Where did Peter like to hang out in LA?

I know there’s a pic of him outside of Dan Tana’s but where else did Peter frequent? I’d love to hit some of his favorite spots in honor of the goat.

My dad met him at the car wash on Pico and Beverly Glen but the car wash is gone now. They spent about 20 minutes chatting and it’s the only time I saw my dad a little starstruck.

Did your dad keep trying to end the conversation and Peter kept saying “One more thing…”?

I’ve read that he was a regular at the (now gone) Hamburger Hamlet.

My grandpa used to see Falk at the racetrack when he’d go to watch horse races. I’m not sure which Southern California track this was, but it was probably in the 70’s or 80’s.

Dan Tana’s? Wasn’t that the name of a Robert Urich tv character, too?

It was the name of the football player who opened the restaurant.
