Insider's City Guide: Sony Pictures's Amy Pascal on L.A.
The chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Motion Picture Group has
lived in L.A. all her life.
"The best roast chicken is at Zankou Chicken [5065 West Sunset
Boulevard, 323-665-7842]. It's a little Armenian place in a strip
mall in a really funky part of town - in deep, dark Hollywood, the
part where most people don't roam. But it has the greatest chicken
ever. And I've had roast chicken everywhere, including restaurants all
over Paris. It's so spicy. Make sure you order it with extra garlic
sauce - whipped sauce in those little paper cups. The chicken comes
in a plastic basket with pita bread and the best hummus.
"The best coffee place around is Urth Café [8565 Melrose Avenue,
310-659-0628] in West Hollywood. They have the thickest, thickest,
thickest milky foam on their cappuccino. It's the kind of place where
you'll run into Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal and their dogs. It's
really crowded, but you can sit outside for hours and read."
