Tiny Naylor's: The Hollywood Drive-In That Couldn't Be Saved

How many readers remember Tiny Naylor’s Drive-In? Motorists coming up to the northwest corner of Sunset and La Brea used to have one of Hollywood's most unique sights. There was a vast winged roof under which cars would gather around a restaurant that was brilliantly lit. Carhops in uniform would come out and serve you your meal. You could eat in your car, movie stars would come in and have their meal in their car, the teens would drive past hoping to see a celebrity and the hungry night owls would know they could have a meal at any time of the night. That was Tiny Naylor's Restaurant and Drive-In at 7101 Sunset Boulevard. It was one of the landmarks of Hollywood, as much a part of the Hollywood scene as the studios, the theatres and the nightclubs.

With LA’s Bar Scene in Crisis, Everson Royce Bar Announces Last Call

In late October, Downtown’s Everson Royce Bar announced it would close permanently at the end of 2026. Hundreds of comments on its Instagram page lamented the loss of another fundamental Los Angeles bar. In the 11 years it was open, Everson Royce Bar appealed to casual and knowledgeable drinkers alike, serving as a watering hole for the hospitality industry. Cocktail culture writer Esther Tseng recalls the bar’s impact on the region. “It’s a bar that always had seriously good (but not serious) cocktails,” says Tseng. “It was probably one of the first places I knew Downtown that could accommodate small parties in an intimate bar setting, or larger, casual parties on the patio out back. It had great food, too.”

Westside Restaurants and Markets Earn Honors From Their Neighbors

LOS ANGELES - Nextdoor, the neighborhood network platform, announced the winners of the Nextdoor Fave Awards in October, spotlighting local businesses and neighbor recommendations. The annual program allows locals to vote for their favorite spots across 20 different categories. According to Nextdoor , the Nextdoor Fave Awards help businesses reach a wider audience within the platform with up to 32 times more business page views compared to non-winners. Many of this year's winners are longtime local favorites and, despite years of recognition, are nonetheless touched by the award. "We feel absolutely honored and humbled to have won a Nextdoor Fave Award. We both know without the support of the loyal customers and the community, there is no path to move forward," said New York Bagel & Deli Co-Owners Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri. The husband-and-wife duo recently took over the Mar Vista location of the deli , but have remained committed to preserving the recipes and quality of the 30-year-old business while introducing new pastries as well.
