‘tommy pastrami’ new york delicatessen signs lease at 6th and olive
Almost as a rebuttal to those wondering whether Downtown is only grabbing super-high-end businesses, Tommy Pastrami New York Delicatessen has just signed a lease in the Heron Building at 6th and Olive.
With a motto like “Home of the Jumbo Overstuffed Sandwich,” it’s bound to appeal to the 6th Street budget lunch crowd. A simple breakfast menu provides an early-morning boost to the area, while lunchtime is all about the meat, with Pastrami, corned beef, brisket, reubens and Philly cheese steaks on offer.
Locations currently serve Orange County and Las Vegas, and no opening date for the Downtown location has been announced yet. UPDATE: Opening set for mid-December, according to a company representative.
Tommy Pastrami joins Showbiz Ribs, Neihulé Salon and Union Bagel as a string of names upgrading the ground floor of the 1919 building.

i think tommy is related to Pasta “Gina”

Great! We need more neighborhood joints that cater to residents as well as the “bridge & tunnel” crowd.
Another must go is the”Eastside Market” Good pastrami, great meatball and sausage subs.
Mmmm…meat!
I love Johnny’s Pastrami in Culver City. Maybe a little too ghetto for downtown so Tommy’s will do. LOL.
I like deli food so I welcome this news about Tommy Pastrami but I hope they recognize the competition they’re up against. Just down the block is the solid but unspectacular Yorkshire Grill which despite its Anglophilic name aspires to be a New York style delicatessen. However, just minutes away via subway is Langer’s, which arguably has the best pastrami in the whole country.
Maybe Tommy Pastrami will have regular night time and , even better, late night hours(Can you imagine, in a big city?) as that would give it a leg up on the aforementioned competition.
I agree with Dennis, Langer’s has the absolute best pastrami sandwich. It’s even better than Nate & Al’s. The crusty rye bread is so good at Langers.. Tommy’s should do well since it’s close to local business.
Fantastic pastrami sandwich – some of the best homemade potato salad – and great menu featuring some all time NY Jewish Deli favorites! Tommy the owner was personable and outgoing and even at the height of the busy lunch hour made sure to visit and extend warm greetings. LA has some terrific delis – and Tommy’s is now a welcome addition to this dynamic list!
