Must Try
The #19 - pastrami with cole slaw and Russian dressing on rye. Arguably better than Katz's. The hand-cut pastrami is the point. Cash only.
Best Time
Lunch is prime time. Closed Sundays. The neighborhood is rough but the deli is safe and worth it.
Know Before You Go
Since 1947, hand-cutting pastrami that rivals NYC's best. Nora Ephron declared it superior to Katz's. The Westlake location is unchanged - counter seating, cash only, no frills. LA essential.
