Musso & Frank Grill
6667 Hollywood Blvd.
Hollywood, CA
323-467-7788

Hollywood's oldest restaurant, Musso & Frank Grill, is practically pickled in tobacco and booze from less temperate decades, when F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dashiell Hammett and other disaffected Hollywood writers made Musso's a home away from home. Some of the waiters look as if they go back that far; the youngsters are the ones who have been here only 30 years. While Hollywood business interests are intent on gussying up the famous boulevard with shopping malls, glitzy theaters and restaurants, Musso & Frank carries on much as it has for 84 years.

Musso's is still full of life, frequented by people who have been eating there for decades as well as newly minted hopefuls come to try their luck in Hollywood. So what's new? Nothing under the sun.
