Brent's Deli

19565 Parthenia Ave, Northridge, CA 91324 818-886-5679

Description: NORTHRIDGE. Although the location is unassuming, this is the deli in Los Angeles, according to aficionados. If plain brick walls, green booths, and framed pictures don't wow you, the food certainly will. Sky-high reuben sandwiches are rumored to be the best this side of New York, and eggs Benedict at breakfast and meatloaf at dinner win raves as well. Brent's doesn't serve alcohol, but if you desire a frosty brew, just eat in the pub next door ­ your food will be passed to you through the "beer window."

Langer's

704 S Alvarado St, Los Angeles, CA 90057 213-483-8050

Description: DOWNTOWN. Serving hungry Angelenos for over 65 years, Langer's has achieved iconic status for its tangy, smoky, tender pastrami, which can be had in an astonishing variety of sandwiches and hot plates. While the #19 ­ pastrami, Swiss cheese, and cole slaw ­ is undoubtedly the most popular sandwich, why not go out on a limb with #28, a gargantuan $21 affair involving pastrami, corned beef, tongue, turkey, Swiss cheese, and Russian-style dressing? French dips, steaks, desserts, and an encyclopedic assortment of sides round out the menu.
