About Los Angeles, California: Where the Mother Road Ends and Dreams Begin
Los Angeles, the sprawling "City of Angels," represented the last major destination on the epic 2,448-mile journey from Chicago. As Route 66 travelers rolled into LA after crossing eight states, they knew the Pacific Ocean awaited just miles ahead at Santa Monica. The city offered everything the Mother Road promised: Hollywood glamour, palm-lined boulevards, and the intoxicating sense that the California dream was within reach.
During the 1940s and '50s highway heyday, Los Angeles had transformed into a global entertainment capital that dazzled road-weary adventurers. For travelers approaching the journey's end, LA provided one last magnificent celebration before reaching the Santa Monica Pier: a final taste of urban excitement before touching the Pacific.
Historic establishments along the route captured the spirit of mid-century Los Angeles. Clifton's Cafeteria at 648 S. Broadway, a 1930s architectural wonder, featured fantastical forest-themed décor that offered travelers a surreal dining experience, though it's temporarily closed.
The legendary Sunset Strip pulsed with neon energy, nightclubs, and Hollywood allure, embodying the city's glamorous nightlife. Phillips Barbecue in Leimert Park has served authentic Southern BBQ since 1927 and continues operating today as a beloved institution.
The The Dresden Restaurant & Lounge at 1760 N Vermont Ave in Los Feliz maintains its vintage charm with mid-century décor, classic cocktails, and old-school ambiance that transports visitors back to Route 66's golden era.
The spirit of Route 66 lives on throughout Los Angeles in vintage neon signs, classic diners, and the city's enduring culture of dreams and reinvention. As the final major city before Santa Monica's western terminus, LA remains what it was for generations of travelers: the magnificent gateway where cross-country adventure meets coastal California, with only the triumphant final miles to the Pacific remaining.
