"Uh oh. You accidentally put S. Highland into Google Maps instead of N. Highland and ended up at Autozone instead of the Hollywood Wax Museum. Easy mistake. Time to go sit at a diner and rethink why you rented a car in the first place. Clark Street Diner used to be the iconic 101 Coffee Shop—seen in the movie Swingers—before changing hands a few years ago. The new owners (who also run one of LA’s best bakeries) made the food way better, but kept the old diner-y aesthetic—a combination we can get behind. All the breakfast classics here are great, but since breakfast is a construct, start the day with their fantastic patty melt on house-baked rye." - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
