As we mentioned last week, don't forget that it is Canter's 75th Anniversary today. And for a whole three quarters you can get a Hot Corned Beef sandwich on Rye with a pickle, potato salad and a chocolate rugula (limit one order per person).

A line has been going out the door all day long, averaging a 10-15 minute wait. It's dinner time right now and we can't imagine how long the wait is now. Luckily, there is some time left as the deal ends at 12:00 a.m. tonight.

Beware though, according to Canter's MySpace profile, their marital status is marked as "swingers". Because of that (we're just not into that kind of meat), you might catch us across the street at Nova Express noshing on cosmic vegan pizza and a Galaxy 69 smoothie.

If you went, leave us a comment and tell us how it was...

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.

If this story helped you today, please become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission. It just takes 1 minute to donate below.
