Orleans & York Deli

Orleans & York Deli has a few locations across Los Angeles—this Downtown spot, along with a few South LA delis—but wherever you go, you'll find the same quality po'boys, gumbos and platters of fried oyster, catfish and shrimp. Though the founder, Sami Othman, is a New Yorker through and through, his love of New Orleans cuisine led him to create this Yankee/Southern hybrid. Come hungry: the po'boys here are absolutely massive, and the shrimp version has chunks of shrimp so big you'd swear they were raised in a test tube. Fried platters come with fries and coleslaw, and a variety of muffulettas range from smoked oysters to roast beef. At the Downtown location, diners can choose to sit at the inside counter or on scattered tables outside—and we highly recommend crossing the street to Grand Central Market for some ice cream afterwards.
