Alison Lowenstein of The Gothamist has a new article up entitled “A New Yorker’s Search for Jewish Delis In LA” – and includes Langer’s along with most of our well-known fellow delicatessens here in Los Angeles.

…this James Beard Award-winning deli boasts having the best pastrami. Although Langer’s has the feel of an authentic Jewish deli, it’s not kosher. They have ham on the menu and you can order pastrami with swiss cheese and Russian dressing. If you’re not a pastrami fan, sip a homemade cream soda and fill up on blintzes, potato pancakes, and other deli specialties.

 

Great list – check it out!

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is thrilled and honored to be named to Deli Fresh Threads’ “Los Angeles Top 10 Sandwiches” list, which is quite interesting and eclectic and demonstrates a deep knowledge of varied LA cuisine:

I enjoy the idea of the sandwich so much that I’m pretty easy to please with one. I’ve gone through phases where I’ve only eaten peanut butter sandwiches on white bread. Plain? Sure. Delicious? Totally.

But moving to Los Angeles seven years ago has opened up my mind to a number of other sandwiches that I never could have imagined before. What’s so great about Los Angeles is its diversity, not only between people of different background, but of the number and variety of neighborhoods. Little Tokyo, Little Armenia, Little Ethiopia, Thai Town, Chinatown, etc. etc. I could go on for quite some time. What it highlights is the variety of food styles that come with this diversity.

What it really means is that there are great sandwiches.
