Ajisen Ramen
Order
number 7 (curry noodles with pork cutlet) and gyozas, but arrive early, the line gets long.

Berolina Bakery & Pastry Shop
On
the border of Glendale and Montrose is a great two-some: Berolina's where we used to have espressos after dropping off my Ducati three doors down and Schriener's Market. The bakery, in addition to being
the spot for the annual stollen drive (think Pamplona's diversion, but instead of bulls it's blonde housewives), has great breads (the olive loaf is highly recommended, no slouch; strong olives with a tangy
bite) and pastries, including delectable clafoutis, and the killer Swedish Delights -- cookies that melt in your mouth like baked cotton candy.

Schreiner's Fine Sausages
Schreiner's
(directly next door to Berolina's) makes sandwiches but is really the place for fresh sausages, made on site and just the thing for breakfast or the grill. The ham is great, too.
