Joan's on Third

Why am I here every week? Something about it is familiar and easy and I love how the tables crowd the sidewalk on a highly trafficked unremarkable street. Home to my favorite pancakes in all of Los Angeles (blueberry!) and a top tier Arnold Palmer. That's a perfect order right there. At lunchtime it's me and my giant salad in a metal bowl, side of mac n cheese, and an AP. If I'm hungover (sorry) I'm getting a tuna melt or going halvsies with someone on the short rib sandwich and Chinese Chicken Salad, and of course an Arnold Palmer of my own.
