By the way, for a good pastrami on rye, go to Arnie's. For a good omelette, go to the omelette parlor. Kaplan's Deli 3211 Harbor Bl. Another wanna-be New York Jewish deli. I tried the cookies they had in the bakery counter up front and was disappointed.
Food is a little bland.
Go to Arnie's. It may be a super-hip joint, but it looks like a dive to me. I have not had a bad dining experience here yet. The gumbo is awesome. The soul burgers are huge and tasty.
