Sardi’s
6313 Hollywood Boulevard
Sardi’s restaurant opened in 1932 and was the sister of New York’s Sardi’s and was designed by the world-renowned architect Rudolph Schindler in International style with metal and glass. This was a favorite restaurant of many stars including Charlie Chaplin, Maurice Chevalier, Wallace Beery, Marlene Dietrich and Joan Crawford. Below is it’s current incarnation.

I’ve seen that in the Then and Now book and try to decipher what is left of the old exterior. It looks almost as if they lopped off the facade/story at the top

Even though Sardi’s is long gone, the building is still standing. Allan, do you know anything about what happened to the furnishings from Sardi’s? I also wonder if there is any trace of Sardi’s left inside this “mess” now. I love your “Hollywood then and now”.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
