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.

Ben K.: Great egg sandwiches. Get the Fairfax (but be sure to add bacon) or the sausage, egg, and cheese.
Belle Huang: Worth the wait. Get the gaucho sandwich: seared wagyu tri-tip steak, chimichurri, pickled red onions, over medium egg and seasoned arugula in a warm brioche bun. Fairfax is great too!
Andrew Giel: super hip spot with delicious sandwiches. sorta pricey though

Melissa Richardson Banks aka Downtown Muse: Order the grain stick ($2.75) and request a side of Emmenthaler Swiss cheese ($2). Have it toasted for a great "off-menu" sandwich ... great for breakfast, or for lunch, with their yummy soup!
AMW: In my opinion, LA's best bakery, with fresh pastries, focaccia breads, quiches, sandwiches...all handmade on-site daily.
Doug de Wet: Wonderful bakery! Lovely breads, pastries, and sandwiches, the Going Dutch on ciabatta is a winner.

Lawrence T: Highly suggest the Reuben instead of the MacArthur Park, which was made to please the fans of another awesome deli.
Fahad M: The Reuben sandwich here is amazing, always better to get here before noon
Adrian Phillips: Pastrami sandwich, bagels and cream cheese. The pastrami and egg bagel is a great breakfast choice if the line at a Egg Slut is too long.

Bollare: Grab AMAZE desserts to go from the chic patisserie, grab a sandwich from the front-room café, or relax with friends in the main room. A downtown staple! My personal pref. is the fried pasta! -Kate
