everything is walking distance from the legion. yau's is a decent suggestion, but i'm also vegan, and there are much better options in the area.

ali baba is the best falafel in town, and the combo gets you fries and a drink under $6. can't go wrong, plus it is next door to and below used kids records. if you're in the mood for a burrito, there's la bamba, which is also near used kids. they tout "burritos as big as your head," and they're not joking. the super burrito is a honkin' slab of 'rito, the veggie (i usually remind them no cheese no sour cream, just in case) comes with refried beans, rice, A WHOLE AVOCADO, hot sauce, and some lettuce/tomato/onion inside, for the traditional mexican fix. most of these places are open late too, later on weekends. mad mex is the place to go for post-show grub, if the show ends early. [mostly] half price menu after 10pm, but the kitchen closes at midnight. if you score a table in time, you can eat like a king for $5!! also, they have vegan cheese, soy sour cream, and tofu burritos. not traditional mexican by any stretch, but really good for what it is. and is only a stones-throw from the legion.

if you need any help, i live at the legion just ask me when you get here...
