Bay Cities, a beloved Italian deli in Santa Monica established in 1925, was closed following a health inspection that uncovered a vermin infestation. The inspection highlighted additional sanitation problems, including unsatisfactory hot and cold food holding temperatures, poor cleaning practices, and inadequate handwashing. As of May 27, the restaurant remains shut, with no announced reopening date. Previous inspections had noted similar issues, raising concerns about consistent hygiene practices at the establishment. This incident aligns with a troubling trend of temporary closures in Los Angeles due to vermin, as seen recently at other local restaurants like Erewhon and Casa Vega.
