Greenblatt’s Deli is a gem off of Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Calif. It is a great spot to grab a sandwich or other quick bite. However, the menu is much more extensive at this restaurant established in 1926.

Famous for their pastrami sandwiches, one will also find a number of chicken and turkey plates with an extensive selection of sides, soups, and desserts. The Sunset Diner had a number “3” on the menu, a classic pastrami with Swiss on rye with coleslaw. The sandwich was amazing, but a pleasant surprise was the pecan pie for dessert.

The main level of the restaurant hosts a deli counter, wine shop, and some wood booths with wait service. Above the main level is a semi-mezzanine with more seating with wait service and stained glass to the front. One will be dining in Hollywood history.
