This seems as good a place as any to start, since the proximity of our new apartment to its front door was one of the main reasons we signed the lease. We love the freakishly perfect coffee (just the fuel I need to finish the Saturday crossword), we love the sandwiches and salads, we love most of the desserts. All in all there isn't much we can tell the L.A. food blog community about Urth that they don't already know, except perhaps this: Don't order the veggie lasagna. Ever. One of the restaurant's infrequent missteps, its similarity to a box of Lean Cuisine is so uncanny that it would be worth investigating if we had the time to do that sort of thing. The smart thing would be to remove it from the menu; but since the bill of fare hasn't changed noticeably in the several years I've been going there, I have a feeling that the lasagna (along with the rotating cast of bluetooth-implanted douchebags and vaguely Hiltonesque ultra-entitled squeakvoices) is there to stay.

And also, Urth, if you're reading this: bring back the Melrose Burger. It's so sad every time we go there and Nick makes frowny-face while he reminisces about how much he loved it, forced to order his second-favorite. Really. I'm a die-hard. I'm your first customer of the day at least three times a week. Do me a solid here.
