Queen Ethyl of Weenie-ania looks out over her domain and wonders why there's no background in the other version. Imaginary restaurant sign.

Come see the universally famous Sonny Eclipse and his fabulous Space Angels, only at the Starlight Cafe!

Serving home-style Italian cuisine, steaks, and breakfast until 4 a.m., this suit and tie jazz joint was the place to go for the late-night crowd that was a mix of Hollywood stars and hard-partying Angelenos.

The Melody Lane Cafes (there were several in the Los Angeles area) were owned and operated by the Pig'n Whistle Corporation. First acquired in 1927, Melody Lane was an established downtown cafe near the music publishing companies and was a popular hangout for musicians and radio personalities. When prohibition was repealed, Melody Lane began building cocktail lounges within their units. They were one of the first Los Angeles restaurants to do so. A development mirrored in The Hollywood film noir classic Mildred Pierce

Another dearly departed Los Angeles / Hollywood institution- the 101 Coffee Shop, as seen in Jon Favreau's Swingers, and as seen over the tops of the laptops of 10,000 wannabe screenwriters. A great place to grab a meeting, coffee or a milkshake before cruising up the 101 Freeway. RIP 101! Great gift for Hollywood folks, screenwriters, Beachwood Canyon Residents.

Amazing!

Winkie's on Sunset Blvd. is the Googie style diner where much of the 2001 film Mulholland Drive's action takes place. In real life, it's neither actually a restaurant called Winkie's, nor is it on Sunset Blvd. It was actually shot at an old restaurant, which at the time was called Caesar's, though it was located a long ways from Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. The actual location was about 20 miles south at 1016 W. El Segundo Blvd. in Gardena.

After spending the last 25 years entombed beneath a dull drop ceiling and the beigest of beige drywall, Santa Monica’s vintage 1959 Penguin coffee shop is being restored to its Googie glory. The jaunty-roofed dining room was designed by architects Armet & Davis (you know their work from Norms, Pann’s, and Johnie’s on Wilshire) and served up burgers and malts for generations before the building became a dentist’s office in 1991.

Have you heard that astronomers think there could be a 9th planet, way beyond the Kuiper belt? How could we have not seen a planet in our solar system that’s 10 times the size of the Earth? Well, even a planet that big is difficult to detect when it’s around twenty times as far away as Neptune! Whether the real Planet 9 is out there or not, I’ve imagined a logo for it if it were more of a cute 50s atomic age diner than a mysterious celestial body. The design was inspired by the irregular orbits of objects in the scattered disk region that gave scientists the first hint that there might be another large planet out there.

The Future Is Vintage

Coffee Dan's roots go back to when Daniel Davis, aka Coffee Dan, opened a cabaret in San Francisco in 1879 in the basement below his coffee shop. Eventually, Dan, and later his son, John, focused on the coffee shop and shuttered the cabaret. During WWII, war production saw a demand for 24-hour diners, and Coffee Dan’s began opening several locations in Los Angeles. Open all day, every day, the diners became popular with night shift workers during the war, and continued to be the hang-out spot for late night revelers post-war. Other locations opened around the country, and followed the same formula, but by the end of the '70s, all Coffee Dan’s closed. This design is based on the early '60s rebrand, which saw Coffee Dan as a cartoon mascot.
