It has a funny name, but this is one of my favorite places. On the bottom floor is the H.M.S. Bounty restaurant ("food and grog"), an old nautical themed place where old-time celebrities used to hang out. The booths have plaques above them with names of people who used to to sit in them. People like Winston Churchill and William Randolph Hearst. Its a low key, quiet place, which makes it amazing. It is right next door to where the Brown Derby used to be, and across the street from where the Ambassador hotel once was, where Robert Kennedy was shot.
