There are restaurants and bars near by that are not expensive
Yes.
The W hotel has a restaurant and is right across the street. Real good food. It is not that cheap though.
Katsuya and Delphines are nearby. Reasonably priced and good food
There's a healthy place like 2 doors from Pantages to eat, I don't recall name, but it was reasonable. I purchased "pesto pasta with kale" $6.00 and worth it, it was delicious!
There's a "Hollywood Burger" across the street. Greasy, but good. That's where I ate, so I don't know what other options there are. Also, a Starbucks on the corner.
