1. Mort’s Deli Marker

Inscription. Mort's Deli was a beloved restaurant in Pacific Palisades for over 40 years. Every now and again, a single person can change the trajectory of a place. Mort was a father, husband and to many - a force of nature - a champion of community and family. Mort's Deli will forever be remembered as the place to congregate, to feel welcome and to know that someone will share their kindness. His legacy will long be remembered and this tradition will live on at Palisades Village.
