Canter's Deli: Septuagenarian Hip
Down on Fairfax folks are excited about the LA late-night noshing institution Canter's Deli's upcoming 75th anniversary. This mainstay of mile-high smoked meat on rye is celebrating the big 7-5 by offering 75-cent corned beef sandwiches from 12 noon until midnight on Monday March 20th. While this is pretty exciting food-stuff, we're slightly more tickled to have discovered that Canter's is so in the mix with current trends that they have their very own MySpace page. (And now you know that this LAist isn't anywhere near hip because we couldn't think of anything hipper than "in the mix with current trends" to say.) In any event, we're guessing Canter's, that old geezer (who is "up for anything" so long as it's not the High Holy Days, according to their profile) is going to be pretty popular come Monday on their diamond anniversary; at last tally, they've got an impressive 1349 friends on their list. Are you one of them?
