Doesn't matter if you're packing up a picnic to head to the Rose Bowl or the Hollywood Bowl, this is where you want to stop first to get the best sandwiches in town, fresh bread to make you weep, a selection of fine cheeses and maybe a couple of side salads and dessert, though their Italian cookie offerings are akin to Trader Joe's. When you get there, grab a number and then poke around a bit--there's always a wait at the service deli. Yeah, that's how good the sandwiches are!
Pros: bread and sandwiches
Cons: looooong waits, closed Mondays
