Canter's Los Angeles Deli Dream
I have had a dream to introduce organic and non-gmo items to the table at Canter's Deli. That waking dream was in a nighttime dream last night.
The owner gave me $60.00 to provide some alternative pastries by a certain date.
I visited here with Nadine a few years ago.
Canter's is in the neighborhood where I grew up as a teen.
It is near the Silent Movie and also the Garden of Palms where my dad lived before he died in Feb 2014.
He was also alive in my dream.
I am scheduled to go to a shabbat dinner in my neighborhood Friday night.

A HISTORY OF CANTER'S
The Canter family originally opened a delicatessen in Jersey City (New Jersey) in 1924. They came west along with many Jews from the northeastern United States in the early 1940s, and opened a delicatessen in the Boyle Heights neighborhood, which at that time had a substantial Jewish population. After World War II, the Jewish population of Boyle Heights left en masse for the Fairfax District, West Hollywood, and other West Side neighborhoods (as well as the San Fernando Valley) and Canter's followed the influx of Jewish businesses west, converting a movie theater (which had previously shown Yiddish-language films) to a delicatessen much larger than its previous spaces.
Canter's quickly became a hangout for show business personalities, given its location and late hours. It has remained such ever since. In the 1960s, Canter's became a late night hang out for hippies, rock musicians, and other countercultural types, partially for the same reasons. Also, many rock musicians had grown up in Fairfax and West Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip was only a half-mile (0.8 km) away. Canter's has remained a favorite of rock musicians to the present day, and is still open 24 hours. Canter's is open every day except for the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
