If you're looking for a place to relax with a friend after a day of shopping, you could definitely go to Yogurtland. It's a frozen yogurt place, and they've got lots of great flavors. It's self-serve so you can get as much as you want, and at 30 cents an ounce, it's affordable too. They also have a lot of toppings. :)
Another great dessert place is Millions of Milkshakes on Santa Monica BLVD. Lots of celebs go there, and their milkshakes are fantastic. Whenever I go, I get the Shake of Fame. It's so good. They're a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
Pink's Hot Dogs is great. They have a big menu full of awesome hot dogs, and they're pretty famous. The line is usually pretty long, but it's worth it, especially because they've been around for 70 years. If a restaurant can last that long, they must be good.
