MIRACLE MILE: Doughboys Coda Coda: "Just walked by Doughboy's (or what used to be) on Wilshire next to the El Rey theatre. New name is the Bus Stop Cafe. No more Doughboys in LA?" Thanks for the tip, but yes, Doughboys is totally dunzo. [Eater Inbox]
BEVERLY HILLS: Just a year after its debut in West Hollywood, Salades de Provence will open a second location at Frederic Fekkai's salon on Rodeo Drive later this month. [EaterWire]
WESTWOOD: Simon Dolinky and BLVD 16 at the Palomar Hotel are still somewhat off the radar, but the chef and his seasonal menus are worth checking out, especially for those looking for something more than Napa Valley Grille, Nine Thirty or Palmonino. Bonus: the lounge has a half-price bar menu from 4pm-7pm. [EaterWire]
