In previous posts on this thead I mentioned that the surviving remnants of the lobby to the former Oriental Theatre became PAO Asian Restaurant.

Well now it seems that those movie palace remnants have given PAO the honor of being one of the "50 Most Beautiful Restaurants in America"...

Interestingly enough there is so much more surviving ornate plasterwork in the former United Artists Theatre lobby, than there is in PAO.

So hopefully some restauranteur sees the potential in redeveloping the UA space relatively soon!!
