In addition to the usual things (like Yelp), a good guide to the area is the little t, the Caltech undergrad guidebook.

Food

Extraordinary

  • In-n-Out (Various locations about LA, one near Caltech). This should be the first place that you eat. In-n-out has a secret menu, but here are some choice selections:
    • Double-double: 2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese
    • Animal style: Burger is cooked with mustard on it, and has extra sauce and fried onions. Delicious.
    • Neopolitan shake: mixture of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla shakes.
  • Roscoe's (Various locations around LA, one near Caltech). Southern-style food, specializing in chicken and waffles (served together). Order the #1: Scoe's southern style. Eat some of the chicken and waffle in the same bite; it will blow your mind.

The "plates" are an especially good deal and are enough food to make a few wraps; it is enough for about 2 lunches. Try the quarter dark chicken, tarna, shwarema, or falafel plates.
