Whether you are in town on business or moving your stuff into self storage in anticipation of an upcoming relocation, you’ve got to eat. But when? And where? The answer to when is any time when you choose these 24/7 eateries. And where? Keep reading for our top 11 choices.
Canter’s Deli
If you’re looking for your sweet spot for celebrity sightings without breaking the bank, you want Canter’s. Located on North Fairfax in Los Angeles, Canter’s has plenty of options between its bar, separate dining halls – there are two of them – and full-service bakery. Ask for a corned beef reuben with a side of potato salad or opt for a quick morning bagel on the way to your self storage unit.
Du-Pars
Du-Par’s in Beverly Grove serves up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night eats from its location in the original farmers market. Our staff’s favorite is the classic burger; but don’t miss the omelet, pancakes, or turkey club. Visit the Pasadena location for the backroom fire pit, where you never know who or what you might see.
Sun Nong Dan
Head down to W. 6th St. in Koreatown for a meaty, spicy, and sweet galbi to share with friends before you head home from a long night out. This is the Korean restaurant to visit if you’re only in town for a day. There are multiple locations throughout Los Angeles, so you’ll never be far from this modest and yet delicious diner, no matter which SecureSpace Self Storage unit you happen to be at.
25°
Don’t let the name for you, 25° on Hollywood Boulevard is about as hot as it gets. For the best burgers that have ever graced your lips, head over to the Roosevelt Hotel to visit this retro diner any time of day. Grab a milkshake, and buckle up because you may be in for a wild ride of chatting with the locals. Ask for a pesto, crispy prosciutto, and burrata burger. Thank us later.
The Original Pantry
Opened in 1924, The Original Pantry is a 24/7 retro-style diner with weekend lines that can easily put your wait at two hours or more. Ask for the eggs and bacon breakfast at this downtown LA classic, and don’t forget the coffee. If you don’t want to wait, come midweek for shorter lines and people watching. If you’ve been out at a concert, grab your crew and head to The Original Pantry for a few post-drink dinners.
BCD Tofu House
There are several locations of BCD Tofu House scattered throughout the Los Angeles area, but make a point to visit the Wilshire Boulevard location if you’re in town serving your self storage needs. Obviously, tofu is a specialty, but don’t forget the meat, rice, and kimchi dumplings. This K-Town staple is a great option for big groups as well, so bring the entire family, and enjoy.
Los Tacos
What’s better than tacos to fuel your body after a long day unloading your moving truck into your self storage unit? Nothing, that’s what. Santa Monica Blvd. is home to LA’s most tasty tacos, enchiladas, and burritos. Los Tacos even packs food to go if you’re in a hurry to get home at 4 AM for your 6 AM alarm.
Western Bagel
Bagels are one carb-loaded treat that even our keto friends envy. Located conveniently on Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys, Western Bagel is the perfect pitstop if you’re heading to an early morning flight. Try the everything bagel toasted for a crunchy flavor explosion like nothing you’ve ever had before. Oh, and bring cash, because your card is no good here.
Fred 62
A retro dive diner located on North Vermont Ave., Fred 62 may not have the healthiest options in LA, but you won’t find a better pan pizza, full breakfast, or cocktail anywhere. This bright and airy establishment caters to carnivores and vegetarians alike and features an expansive outdoor dining area for those that want to enjoy the sunshine while they dine.
Original Tommy’s
Beverly Boulevard is also home to the Original Tommy’s, which offers a pretty basic list that consist of burgers, chili dogs, tamales, fries, and a couple of quick pick options. This is not a formal dining experience by any measure of the imagination, and you do not want to look at the nutritional value. But this 24/7 restaurant can help you refuel after a day at your self storage unit or fill your belly after a night out.
Crispy Pork Gang
Don’t let the funny name fool you. This Hollywood Boulevard establishment, which sadly gets overshadowed by the other restaurants in Thai Town, has some of the best soup and crispy pork rice in the entire Los Angeles area. And if you’re broke, you can eat for less than $10 and enjoy the same food at better prices, with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow’s breakfast.
There you have it, our self storage staff’s favorite 24/7 diners that will fill your belly, fuel your body, and allow you to experience Los Angeles cuisine any time of day or night.
