I ate at this Echo Park joint on Monday night before the Fanfarlo show. Though lightly hipsterized in recent years (on account of having become a favorite with hipsters), Alexander’s Brite Spot is the real deal: a well-preserved mid-century diner, a piece of older LA.

It has its own label on the Google map of the city, actually. When navigating my way to Echo for the show, I saw the name and saw, in its spelling, a lot of potential. I was happy not to be disappointed by the corresponding brick-and-mortar reality.

The seats in the booths were red and sparkly. The waitress appeared to have been original to the restaurant. The food was plentiful. And a good rock show followed.
