For those who never heard of Langer ‘s, will seem weird to know that one of the best deli in the country, even the world , is located in Los Angeles.

But most surprising is that it is located in the midst of the unthinkable: in the area of ​​Pico Union / Westlake , opposite the historic MacArthur Park, at the corner of Alvarado and Seventh Street . There is Langer’s Delicatessen, full of the most delightful stories accumulated in the 66 years with the establishment.

Their menu is a long list of options, but most are rather classic pastrami sandwich ($13.50). It does not include potatoes, or salt water, or pickles: everything is paid separately.

But the most popular is the Sandwich #19, which is pastrami , Swiss cheese and cole slaw, with classic Russian style dressing, preparation of the house.

The pastrami is cooked in point, is soft, juicy and the flavor is just delicious.

These sandwiches are served in a bar fine rye bread (rye bread) whose middle part has the softness of a freshly baked but the edges are crisp.

Other options include Roast Beef sandwich ($14.25) or Corned Beef ($15.20). In their letter they also have burgers ($6.50).

The sandwiches are great. If it takes too hungry can share, but when testing the first bite surely want everything.

If you still have a little place in your stomach , do not miss the Apple Pie ($4.75). It is truly a delight. Not too sweet, can separate the taste of bread, even predominant brandy sauce. If you want to give more intensity, order A la Mode (5.75) with vanilla ice cream.

Langer’s retains the Jewish style in the preparation of their food, as did the founders, Al and Jean Langer.

If you do not want to wait or do not have too long to fill a table , you can place your order by phone, go in your car and receive smoothly.

You can also reach it without taking your car. The restaurant is within walking distance of the Metro Red Line, the Westlake – MacArthur Park station .
