any info, this is my first forage for electronics equipment.
