Wild Oats Cafe: Folks from nearby Paramount Studios crowd the place at lunchtime for fresh fruit smoothies and latte reinforcements. Healthy sandwiches and salads rule Wild Oats Cafe, but that doesn’t stop them from offering sinful desserts like their luscious red velvet cake. Fresh lemonade and iced tea are served with sprigs of fresh mint, which you might need after a long day of strike-chanting.

Astro Burger: Founded in 1974 with a standard menu, this ode to chrome and plastic has evolved into a curious hybrid between a fast-food joint and a veggie haven, with a smattering of Greek and Mexican standards thrown in. The dolmathes are not only perfect for single hand-holding, they fit perfectly between finger and thumb. There's also cheeseburger—with pastrami, if you're in financial denial—or a Garden Dog with veggie chili that you can spill over Paramount's front door.

Village Pizzeria: Finally, a pizza place for overly carb-conscious pizza lovers who can’t completely let go of their addiction, but fear the commitment to thick crusts. Village Pizzeria celebrates the joys of tomato sauce and mozzarella on a thin crust decorated with fresh veggies and homemade sausage. It’s a little slice of heaven, and it'll make you feel like you've just gotten your first 8¢ DVD residual check.
