Fun Facts

Langer's #19 Pastrami Sandwich is often hailed as one of the best in the United States, praised for its hand-cut pastrami, coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on double-baked rye bread.

The rye bread at Langer's is double-baked, giving it a distinct crispy crust and soft interior, a technique that has become a signature of their sandwiches.

Founded in 1947 by Al Langer, this delicatessen has been serving the Los Angeles community for more than seven decades.

In 2001, Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant received the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for America's Classics, celebrating its contribution to the culinary heritage of the United States.

Despite the chaos and destruction during the riots, Langer's remained open, serving the community and becoming a symbol of resilience.

Langer's has remained a family-owned business since its inception, with Norm Langer, Al's son, continuing the legacy today.

Situated across from MacArthur Park, Langer's has become a staple for both locals and visitors exploring this historic area of Los Angeles.
