If you live in LA you've probably been to Swingers or at least heard of! This Diner has two locations, 802 Broadway in Santa Monica, CA (310) 393-9793 and 8020 Beverly Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA (323) 653-5858 both locations are open until very late 3AM Santa Monica and 4AM West Hollywood depending on days.
I used to go to Swingers somewhat frequently during the time when I used to stay up late, since this was a while ago, I hadn't been there in a long time and didn't remember what the menu options where. Recently in LA for a friend's band performance that ended late, feeling hungry I suddenly remembered that I used to make fun of the veggie burger at Swingers. Yeah, before I stopped eating meat, I used to think that if one wanted to eat a burger that it had to be a "real" burger otherwise, what would the point be? Anyway, those times are gone and I don't see veggie burgers as an escape for someone who is craving a "real" burger but doesn't want to eat meat but simply as a sandwich. I never feel like eating burgers anyway.. Oh well, back to Swingers... this is a hip, old school diner. Especially the Santa Monica location that seems younger than the West Hollywood one, they made a diner with traces of the 50's in the decoration as well as a lot of details from the new era! The food is good and as I just recently found out, they have a few good options of vegan and vegeterian meals on their menu. I was very happy to not have to pick items out of the recipe and at the same time eat at a regular restaurant where not only vegans eat. I had the "Vegan Wrap" and it was really good! so good that I want to go back. It was cheap too! I think the vegan wrap costs around $7.00. I'll make sure about the price next time I go back :)
