"Off the Menu" by Gary Baseman at Johnie's feels like flipping through a nostalgic scrapbook of Los Angeles.
Set inside the iconic former coffee shop on Wilshire - with its retro booths, Googie architecture, and old Hollywood diner energy - the space itself feels like a time capsule of LA. Seeing all the hand-drawn menus from legendary local restaurants brought back so many memories of the city's food culture and history.
Baseman's playful, surreal style - full of cartoon-like characters, bold colors, and dreamy details - turns these familiar places into something whimsical and deeply personal.
The fact that the exhibit was free made it even better - and on the day I went, there was even a fruit stand outside giving out free fruit.

This is one of the greatest LA exhibits I’ve seen. That’s because it’s filled with Los Angeles history. This is the defunct Johnie’s Coffee Shop located at Wilshire & Fairfax.Inside is an exhibit by artist @garybaseman called OFF THE MENU. It’s a love letter to Los Angeles restaurant culture.
Each piece of art is on the actual menus of LA restaurants, created by Baseman while dining. He calls these “action drawings”: a discipline that demands full engagement with the food, the moment, and his fellow diners, with each piece completed before the meal ends. The result is a body of work that transforms the everyday ritual of eating together into creative engagement.
EXHIBITION HOURS: Thursday through Sunday, Noon–7pm (Subject to change). Runs through Sunday, June 14, 2026. And it’s FREE
Perhaps we’re getting one step closer to Johnie’s opening up as a coffee shop once again. Thank you Gary for allowing us to take a trip back inside! What a treat for us Angeleno’s! I hadn’t been inside since it closed way back in 2000
(Thanks for filming this with me @kimberlybiehl!)

Pt. 2 of 2: Chew on this: a diner that no longer serves food filled with menus functioning as canvases for works of art inspired by the nosh, environment and repartee.
That is OFF THE MENU, an exhibition at defunct Johnnie’s Coffee Shop, showcasing 40 works, mostly menus from adored restaurants throughout #LA, covered with the kooky characters served up by @garybaseman with the colored pencils he brings to dine out.
It’s an approach Gary dubs “action drawing”: full engagement with the meal, the moment, his fellow diners—and each work, be it on a menu or in one of his prized journals, completed before the meal ends.
The everyday ritual of dining as communal, creative experience.
It’s also very much a love letter to our hometown. El Coyote, Musso and Frank, The Formosa and Dominik’s are among the favorite eateries represented.
Canter’s takes an especially prized place as it’s where Gary’s late mom worked behind the counter for 35 years.
Gary attended storied Fairfax High down the avenue, as did one of the members of the family that took over Johhnie’s in 1994.It hasn’t operated as a diner since 2000.
No matter. The Fairfax-Wilshire location, in the heart of a ‘hood filled with museums and galleries, makes it ideal as an art space.
The place itself is as much a thing of art. The Armét & Davis-designed Googie building is, thankfully, a designated cultural monument. A relief in a city challenged in preserving its architectural landmarks.
It’s also a fave location, with The Big Lebowski, Reservoir Dogs, City of Angeles and other films, music vids and endless productions among its starry credits.
The space and Gary’s artwork needs to be savored in person.
So go.
The show is only through June 14, and only open Thurs-Sun.
In this post, the second half of scenes from the preview night May 7.
Don’t skip the previous post with more on the show and the evening. 🐈⬛🍕

Pt. 2 of 2: Chew on this: a diner that no longer serves food filled with menus functioning as canvases for works of art inspired by the nosh, environment and repartee.
That is OFF THE MENU, an exhibition at defunct Johnnie’s Coffee Shop, showcasing 40 works, mostly menus from adored restaurants throughout #LA, covered with the kooky characters served up by @garybaseman with the colored pencils he brings to dine out.
It’s an approach Gary dubs “action drawing”: full engagement with the meal, the moment, his fellow diners—and each work, be it on a menu or in one of his prized journals, completed before the meal ends.
The everyday ritual of dining as communal, creative experience.
It’s also very much a love letter to our hometown. El Coyote, Musso and Frank, The Formosa and Dominik’s are among the favorite eateries represented.
Canter’s takes an especially prized place as it’s where Gary’s late mom worked behind the counter for 35 years.
Gary attended storied Fairfax High down the avenue, as did one of the members of the family that took over Johhnie’s in 1994.It hasn’t operated as a diner since 2000.
No matter. The Fairfax-Wilshire location, in the heart of a ‘hood filled with museums and galleries, makes it ideal as an art space.
The place itself is as much a thing of art. The Armét & Davis-designed Googie building is, thankfully, a designated cultural monument. A relief in a city challenged in preserving its architectural landmarks.
It’s also a fave location, with The Big Lebowski, Reservoir Dogs, City of Angeles and other films, music vids and endless productions among its starry credits.
The space and Gary’s artwork needs to be savored in person.
So go.
The show is only through June 14, and only open Thurs-Sun.
In this post, the second half of scenes from the preview night May 7.
Don’t skip the previous post with more on the show and the evening. 🐈⬛🍕

THE DAY THESE 5 BLACK KITTENS RULED MY WORLD!!!
Happy “Quince de Mayo Cinco de Gato!”
Today is the anniversary when we started fostering these special black kittens from the amazing folks at @luxepaws !
I was still so wounded from losing Bosko, my heart shattered, but @lulasphinx agreed to foster these 5 babies for just a couple days, that turned into a couple months! We decided to keep two, who became Beverly & Fairfax, and found homes for the other three with friends @vera_duffy & @pizzabagelheart
So today is a special day, celebrating my stint as a JUNGLE GYM!
Przeglądaj historie na Instagramie w tajemnicy
Instagram Story Viewer to proste narzędzie, które pozwala na ciche oglądanie i zapisywanie historii Instagram, filmów, zdjęć lub IGTV. Dzięki tej usłudze możesz pobrać zawartość i cieszyć się nią offline, kiedy chcesz. Jeśli znajdziesz coś interesującego na Instagramie, co chcesz sprawdzić później, lub chcesz oglądać historie pozostając anonimowym, nasz Viewer jest idealny dla Ciebie. Anonstories oferuje doskonałe rozwiązanie do ukrywania swojej tożsamości. Instagram po raz pierwszy uruchomił funkcję historii w sierpniu 2023 roku, która szybko została zaadoptowana przez inne platformy ze względu na jej angażujący, czasowo ograniczony format. Historie pozwalają użytkownikom dzielić się szybkimi aktualizacjami, czy to zdjęciami, filmami, czy selfie, wzbogaconymi o tekst, emotikony lub filtry, i są widoczne tylko przez 24 godziny. Ten ograniczony czas sprawia, że historie cieszą się dużym zaangażowaniem w porównaniu do zwykłych postów. W dzisiejszym świecie historie to jeden z najpopularniejszych sposobów komunikacji na mediach społecznościowych.
