Over 100 years and still going...

Probably the only place in Chinatown/downtown where you'll find free parking, Philippe's offers their famous french dip. You can choose to single or double dip your sandwich. They have meats to choose from such as beef, lamb, turkey and pork. I didn't try the beef because I am not allowed to eat red meat, but the turkey was okay. I guess if you're going to have a french dip, get a french dip! They also have 9 cent coffee and desserts like cheesecake. The atmosphere is pretty cool - they have saw dust all over the floor and old fashioned telephone booths and old fashioned water dispensers. It is definitely a great experience.
