Nestled inside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Fanny’s is a contemporary restaurant that nods to the enduring charm of Hollywood’s classical era.
Named after Fanny Brice—the legendary movie, vaudeville, theater, and radio star portrayed by Barbra Streisand in her Oscar®-winning role in Funny Girl (1968)—the striking two-story, 10,000-square-foot space, conceptualized by the late architect Osvaldo Maiozzi, features a chef-designed open kitchen, elegant bar, and sumptuous, red booth-speckled dining room. The restaurant is supported by Wendy Stark Morrissey, Brice’s granddaughter.
Fanny Brice began her show business career in her teens, and was known for her special brand of humor, charisma, and tireless work. Defying all expectations, Fanny became one of her era’s most prolific entertainers—defining herself, for herself—and paved a path for countless others. Taking a cue from her panache, the restaurant offers a vibrant gathering space in which to escape in sipping and savoring over great conversation, day or night.
