Anything new and interesting in the Entertainment District? I'm going to the theatre for the first time since covid and am out of the loop with that area.

Kost is at the top of one of the buildings and has great views. The food is a bit bland, but decent.

Hmmm, this sounds decent............
The above is $15

Below........ha ha, you must be kidding:
Not that any of these are bad, but they they are price above a duck sandwich, really?

Ok, read the whole menu...............some decent looking stuff, but a lack of cohesive culinary vision; unless the over use of 'whipped feta' counts.
The prices are really odd, I mean they aren't way high in the aggregate, but they don't line up w/the product descriptions well.

@Northern Light I think the pricing is not too bad considering it's the financial district...i look at this spot as a place to unwind after work or grab a quick coffee bite on the way to work.
The drink prices are pretty decent. Wine per glass are between $14 -$16 and cocktail are roughly about the same. Beers are $8 which is unheard of, especially in the financial district.
Must be a great first date spot or colleague's happy hour too.
This place reminds me of "The Annex Hotel Wine Bar" up nearby Koreatown.

I think the point wasn't that the price is overly high, just that it's weird for a smoked duck sandwich to cost less than a green salad or a bowl of cauliflower with pickled onions.
Speaking of snacks/sandwiches, the little sandwiches at the place in Table at the new CIBC building are really fun, and cheap.

I know! I mean hey pricing is given by market demand.
The smoked duck sandwich is cheaper perhaps it's a smaller portion or repurposed from another entree. Also, bread typically lasts longer and can be purchased cheaply in bulk.
Salad on the other hand is prone to wilting easily and often makes up the difference in margin by adding "extra protein" add on.

Which spot is this, I didn't notice a sandwich spot in their vendor list.

It's the little bar in the middle (In Good Spirits). They have five small sandwiches, and two of them make a perfect lunch. There's a duck, pulled pork, mushroom, smoked salmon and chicken.
They have a deal where you can get two, plus a side (chips or salad) plus a fountain drink for $17 (and if you ask really nicely, they just may give you glass of wine instead of a fountain drink).
They also have one with foie gras which is a bit $$$ and not on the menu, but was delicious.
