Nickel Diner

This diner is an institution, and if you're lucky, you'll only wait outside for fifteen minutes before getting inside for lunch-on a week day. But do wait...its absolutely worth it! I was perusing the net for the perfect authentic diner experience for the road trip to LA my friend and I were making from San Diego. This was it. The food is fabulous, the wait staff and owner will ensure that everything is happening just the way you want it to, but wait, there's more...the painted prices on the walls immediately inside are authentic, left over from a simpler time when you could get a meal and a drink for under a dollar. The food, the desserts, the place...all of it is amazing. If you eat anywhere else, you only have yourself to blame.

It was a mad genius kind of rumor. The sort of epic that sends you into a twitchy, feverish delirium. A conspiracy, better yet, a sacrilegious taboo involving the warm sultry sweetness of a freshly made glazed donut, and bacon. Oh yes, bacon. It seemed like two blinks of an eye before we were standing at the very steps of the Sacred House of the Bacon Donut. Almost as if the Goddess of Bacon had teleported us herself. In one moment words are springing from the mouth of the Metropolis Books sage, and in the next we’re whirled into a confusing blur of light and salivation towards godlike customer service and bacon salvation! Hungry? Get thee to Nickel Diner DTLA!
