Scenes of Caesar’s (where the salad was invented, and is still the best) Chiki Jai’s (an Ava Gardner and bullfighters’ favorite), Jai Lai, Revolution Boulevard, Zona Norte. Barrymore haunts, Aloha Club and The Long Bar, are recently closed, but still standing, as are many of the legendary Hollywood haunts. Tragically, most of Caliente is gone.
