While not in the immediate area, this store sells some of the best cheeses in LA and they'll curb your growing hunger with a toasted sandwich that always has me returning for more.
If your in Eagle Rock it's so worth a visit.

Downtown and bustling, a quick bite at the bar or reserve a table and simply enjoy the flavors. This is not a quiet dining experience, it is busy and often noisy so it is definitely a place to go when you're intending to continue your night out. If you don't have a reservation and want to take a chance at getting in, they open around 5pm and can often fit you in. Bring your appetite !

IT IS possible to get quite close to the sign, youtube directions and need mind the signs that say no access to the sign, residents understandably want to limit the traffic, but you can park and get a great view of this iconic sign.
