Philippe's is the birthplace of the French Dip Sandwich. It's right across the street from Union Station and next to the main entrance to Olvera Street. Just out of downtown. It's at Alameda and Ord Street. 100th anniversary this year I believe. Check it out. It's wonderful! Deli style, walk up, sawdust on the floor, picnic tables throughout the entire place. I always order mine 'double dipped'. They actually dunk the bread in the au jus instead of just serving it on the side. 'single dipped' is one half of the bread dunked. 'double dipped' is both halves dunked. FAB!!!!! Look it up. Really work the visit.
