Kathleen B. comments:

The Gourmet Hollywood Restaurant was in business during the 1940s and 1950s. The postcard shows the patio. This postcard was mailed on 10-19-50. The writer celebrated her birthday here, thought it was "a very nice place", and had roast turkey for dinner.

Johnie’s Coffee Shop (Romeo’s Times Square)  Restaurant

 

 

As it stands today - empty but used for filming.

Fairfax at Wilshire. One of the greatest Googie places designed by Armet and Davis. Closed but the building still stands to await a dubious fate. Just off the Miracle Mile. Previously on this site was a Simon's Drive In. I'll forgive Romeo's for tearing down Simon's (I guess!).

 

Would some wild and crazy billionaire please buy this and reopen it.  It would definitely be a viable place if you ran it like Swinger's on Beverly.

Johnie's (Harvey's) Broiler  Restaurant

UPDATE:  Most of this treasure has been torn down. A very big loss.

This is how it sadly stands today.

7447 Firestone Blvd, Downey, CA. Known to most by its original name "Harvey's Broiler" Many American's don't realize that they have a culture.  Quite obviously, we do - just as detailed and full of tradition as any other.  Harvey's / Johnie's Broiler was an icon of our culture - the sort of place that makes American culture unique (especially for a specific time and place - 50s California). I still cannot comprehend why such an icon of American culture can be allowed to go out of business.  This is the sort of place that the Federal government should take over and run as a commercial national park, if you will.  This place was far more historic than many older historic sites that have been preserved - but so much is lost once it ceases to operate. Wake up America! Our living history is disappearing.

Kawafuku Café Restaurant

 

 

204 ½ E. First St.

The Kawafuku Café and Restaurant
 Kawafuku Café and Restaurant is a distant memory for most Nisei residents of Los Angeles today. Most people only remember it as a “famous” restaurant or that it had tatami rooms upstairs. Over a span of fifty years, the name “Kawafuku” evoked images of classic Japanese cuisine, formal dining and traditional Japanese culture.
In 1923, Takichi Kato was forty-one years old and had lived in the United States for fourteen years. He was an accomplished chef, having worked for the Imperial household and the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Elite circles in Japan dubbed him “samurai chef,” a distinction given only to three other Japanese chefs in the world.
Takichi Kato was also a seasoned restaurateur whose vision led him to create not only a stylish and elegant restaurant, but a meeting place for Japanese associations and cultural gatherings. College graduates, prefectural associations, Japanese delegations and Nisei Week committees are among the community groups that held annual functions at Kawafuku. Initially located on Weller Street, Kawafuku Cafe moved to the corner of First and Los Angeles Streets in time for the 1932 Olympics. Maximum seating capacity was 600 people on both floors.
A stage was built upstairs for musical entertainment and dance performances. Prominently displayed in the restaurant was a taiko drum that would be played at special events. Bette Davis was once “kidnapped” by her friends and led blindfolded into one of the party rooms upstairs. Charlie Chaplin also visited the restaurant and had his photo taken on the stage. Japanese dignitaries such as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and Jigoro Kano [founder of modern day judo] were also visitors to the restaurant.
            At the end of World War II, Takichi Kato was 63 years old. While the war took its toll on family finances, it was also age that caused him to sell Kawafuku Café to the Nakashima family. He opened a smaller restaurant called “Daruma Café” near First and San Pedro Streets. The Nakashimas operated the Kawafuku Restaurant that most nisei patrons remember today, which closed in the early 1970s to relocate from Little Tokyo to Gardena

(Provided by Patricia B.)

One of the greats. 5879 W. Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA. at Adams "Heavenly fried chicken", also squab dinners for 90 cents.  I thought I saw the building this was housed in still standing but damaged after the Northridge earthquake. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. It appears to gone now!

 

 

 

Original Restaurant (est. 1924)

 

 

The Adams & Washington location opened April 26, 1930.

Comments by Kathleen B. on these cards:

 

I remember going to the second restaurant when I was a child. I remember a pond in the middle of the restaurant. I'm not sure if that is what is shown in this card. People were allowed to write on the lampshades that were at each table/booth. Maybe they weren't supposed to, but the shades were filled up with people's names written on them. I was excited when my Dad would add my name to a shade. My grandfather always ordered squab.

The first card shows the address as 5741 W. Washington. The second card just gives the intersection. I looked in my 1967 phone book and the address for King's is listed as as 5879 W. Washington.
