Situated above a gorgeous ballroom, the dark wood and leather interior of Seven Grand creates an incredible atmosphere. An enclosed cigar room at the back harkens back to the days when men would talk business over 3 martini lunches. Do you ever wonder how they got any work done?
We also stumbled across an amazing video of Los Angeles, taken in the late ‘60s. Watching this was the perfect way to celebrate our incredible city and satisfy our retro-cravings! See if you can spot some famous landmarks that are still around today.
If you look closely, you can see a sign for The Party, which reopened as the famous Whisky A Go Go several months after this video was shot!
Do you have any hotspots in your city that evoke a nostalgic ’60s feel? Share them in the comments below and please, tell us how you’re coping with the agony of waiting for the 25th!
