Sneak Peek Five: Friendship Auditorium and the Los Angeles Breakfast Club
Founded in 1925, the Los Angeles Breakfast Club meets at Friendship Auditorium in Griffith Park every Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. The Breakfast Club website says, “What started as an equestrian group has evolved into an open membership of professionals, entertainers, retirees, and friends — people who enjoy their community and are enthusiastic about living in Southern California.” The Los Angeles Breakfast Club built Friendship Auditorium in Griffith Park for the City of LA in 1965. Friendship Auditorium, 3201 Riverside Drive.
