Pete’s Cafe and Bar (Downtown)

By in 06: Downtown LA

I had brunch at one of my favorite Downtown spots in one fine morning with two friends. The “Eggs & Stuff” are served till 3, good for people who had a crazy night. 😉 I got a side of the Spinach and Pear Salad that wasn’t fresh. But I’m not here for salad… The Belgian […]

The night was still early (midnight), so there were no lines in this classic 24 hours diner at Downtown. The interior reminds me of old school Manhattan. The menu is on the wall. There’s something very satisfying about eating breakfast at late night. My friends’ omelette and steaks. The sourdoughs are surprisingly good~ I’m never […]
