"Sure, you could join for the white-hair special at 5pm, but this place shines late night after some drinking in Hollywood. Grab a matzoh ball soup, or pastrami sandwich and try to spot some aspiring or washed-up celebs. Then grab a road rugalach on your way out. Open 24 hours!" - One Long House
"In no world does Canter's deli food compare to that of Langer’s, Brent’s, or Factor's, but doesn't matter when you stumble into this Fairfax landmark at 3:30am. You’ll see drunk club kids standing in line next to your 70-year-old landlord, and the band you just saw play at The Roxy passed out in a booth by the bathroom. It’s a complete mess, and also an LA rite of passage. And if you feel like you have one more round in you, head to Kibitz Room, the attached bar in the back that’s every bit as weird as you’d think." - brant cox, garrett snyder
"An LA institution, Canter's isn't the best Jewish deli in town, but it's certainly the most convenient. The late-night crowd is a fascinating cross-section of blacked-out celebrities and all your exes you never called back. As for the food, skip the burgers and stick to the deli fare, whether it's a pastrami sandwich, cheese blintzes, or latkes. Canter's Reuben is a comforting greasy corned beef sandwich, but if you're really looking to comatose yourself, order the Monte Cristo sandwich with turkey, ham, and cheese on French toast. Open 24 hours." - brant cox, arden shore, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"Canter’s Deli is the stuff of Los Angeles legend. Beyond its staple pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, soul-warming soups, and kosher-style deli classics like potato pancakes and knish, the ambience is hard to beat, especially in the middle of the night when the city dies down. That colorful, weird ceiling has been feeding LA night owls for generations, and Canter’s continues to be one of the most fun places to hang out late on a Saturday night." - Rebecca Roland
