Canter's, Los Angeles

Canter's Kibitz Room - In the grand tradition of New York-style delis, a good night at Canter’s ends with an earful from a surly waitress and a bellyful of pastrami on rye. With the magic combination of "free" and "pickles" this classic L.A. restaurant draws equal parts drunk bar hoppers and insomniac senior citizens.  The brightly lit and inexplicably orange interior is friendly to neither, but the menu has something for all.  See your favorite local band at the dank and tiny adjoining Kibitz Room, then pop in for the best Matzo this side of Manhattan.
