Phil's Diner in NoHo gets a new home

phils-diner-2.jpgPhil's Diner was a beloved hangout for its fans in North Hollywood when it was located on Chandler Boulevard, from the 1920s until about ten years ago. The building has been restored and on Wednesday afternoon it was lowered into place on Lankershim Boulevard at Weddington Street. It will reopen in March as Phil’s Diner Fresh n’ Fast, which the press release calls "an organic, sustainable fast food restaurant that embraces local, hormone-free and pesticide-free food, compostable containers and other green components." It's part of the NoHo redevelopment project by J.H. Snyder Co.
