About
Philippe's, 1001 N. Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90012 (Chinatown, one block from Union Station), ☎ +1-213-628-3781, [36]. Daily: 6AM-10PM. Aaaah...an LA landmark situated a couple of blocks north of Olvera St. and Union Station is a nostalgic shop with hay and sawdust covered floors. Famous for their 'French Dip' sandwiches dipped in au jus ($4.90), but the real reason to go is the atmosphere and the pastrami — the joint opened in 1908 and the menu still features things like pickled eggs and pig's feet. Coffee is ten cents a cup, but their 60-cent lemonade is even more popular. Expect to queue at any time and the place is mobbed on the nights of Lakers and Dodgers games.
