Like being in Rome. Terrific food, service and ambiance. Our favorite Long Beach restaurant. A little bit longer walk but well worth it.

Good Thai food open for lunch and dinner. No alcohol sales and service can be slow. We prefer to order out and pick up to eat at home, typically takes about 30 minutes from order to pick up ready. Their spicy foods are hot so be aware when you order.

Great American style pizza and Italian meals. Large covered patio dinning in addition to the inside seating. Reliable delivery service, usually around 30-40 minutes on a busy weekend night. Our go-to Pizza takeout source. Personal pizza favorites are the Mamma Mia and the Greek.

Handmade sandwiches, prepared meals to go, full deli with lots of high quality prepared foods. Great for when you don't want to cook and also OK for a quick pick up of breads or some produce. Also own and operate a popular eating establishment next door called Taste. Small plates and wines I believe. Owners live here in the neighborhood. NOTE THE ADDRESS IS WRONG; THEY USED TO HAVE A LOCATION ON 2ND STREET BUT THE REMAINING STORE IS AT 3510 E. BROADWAY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ATTIC.

More upscale dinning than some of the other local spots but still reasonable. Offers an more unique Latin flavored menu. Full bar service and a nice spot to go relax for drinks and small plates at the bar.

Popular local sports bar with a nice back garden dinning area and good "pub food" plus a large selection of draft beers. Our go-to spot for a weeknight dinner when no one wants to cook. Also do breakfast on weekends.

Water front restaurant and cocktail lounge with indoor and outdoor seating at the Hotel Maya across the water from the Aquarium. A little confusing to find (it's by the Queen Mary) but worth the trip for views of the downtown skyline. Often has entertainment in the late afternoon and early evening. A favorite for a summer afternoon or evening drink spot.

Parks & Nature

My favorite spot for a walk or a casual picnic. Runs along Ocean Blvd. from Loma Street (one block west of Euclid) to the Art Museum. Good place to catch a cool breeze on warm days. Multiple locations with stairs to the beach and walking/biking trails. Popular spot for runners and those who want to do a cardio workout on the stairs from the beach to the bluff.

Another local favorite for fresh air and views up and down the coast. Popular with local fisherman and has a small food outlet at the far end. There is a new bike share station located there and it is also one the stops for the Aqua Link a City Transit service that services waterfront stops around the city shoreline. www.lbtransit.com for details.

Family focused park and beach with a protected wading swimming area. I think there are some food services in addition to clean restrooms and a lot of shade and grass for picnicking etc. Nice views of the water and the passing boats, kayaks and stand up paddle boards.

Kayak and stand up paddle rentals. Very popular on weekends. It is great place to access Alamitos Bay and the Naples canals by water. Reasonable rental rates and good for adults and children accompanies by adults. First time paddle board renters have to take a lesson or qualify as experienced. No such requirements for kayaks which are available as singles or doubles.
