Other places that we've patronized in the past and enjoyed:
Providence--It's a seafood restaurant with mmmm bacon in every course, including dessert.
Violet--Little dishes and reeeaally little glass of milk and cookies as the coda.
Blue Velvet--After an Edward Scissorhands matinee with the mom, a very early glass of wine and well-prepared dinner. Talk about crazy, but works dessert combinations.
Tender Greens--What, no corn?! But these big, fresh salads with choices of protein are great. Cupcakes don't hurt.
Ford's Filling Station--Everyone knows about this other Culver City stop.
Nook--Comfort food, but the communal table stools are uncomfortable.
Jar--Meat and veggies roasted and braised right. Does it really stand for Just Another Restaurant?
Angeli Cafe--Homey Italian food with great bread. It's fun to watch people try to find the door. Wish that chicken pasta was a regular menu item.
Lemon Moon--Great prepared salads like Clementine. Too bad it's only open during lunch on the weekdays. Knew it would be good before it opened when INK saw the Zumex machine in the window while running.
Joan's on Third--Salads, soups, cupcakes, coffee, gelato.
Spoon House--Spicy Japanese spaghetti with soft French bread.
Zax--We'll alway remember you as our favorite restaurant. . .

Can't beat Canter's
Canter's Deli
419 No. Fairfax Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Ph: (323) 651-2030
Unfortunately Rodney wasn't at his special booth when we arrived,--for some reason he's a reassuring sight for us--but you can't beat Canter's for late night food. What to get? Matzo ball soup and a corned beef reuben with fries, of course.
Sometimes we mix it up with the mish mosh, but tonight we got the pure and simple matzo ball, tasty with chicken schmaltz, in broth. You never know when the the bagel chips are going to run out and tonight we had the sorry substitute of saltines.
The reuben, which can also be ordered with peppery pastrami, is layered with sauerkraut and swiss cheese between buttery toasted bread. It requires plenty of napkins. It's not the biggest and some claim Nate n' Al's is the best, but we're always pleased with this guilty pleasure sandwich. And the crisp on the outside, tender on the inside steak fries along with two types of pickles rounded out the meal as the vegetable group.
If we want dessert, we go with a shake or rugalah; the other desserts tend to be dry. One day we'll try the cheesecake or the black and white. Later you can check out some local music acts at the Kibbitz room or just choose a booth that is in the adjoining dining room and listen in. The wait staff is a quirky mix of grandmotherly, scary, perturbed, loquacious, coiffed and courteous folks that add to the experience. You know the waiter likes you if he or she divides the matzo ball soup between two bowls when you share. As long as we're hungry after a concert, we'll be noshing at Canter's.
