Dipped and Ready

So last night I went to Union Station to pick up my friend Jessie who came home for the long weekend from college. If you havent been to Union Station, you should. It was my first time actually stepping into the place, and my initial reaction was on the lines of amazement. Union Station's interior is reminiscient of those old black and white movies that feature a man and woman bidding a long farewell. Truely, from the the ceiling to the chairs, the place is nice.

After picking her up, we went to Philippe's. Philippe's is one of those old Los Angeles landmark's that still remains true to their roots. On the outside, there are multiple signs that display the delicatessans signature logo, while the interior has a long stretch of rooms for dining, as well as, fully functional phone booths. They're the kind you can imagine Superman changing in.

The food here is so good. Their menu ranges from breakfast, which is served at anytime, to their famous french dipped sandwiches. Upon ordering the sandwich at the counter, the person assembles it in front of you. The service is fast, and the price is cheap. Plus, the atmosphere provides a homey quality.

Post Script:
Make sure to order the lemonade at Philippe's. It's cheap and thirst quenching.
