Galco's
If you are a fan of soda, pop, or whatever you want to call it, you should definitely venture over to Galco's Soda Pop Shop off of York Blvd. The owner is full of knowledge and will help point you in the right direction whether that be the original Doctor Pepper aisle or the Rose Petal Soda aisle. Yes, I did say Rose Soda, and yes it taste exactly like a rose but carbonated! Not bad actually, a little strange, but not bad. You can find sodas here that you cannot find anywhere else, sodas that your grandparents and great grandparents drank! It's truly an experience. If you're hungry walk towards the back of the store and there is a small deli with great sandwiches. Order a sandwich and grab a glass bottle of soda--you can eat at one of the tables in the front of the store. If you want dessert just walk on over to the old fashion candy aisle. This place is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, it did mine.

Langer's Deli
Langer's Deli off of Alvarado and 7th is a blast from the past, and a true LA gem. I've been going for the last year and have never once been disappointed. Everyone is so friendly, Greg the host welcomes you back every time with a big smile on his face, and seats you right away. Within seconds, Sal or another waiter will be over to take your order. You sit in brown leather booths, with faux wood tables and small partitions that separate you from the other diners.
The most popular sandwich on the menu is the #19 which is the pastrami on rye with Russian dressing. Both my dad and uncle swear by it. I love the #7, your classic ham and Swiss on rye, with Russian dressing. The rye bread is so crunchy and fresh, it's AMAZING! The Russian dressing is the best I have ever had, and makes me proud to be 1/16th Russian. haha.
Within 5 minutes your sandwich will be in front of you and you will not be disappointed. If you have any room left, have some apple pie.
If you want a 50s dining experience, then try Langer's. It is located in a colorful neighborhood, but don't worry, it's NOT that bad. It's all a part of the experience. There is a parking lot just for Langer's off of Westlake, make sure you get a ticket from the booth and get it stamped before you leave. Oh, and don't forget to get there early, if you want lunch, get there by 11 or 11:30, it get's packed and you'll know why once you sample the food!
