Fodor's Review:

This granddaddy of L.A. delicatessens (it opened in 1928) cures its own corned beef and pastrami and has an in-house bakery. It's not the best deli in town, or the friendliest, but it's a true L.A. classic and open 24/7. Next door is the Kibitz Room, where there's live music every night.

Canter's is a true LA experience. Many a deal has been brokered in this busy, well-organized eating space, and star sightings are common. It has the best Matzo Ball Soup (add carrots), hands down. Portions are huge, including the pickles, and you might want to share that pastrami sandwich. Baked goods in the deli are a Jewish food lover's delicacy, and parking is free with validation.
