"A Los Angeles deli institution, Brent’s has been a staple in the Northridge neighborhood since opening in 1967. The celebrated black pastrami Reuben is reason enough to make the drive, but don’t stop ordering there: Try the latke and blintz sampler for traditional deli fare, or add in an order of knishes for a filling side. The place — marked by a charmingly vintage dining room — has become popular enough that mornings can result in long waits, so plan accordingly." - Mona Holmes
