Less about glitz and glam and better known for its low-key working class attitude, Burbank has a family friendly affordable nature. Crafty restaurants sit side-by-side with auto-repair and vintage shops in this amalgamated town born from the aviation and film industries. It promises a well-rounded casual neighborhood with a little something for everyone.

The Little Dinette than Could
Ralph Persinger, aka "Mr. Lunchbox", boasts a collection of nearly 3,000 vintage metal lunch boxes from the 50's all the way up through the 90's, many original non-reproduction designs. Together with his wife Kim, they opened Burbank Antiques, which is more like an homage to the last half of the 20th century. Everything from Schwinn service tags to that clear plastic phone popular in the early 90's. You'll also find more vintage vinyl here than most nearby record stores, in addition to vintage advertising from the Mad Men era. Walk out of this place with that truly awesome Clash of the Titans lunch box you never knew you needed.
