Cole's French Dip Sandwich
Saturday I went out to hangout at Downtown LA. Now, I know downtown is the up and coming place to be, but I still have a hard time going there to hang out where one street is all trendy and the next street a guy is peeing on the sidewalk. I was curious to try out a restaurant down there called Cole’s. The consulting chef is Neal Fraser (who owns Grace) so I thought it would be awesome. But it was just eh. I had the French dip sandwich with pastrami. I think I am somewhat ruined since I’ve had the pastrami at Katz’s Deli in NYC. Now, everytime I eat pastrami, it just doesn’t compare. I mean the sandwich was ok….but the ambiance was great. It was an old saloon style place with a beautiful mahogany wood bar with an extensive bar list. A great date place due to the ambiance but you won’t be impressing your date with the food, but I would go back for the bar and for the vibe. Also, next door (literally next door) is a lounge type bar called The Association. Great place to head over to for more drinks….it is chill and not pretentious.
