StickyDrama: A 100-year-old hidden treasure in the "Historic Core" of downtown LA. The french dip sandwiches are delish (I recommend the pastrami and chedder). And the decor is like a brothel from the Wild West. Read more.
Ilusha Zaritskiy: The French dips are a must have, get the full sized, because it's so tasty half is not enough. Also old-timey cocktails and a prohibition - era speakeasy around the corner. Try the sazerac.
LAist: Downtown's French Dip restaurant already has a great regular happy hour, but on Mon. to Wed., they have a great late-night one, too, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. Don't miss the BBQ pork sliders with fries. Read more.

LA Weekly: The fact is inescapable: Langer's serves the best pastrami sandwich in America, in a location perhaps better suited to a tamale merchant. Curbside service (call ahead) and Validated lot parking! Read more.
