Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery

Category: Delis, Sandwiches

This is definitely a foodie destination for my parents' generation (and I'm no spring chicken).  But the Godmother is good and I'd go back for it.  I don't think I'd wait in a particularly long line for it, but there wasn't a long line either time I went.

City Bakery is a neat concept and the food is pretty good, but I think the prices are just too expensive to go here all the time and make this a reasonable value.  But there aren't many places in LA...
