The large menu is filled with American comfort food dishes and there are dozens of beers on tap at the bar. The original spot was made noteworthy by its famous clientele which included old Hollywood stars and musicians like Jim Morrison, who reportedly once relieved himself on the bar. The restaurant later installed a plaque on that spot to commemorate the Lizard King’s actions.

‘Rivers in the sky’ have drenched California, yet even more extreme rains are possible

Our go-to order is the #5, a baguette topped with imported prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula, but the off-menu El Conquistador is also a great option. It’s filled with chorizo, prosciutto, Manchego, and a few pickled peppers—the perfect addition to any picnic, or meal to celebrate your breakup with Netflix. This classic daytime-only Iranian spot on Westwood Blvd is best known for its beef tongue, and rightfully so—it's a meaty, tangy masterpiece that deserves all of its hype. We love their kuku sabzi, an herb-based frittata, or the juicy beef koobideh on thin, chewy sangak bread. Also, come any day of the week and experience a front patio that turns into the social heart of the neighborhood each afternoon.

The beef double-dip at Philippe the Original

Today it’s known not only for its food but also for its margaritas, with about 30 different types on the menu. Located at the foot of the Santa Monica Pier, this beachside bar and restaurant first opened as Laring’s Lunch Room and predated the pier by seven years. In its long history it’s been a biker bar, a hangout for bodybuilders and lifeguards and today is still a popular fun spot with a beach/sports bar vibe and hefty servings of comfort food. Additionally, the hotel is hosting a weekends-only “tea party” on the Belvedere Terrace every Saturday and Sunday featuring a DJ, eclectic and antique China and glassware, floral-themed cocktails, tea sandwiches, and more. In a town that loves The Hat, Tops isn’t afraid to go toe to toe.

It includes everything on the regular afternoon tea menu plus traditional Chinese tea service where tea is brewed twice at the table in a small clay pot. Jeff’s Table isn’t the first deli hidden behind a liquor store in Highland Park—they’re not even the first one to occupy the space they’re in. But hidden or not, this is one of our favorite places to get a sandwich in the neighborhood. Order a side of the spicy, creamy Thai peanut mac salad to balance everything all out. We always hope that reboots are as good as the one the people behind Mizlala pulled off at this historic walk-up window in West Adams. Johnny's Pastrami combines everything you want in an old-school deli stand (a fast food-style menu, exceptional pastrami, life-affirming matzo ball soup) with nice touches like serving their sandwiches on Tartine marble rye.

We particularly love the French Dip pastrami, which is about as thick as a football and perfect to split. Johnny’s also owns the bar right next door, which means you can bring food from the restaurant to their string-lit patio and start the night with a round of cocktails. It takes a strong jaw and serious appetite to conquer a cemita poblano, a beast of a sandwich constructed on a plush sesame roll jam-packed with ripe avocados, panela cheese, Oaxacan string cheese, salsa, onions, and meat. While the thinly pounded and deep-fried hunk of carne beef milanesa is the most traditional filling, there’s also house-made queso de puerco (pork head cheese), pata de res (pickled beef tendons), and even salmon.

Top on that list is their thin-sliced pastrami, a big, messy concoction reminiscent of some of Southern California's best options like The Hat and Johnnie's. It is a sexy sandwich, or as enticing as layers of cured meat and cheese can be. The attraction starts with the bread, a square of focaccia mottled with voluptuous, deep brown bubbles. Menashe credits the texture to his use of two starters, milk, a touch of honey and three kinds of flour.

Though primarily known for their burgers (and one epic fried chicken sandwich) in-the-know diners aren't afraid of skewing to the pastrami at Plan Check on occasion. The $15 nosh is a heaping pile of pastrami with all the necessary fixins — including a fried egg. Jeff’s is a Pico Boulevard legend thanks to its kosher practices and outstanding pastrami. There are sausages, burgers, and wraps on the expansive restaurant’s menu, but what you’re really after is the house-smoked pastrami, available by the heap.

It is widely reputed to be the most famous sandwich shop in the world. Maybe it’s the trifecta of the Italian sunshine, romance in the air and the general aura of vacation vibes that imbues the sandwiches with a bit of magic. It’s surprisingly hard to find a good bánh mì in LA proper, which is why a trip to My Dung feels like hitting the jackpot.

Kids and adults alike will have a ball at Dream Come True Tea & Party Room located in Bixby Knolls. Appetites of all sizes will be satisfied with options to order a la carte or a set menu. The tea for two includes scones with clotted cream and jam, salad or soup, sandwiches, fruit, desserts, and two pots of tea for $57.

You can find the tender beef on numerous sandwiches, from Philly-style sandwiches to over-the-top options like “Terrible City” topped with mozzarella, onions, dill pickle potato chips and slaw. It’s worth the trek to Brea for something like a smoky Wagyu pastrami panini. It’s made by La Carniceria Wagyu and doubles as a halal butcher shop.

A Valley staple with an old school Americana vibe, Daglas offers thinly sliced pastrami served on the ubiquitous french roll. It’s a mound of meat that comes classically wrapped in yellow deli paper, made all the better thanks to the kitschy interior decoration job and old school signage. Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli opened in 1949, and though the sandwich counter is busy, the shop’s massive counter dedicated to dessert and pastry is worth a look.

The house-made pickled sauerkraut and pickled chili relish help make this hearty sandwich one of LA’s best. Maciel’s Plant-Based Butcher & Deli is the vegan sandwich shop LA didn’t know it needed. But now that the city has gotten a taste of Maciel Bañales-Luna’s incredible creations, there’s no turning back. While all of the sandwiches stuffed with scratch-made proteins are hearty and flavorful, it’s the jackfruit-filled flores that never fails to satisfy. Imbued with Mexican chiles, tomatoes, spices, and a little maple syrup, the jackfruit’s smoky and spicy profile is not-to-be-missed. Jeff Strauss had a TV producer and writer career before meandering into sandwich creation in Highland Park, where he serves sandwiches, salads, and more inside Flask liquor store.
