Greenblatt's (8017 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood)

An absolute icon lost to the pandemic.

Greenblatt’s was founded in 1926 by Herman Greenblatt, when Sunset Boulevard was still a dirt road. The Kavin family acquired the business in the 1940s and have owned it for three generations. Celebrities from Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando to Errol Flynn and Billie Holiday were among its regulars. Even Halle Berry told Esquire Magazine that it was her “favorite deli...that houses the best wine in the city.”
