Canter's Deli in LA

I'll file this story under the column of "I'm Learning to Like LA".

H and I have been part of a co-ed book club for about eleven years now, and the couple who invited us to join have, in the past year, moved to the Mid-Wilshire District of LA so they don't have such awful commutes to Santa Monica and Downtown. That has not stopped them from attending book club in Claremont, and June seemed to be the right time for a book club field trip to LA.

We carpooled with other friends who were jonesing for a meal at Canter's Deli, and we were happy to help in their pre-book club stop at this 80-year-old landmark eatery. I loved the step-back-in-time atmosphere of the place. You get a sense of what you are in for when you see the signs outside. The food was excellent, and Kim bought some cookies to take to book club which were also yummy - melt-in-your-mouth. I'm sure there must be a Huell Howser episode about this place that I should look up and watch. We'll be back.
