After actor Jon Hamm finished filming "No Sudden Move" in Detroit during the pandemic, he went on "The Tonight Show" to promote the crime drama. As he spoke with host Jimmy Fallon, the conversation turned to coney islands. American or Lafayette?

DETROIT – It’s been almost two weeks since Detroit’s well-known Lafayette Coney Island closed for a rat infestation. It’s their second shutdown since 2022. Now, the owners are seeing increased pressure from the community. Malik Shabazz, a community activist, is calling for the restaurant to be permanently closed.

The owner of American Coney Island in Detroit says the recent closure of Lafayette Coney Island due to rat infestation impacts their business.

The Detroit Health Department said that Lafayette Coney Island in Downtown Detroit has closed once again to address a rat problem.
