Corky's
Corky's is a restaurant in Los Angeles, California's Sherman Oaks neighborhood. It was designed by Armet & Davis and built in 1958. It has a sweeping roofline, characteristic of Googie Architecture.[1] It was remodeled in the 1970s and has been restored in recent years.[1] It originally opened as Stanley Burke's Coffee Shop on Van Nuys Boulevard and became Corky's in the early 1960s as it transitioned to being open 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Billy Joel played piano at the eatery in the 1970s. After 25 years as Corky's it became the Lamplighter, and was used in 2010 as a filming location for Nightmare on Elm Street. The restaurant is now restored and renovated as a renewed Corky's.[2][3]
