Well, we’ve tried to eat at Pink’s twice….last time we came to L.A. we couldn’t find the place, and none of the locals seemed too eager to point us in the right direction. But…we found it this time, parked on the side of the road along with a dozen or so other cars, and fell in line with a whole crowd of others. We were pretty hungry, and the line was moving very slow. After about ten minutes of standing in line, we look back and realize to our dismay that every car on the whole street had disappeared, and ours was being towed! We got our car, but the city of L.A. slapped quite a hefty (and I mean hefty) fine on us. It would seem that you can’t park on any of the streets after 4 p.m. now! Nobody bothered telling us! You would think that one of the Pink’s employees would come out and tell people to move their cars, or at least announce it on the intercom. Apparently they just assumed that everyone already new….that the entire crowd outside of Pink’s consisted of L.A. locals! This is a terrible assumption, considering that all of the L.A. locals I’ve talked to say that Pink’s hot dogs aren’t worth the hype. Pink’s cost us $300 (no, I’m not kidding. $300 smackers for a lousy parking violation), and we never even got to eat any hot dogs! Beware if you go! Don’t park on the street any time around 4 p.m. (P.S., at least Guitar Center was kind enough to announce the fact over their intercom)
