Wonder Woman (a.k.a. Dana Weiss) and her superhero pals—all local actors—are regulars at Pink's. When it opened in 1939, Pink's was a tiny pushcart stand that relied on a nearby hardware store for its electricity. Now the Hollywood landmark sells thousands of hotdogs each week. "Pink's is authentic, which is unique in L.A., where everything is new," says owner Gloria Pink. "Things in this city change very fast, but Pink's always stays the same."
