Musso & Frank Grill

In the Los Angeles area of Hollywood, at 6667-9 Hollywood Boulevard, there is a restaurant called Musso & Frank Grill. The eatery, which bears the names of its founding proprietors Joseph Musso and Frank Toulet, debuted in 1919. It has been referred to as "the birth of Hollywood" and is the oldest restaurant in the city.

Firmin "Frank" Toulet, a French immigrant, opened the eatery at 6669 Hollywood Boulevard as Frank's François Café. To reflect Toulet's new partnership with Joseph Musso, the business was renamed Musso & Frank's in 1923.

Joseph Carissimi and John Mosso purchased the restaurant in 1927. The restaurant was enlarged by Mosso to incorporate 6667 Hollywood Boulevard in 1936. The large room on the restaurant's east side, which was inaugurated in 1955, is still referred to as "the new room." High ceilings, dark wood paneling, and red booths are all original features that have been preserved in the restaurant. The same red coats that its servers and bartenders have been donning for decades are worn by them. The restaurant is still run by his great-grandson Mark Echeverria and is still owned by the descendants of John Mosso, who bought out Carissimi's family. The "New York-style bar and restaurant" Musso and Frank are today regarded as a classic.
