I was there last week. It is a unique part of a long gone past that I hope will remain for awhile. Our society does not dream enough. Clifford kept his dream alive long after his passing.

Hmm. I’m not working Wednesday. I think I’ll go to Clifton’s! I’m already excited!! Now I can’t complain that I have nothing to do this weekend.

Best post i’ve read in a while! Very interesting subject. It kind of reminds me of Harry’s Hofbrau in Redwood City, but much more over the top!

YES! Clifton’s is great! I remember going there when I was a wee lad. I still get out there whenever I’m in the area. A few years ago, I introduced my daughter to the fine Clifton’s dining experience. She was awed to say the least.

This is awesome. As a huge fan of the Beats, and a past California resident (who desperately hopes to return someday soon), I can’t wait for my next trip out to the West Coast so that I can check Clifton’s out!

This is great! I’m a life-long California girl, but I’ve never heard about this place. Now I will have to check it out. Thanks.

Hey Ingrid –

East Coast sabbatical, huh? I think that sounds like a great idea … Mango? Will? (Bueller?)

Maybe we’ll do a photo challenge where people send in pictures of their favorite haunts and hangouts … the quirkier the better … for instance, I’d love to get some pix/stories from the Rimsky-Korsakoffee house in Portland, OR.

And Zoinks — great news, glad to hear Clifton’s is here to stay.

…now what I would really like is if A) Ransom, you would take an East-coast sabbatical. That means, you would spend say, 6 months or so visiting some really cool, funky EAST COAST (specifically Virginia would be nice) hang-outs. I mean, how feasible is it for all us East-coasters to just take a jaunt to LA to check out these incredible places? OK, so if the sabbatical is completely out of the question, could we at least have B) an intern for this side of the country??

Clifton’s is going nowhere, especially after they recently purchased the building.
