"This classic West LA deli has served families in the Los Angeles area since 1948. Its spacious dining room can host larger lunch and dinner groups, but many Angelenos come for the stellar grab-and-go counter, which features mammoth mounds of macaroni and potato salad, fat sour pickles, and piles of cured fish. Slink into one of the booths, order a thick-cut pastrami sandwich and some sides, and treat yourself to one of the most trustworthy deli experiences in Los Angeles." - Rebecca Roland
