Atomic Cafe: The Noisiest Corner in J-Town:

In the late 1970’s, a Japanese American, family-owned diner in Los Angeles’ J-Town became a lively gathering space for the L.A Punk Rock scene. Sansei “Atomic Nancy” took over her parents’ restaurant and cranked up the jukebox. From Japanese American locals to the biggest rock stars of the day, the Atomic Cafe became an important part of L.A.’s punk rock history.
