The 14 Best Restaurants Near Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade
"Even if you just moved to Santa Monica to pursue your dream of posting highly curated beach photos on social media, Bay Cities is a place you’ve heard about. And rightfully so. This Italian deli and grocer has been around since 1925, and is home to one of the most famous sandwiches on the West Coast: The Godmother. This salami, capicola, ham, mortadella, and prosciutto-topped behemoth is a cold-cut masterpiece and one of the few upsides to being anywhere near The Promenade. Tip: Lines are always bad here, so just call-in your order ahead of time and jump to the front." - brant cox
