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.

Chef Jeremy Fox Brings Birdie G’s To Fairmont Century Plaza As L.A. Landmark Celebrates 60th Anniversary

The Los Angeles mid-century classic welcomes an all-day American brasserie, special cocktails, and luxury wellness rituals for its 60th birthday. When Jeremy Fox first launched Birdie G’s in 2019, the dining concept was rooted in a blend of Midwestern supper club nostalgia, Southern hospitality, and California’s hyper-seasonal ethos. Now, the James Beard–nominated chef is evolving his restaurant into a bustling, all-day American brasserie at L.A.’s Fairmont Century Plaza. Designed in partnership with EDG Design, the space aims to shift from early-morning espressos to power lunches and hearty dinners as it launches a new culinary option for Century City.

Botanica: A cozy Silver Lake dining escape

Silver Lake—It was a Saturday night; I was by my lonesome, and I felt a desire for the tasty quirk of Botanica – which is part market, part bar, part intimate indoor restaurant, part sidewalk cafe…and part hidden garden. As a destination for one, the bar felt affable. I like sitting at counters. I feel as if my code of behavior can shift, and I can eat with my elbows on the bar, not concerned that anyone is watching me chew.
