Los Angeles: Pann's Restaurant & Coffee Shop
Pann's Restaurant & Coffee Shop, located at 6710 Tijera Boulevard in Westchester, was opened in 1958 by George and Rena Panagopulos. Designed by Eldon Davis and Helen Liu Fong of Armét & Davis, the iconic building is one LA's best preserved examples of midcentury Googie architecture, featuring iconic neon signage, an angular roofline, and terrazzo floors, and neon signage. Pann’s, still family-owned (currently run by Jim Poulos), became a neighborhood institution and a touchstone for travelers thanks to its location near LAX. The menu features diner staples with Southern influences — most famously fried chicken, waffles, burgers, and hearty breakfasts. Its pop-culture status was cemented in films like Next, Bewitched and XXX: State of the Union (but contrary to popular belief, not Pulp Fiction).
