Known for its pizza, made with traditional ingredients. The pasta dishes are also good and follow traditional recipes.
Open since 1958, the restaurant offers reasonably priced Mexican food with strong but otherwise average margaritas. No reservations, and the wait can be long on weekends.
Open for lunch and dinner. A lively Greek restaurant with good food and dancing waiters. Complimentary valet parking.
Excellent unpretentious and reasonably priced Mexican food, much beloved by Valley natives.
A pricey yet very tasty place, particularly known for its breakfasts. Expect a high-class dining experience and a slightly older crowd.
Good burgers and sandwiches and a great beer selection with a laid-back vibe. Parking is dicey due to a small parking lot and a frequently large crowd.
A good place to experience the natural habitat of the Valley Girl. While it is primarily a hangout and a melting pot for all the valley's youth, the Galleria also houses a popular multiplex called ArcLight featuring over 21 theatres where drinks are allowed, a furniture store, a few clothing stores, and several restaurants. A perfect spot to grab dinner and a movie if you're in the area.
A thrift store popular with the indie scene. A great stop if you've got some clothes to give up, or if you're looking for some cheap new threads. It has a second store in Westwood.
Independent record store with a wide selection of vinyl and CDs, emphasizing rock, jazz, and soul.
Sherman Oaks is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) and US Route 101 (Ventura Freeway).
