Factor's Famous Deli

A weekday lunch at Factor’s Deli is like buying a ticket to the most stimulating living museum in the country. There are bickering neighbors, retired talent agents still sending emails, and at least five people who went home with Robert Redford in the ‘80s. Each one will tell you a different dish is their favorite. That’s par the course at this historic Jewish deli in Pico-Robertson, considering the menu has over 100 items on it. For us, it’s all about the classics: corned beef on rye (with plenty of spicy house mustard on the side), lox, and the best, most decadent matzo ball soup in the city.
