Rick Caruso: Musso & Frank Grill faces threat as homelessness crisis affects business
Musso & Frank faces crisis risk

Musso & Frank Grill, a well-known Hollywood restaurant with a 100-year history, is experiencing new challenges due to the ongoing homelessness crisis in Los Angeles.

Rick Caruso, referencing the restaurant’s longevity through major events such as World War II and the Great Depression, flagged that current conditions — specifically the presence of encampments outside the premises — may deter visitors. Caruso attributed these difficulties to local administration and its management of homelessness in the area. Continued concerns over public safety and the impact on landmark businesses are prompting renewed debate on urban policy and community response in major U.S. cities.

Caruso has recently spotlighted positive developments elsewhere, including the Rosewood Miramar Beach ranking number two nationally in Travel + Leisure awards. He also highlighted the upcoming reopening of Palisades Village as significant for community renewal. These prior statements contrast with his current concerns over the challenges facing Musso & Frank Grill.
