Philippe The Original

Chinatown · around · $

I've eaten at Philippe's before Blue Whale shows, after World Stage sessions, at every hour of the night. It doesn't fail. The lamb dip is the order.

Downtown LA institution since 1908. French dip sandwiches, ten-cent coffee, sawdust floors. Feeds the pre-show crowd since before anyone was born.
