Whether it’s a quick afternoon stop or a post late shift dinner, check out these satisfying spots to nosh on some noodles or maybe even chow down on a tasty turkey club.
Canter’s Deli
An L.A. institution since 1931, Canter’s is home to some of the most authentic Jewish Deli food in town.While the late night crowd is a fascinating cross-section of Los Angeles residents, the deli fare is appetizing. Skip the burgers and stick to the comfort food – cheese blintzes, latkes, matzo ball soup, or a bagel and lox. Canter’s Reuben is always a popular choice, the ultimate greasy treat. If you’re looking for full-on decadence, munch on the Monte Cristo – it’s everything you’ve ever wanted in a grilled turkey ham and cheese sandwich.
