A Disney-themed bar and restaurant in Hollywood that has been open for nearly 80 years appears to have fallen into a death-like sleep. Only this time, there may be no handsome prince coming to save it.
Snow White Cafe, at 6769 Hollywood Blvd., was first opened in 1946 by a friend of Walt Disney’s, whose artists painted murals of the movie’s characters on the walls, according to the restaurant’s website.
In a Sunday Facebook post by Vintage Los Angeles called “Goodbye Snow White,” a picture of what appears to be the restaurant’s interior shows the walls and flooring stripped and demolition debris strewn about. The celebrated “Snow White” murals are nowhere to be seen.
Calls to the phone number listed on the restaurant’s website went to a line that appears to have been disconnected. The restaurant’s Instagram page also appears to have been removed.
Locals and tourists alike commented on the Facebook post, expressing their disappointment that the historic restaurant may be gone for good.

“Very sad,” one comment read. “Every time I was in that area I stopped in. The artwork, the mural, the history … it survived for decades. And that’s amazing for Hollywood. I will miss it.”
The restaurant once included a mural of Snow White above the front door with the message: “We hope we have pleased you,” according to Discover Los Angeles. The walls also featured paintings of the film’s dwarfs, which were created by the film’s animators.
Snow White Cafe is the second iconic restaurant to close in Hollywood this year. This month, the Arby’s on Sunset Boulevard shut its doors after 55 years.
President Biden’s top antitrust enforcers have promised to sue monopolies and block big mergers — a cornerstone of the administration’s economic agenda to restore competition to the economy.
Below are 15 major cases brought by the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission since late 2020 (including cases against Google and Meta initially filed during the Trump administration just before Mr. Biden took office).

The government has won several but not all the cases. And with only a few months remaining for the current administration, the number of suits is climbing, as regulators go after dominant companies in tech, pharmaceuticals, finance and even groceries.

Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates for the First Time in Four Years
Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, said that the central bank would take future interest rate cuts “meeting by meeting” after lowering rates by a half percentage point, an unusually large move.
Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to reduce the degree of policy restraint by lowering our policy interest rate by a half percentage point. Our patient approach over the past year has paid dividends. Inflation is now much closer to our objective, and we have gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent. We’re going to take it meeting by meeting. As I mentioned, there’s no sense that the committee feels it’s in a rush to do this. We made a good, strong start to this, and that’s really, frankly, a sign of our confidence — confidence that inflation is coming down.
