About
The Fairfax Avenue deli that has fed Los Angeles since 1931 and still serves well past midnight. The move is a tall hot pastrami on rye from its own bakery.
The rye is baked in house, along with the pastries and black-and-white cookies, so the pastrami sandwich is a Canter's sandwich top to bottom; the Reuben is the other one people come for. Time Out describes the late crowd, musicians included, filing in for a stacked pastrami sandwich. You can sit down, take out, or order online for pickup or delivery. Hours run late every night; check the deli's own site for the day you're going.
