Editorial Review

24/seven 1924 landmark owned by ex-mayor Riordan has confused perverts slapping themselves over misreading name. They stay for dapper Depression-era diner digs, insane crowds, top-rankin' sourdough toast, creamy coleslaw, $15 steak, apple pie a-la-mode, and relish tray of crispy vegetables that improve on soggier lunch and dinner standards. Late nights are drunken. Breakfasts are legendary, often overlapping when we locate that artsy after-hours underground speakeasy down the street.
