During Prohibition, Cole’s was a favorite hangout for gangsters like Mickey Cohen (If you were a regular customer, your “coffee” came with a little something extra!).

Philippe The Original comfort food near Circa residences in downtown Los Angeles

Philippe The Original 1001 N Alameda St. Los Angeles, CA 90012

Philippe The Original is one of the oldest and best known restaurants in Southern California, established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the “French Dipped Sandwich.” One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven. The patron, a policeman, said he would take the sandwich anyway and returned the next day with some friends asking for more dipped sandwiches. And so was born the “French Dipped Sandwich,” so called either because of Mathieu’s French heritage, the French roll the sandwich is made on, or because the officer’s name was French. The answer is lost to history.

Nick's Cafe comfort food near Circa residences in downtown Los Angeles

Nick’s Cafe 1300 N Spring St. Los Angeles, CA 90012

Nick’s Cafe started back in 1948 by Nick, his Navy buddy, and Lois the server. Nick was just out of the Navy and decided to open a little diner across from the River Station freight yards. After a successful run, Nick sold his diner to a couple of LAPD detectives who put in a train that ran around the ceiling. After many good years, the place fell into dark times – the old rail yards were grown over and the freight buildings were empty. Flash forward to 2009, when the current owner took over. Now, over 60 years after its inception, Nick’s is still known for great food, the smiles, and the coffee. And be sure to check out their border-style skillets, such as breakfast quesadilla, huevos rancheros, and chilaquiles.
