Fodor's Expert Review Canter's Delicatessen

You'll find this noisy, crowded, but festive version of the 1930s Los Angeles institution next to the race and sports book. A stainless-steel counter and dining tables make for a clean, almost futuristic look. Dive into huge sourdough rye sandwiches packed with corned beef or pastrami, as well as generous sandwiches with other deli meats and cheeses, and their famous barley-bean soup. During big games (or March Madness) in the adjacent book, $20 gets you a bucket of four beers, a basket of chicken wings, and fries. The place is open daily until midnight.
