I am currently traveling, but my friend in LA knew that I'd want to hear this wonderful news right away:
The Nickel Diner
is now will be open for dinner from 6-11PM
eventually!
(See comments for updated info.)

Perfect timing. I hope that business continue to boom and that by the time I get back, they'll be able to even stay open until late-night.
I am so happy for you lucky DTLA-ers. And for myself, because I can't wait to go back.
Hm, I wonder if they're hiring...
