If you want a break from the Zoomers livestreaming in front of Erewhon and prix fixe power lunches, this no-frills old-school option is here for you. Just don’t expect your meal to be cheap: A breakfast burrito here costs $19, a classic pastrami sandwich costs $28 and two potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce will run you about $14. But Nate n Al’s has stuck around for over 70 years for a reason—the food’s decent and the vibes are even better. Look for the giant, orange cursive lettering and you’ll find a wormhole to decades past, complete with leather booths and a massive deli case that’s packed with black-and-white cookies, potato salad and smoked fish. Breakfast is served all day here, but I’d recommend the matzo ball soup or the hot corned beef over a regular plate of eggs or a lox bagel. For dessert, you can also order slices of pie from the Apple Pan, one of the best pie shops in Los Angeles.
