The Kettle is the iconic restaurant of Manhattan Beach, at the corner of Highland Ave. and Manhattan Beach Blvd. 

It's open all day and all night, and seems to always attract a crowd--especially on weekend mornings. 

Visit http://thekettle.net and you won't learn much about the restaurant's history. Just that it opened in 1973 and serves really good food. You can check out the menu here. 

We love to visit, take a seat in one of the big, comfy red booths and pick up a soup or salad. 

We also photographing the Kettle, with the best time slot the morning, when the neon is still lit, against the soft night skies.
