Izzy's deli in Santa Monica takes me back to Brooklyn.

Sunday, June 04, 2006
If you're a New York transplant like me you get strange cravings at all hours of the night for potato pancakes, black and white cookies, matzo ball soup, and pastrami sandwiches stack high on rye bread. Living in Santa Monica you're faced with fancy food and a city that shuts down around 9:30. However, as you drive around the city that oves to sleep you'll find a beacon of hope... a shimmering star in the distance in Izzy's deli. A kid from Brooklyn couldn't find a deli in LA so he built one. Everything in this place is great including the service and the prices. You can't go wrong.
