Or Atlantic street on First Friday.

Or down Pine for restaurants and shops.

[@niccosta]

100% one of the most fun things to do imo and I live there lol

[@EricDanielP]

Would add Retro Row, Kayaking in Naples (Instead of the hydrobike), Aqua Link instead of the harbor cruise (its only 5 bux, most underrated thing to do in LB), Japanese Garden at CSULB, El Dorado Park, Joe Jost's , Rosie's Dog Beach, Brunch at Claires, Watch any game at Legends, Pho in Cambodia Town, LBX, Blind Donkey ( Sebs from LA LA Land) Yoga on the Bluff, Speakeasy at Exhibition Room or Fed Bar... could keep going.

Hi! I'm 22 years-old in Korea. And I'm a college student now. I visited Long Beach, CA when i was 16 years-old. I stayed Long Beach for a month. At that time, i was third grade in middle school student, and i went to study languages. About 7 years later, i still remember that time. It was really brilliant time in my life. So i was looking for a Long Beach downtown's video thinking about that time. I finally watched your KZbin. Thank you for helping me recall those memories. Have a good day 🤍

As a long beach resident I would also recommend MOLAA (Museum of Latin American Art) It's free on Sundays.

Not sure how old you are but I too was raised in LB. And while it may look like its getting worse its actually way better and much safer than it was in the late 80s and early 90s. The downtown area was trash

[@vernecerwilliams4065]

Parkers Lighthouse I my Favorite restaurant in Long Beach, that's also in Shoreline Village. Downtown Long Beach is Really bustling with breweries and restaurants. Kings Fish house has stellar seafood. And at Xmas time, the ambiance is Awesome

[@jak8714]

One of my family's favorite restaurants is Casa Sanchez on Anaheim; it looks pretty run down, but the owners are friendly, the food is both cheap and delicious, and the portions are glorious. You can pick up an eight dollar burrito big enough for dinner and lunch tommorow, and the refried beans are to die for. We also rather like the Belmount Brewery; a bit expensive, kinda upscale, but the drinks are good and the food is great. Asian Chef on Attlantic is a popular Chinese restaurant; their food is quick, cheap, and cooked freshly to order; their house combo is particularly popular and one of my favorites. The Fuji Revolving Sushi bar is exactly what it sounds like; it's very easy to rack up a big bill there, but the large selection of small dishes makes it easy to try out dozens of styles, and find a new favorite. Poke and More is a smaller asian/hawiian restaurant on Carson with a great selection of interesting and unique dishes. Their Poke burrito is spectacular, and well worth the matching price.

[@johnnykool5083]

Nice to see a video about my city lol Definitely forgot to mention 2nd st, location of Open Sesame and lots of other restaurant choices, snacks and ice cream , pubs, bars and shops

Would you say that’s the best pho in LB??? There’s a handful of places... Pho America, Long Beach Pho, Cyclo noodles, 123 pho

[@jup1828]

@@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy 100% BEST IN LB! I have eaten those other Pho places, and they are solid in flavor and prices are average across the board, but something about the little devil details is what makes Pho Hong Phat amazing. The chili paste/sauce alone gives a gentle kicked that no other place comes close too. The pastry breads they have are buttery goodness. And most of the other Pho places offer more than just Pho, menus that almost stretch a little thin...but P.H.P keeps it simple and makes it brilliant. Brother. Meat. Noodles. Sooooo amazing.

Facts, pho haunt phat is the best place in Long Beach

[@renameow]

I know right, I used to live around long beach until I move. There is a bunch of homeless people and I mean a bunch. And some of the places have tight corners which makes parking a pain in the butt. Other then then it's a really nice city.

[@henrytep8884]

Gentrification would do that. Makes you numb to the homeless crisis plus California had stupid crime laws that virtually makes breaking into a car a misdemeanor and homeless people don't even get charged for these crimes. Crime is extremely under reported in long beach especially at the beach.

No thank you..lol

If you want to eat delicious and legit Italian food, I would recommend La Parolaccia Osteria on Broadway, just after Temple Avenue on the left hand side. On 2nd street, Paradis has really good ice cream, and across the way, Angelo's Italian deli has good sandwiches and a small shop for Italian products.

[@adrian4012]

Love my city, born and raised!! Now living in Bristow Virginia for 10 years.

[@keithjohnson5398]

Long Beach has also become unique - expanding its system of bike lanes & infrastructure thru the city. Making it safer for the cycling community. Great suggestions for places to visit too, I've been to many of them. Queen Mary is a good one, such a great experience being able to wander and explore the old ship.

[@jasonpresley690]

2nd Street for Food and Shopping. Would disagree with Long Beach being a popular beach. Better to go 30 minutes south down to Huntington Beach. (We people from Long Beach know not to go to the beach in Long Beach). Also, a lot of those murals are in real rough neighborhoods so be careful.

[@bocajm7703]

Yeah, went to Huntington yesterday. The beach he mentioned is basically used to run, walk, bike etc.

[@bigfootingermany]

As for the food section of Long Beach... no visit is complete without a trip to Marri's Pizza and Italian restaurant. I was born in L.B. back in 63. Marri's is one of those Long Beach landmarks that will bring you back time and time again. They have another location over in Anaheim, so if you make a trip to Disneyland, it's worth it to not fill up on over priced park food and go have a real meal! Bob in Germany

[@rickycherry7276]

2nd street will be a great choice to if you want to bridge jump or head to Naples

Even though I live in San Diego.. which is nice...but Long Beach has the small city by the beach vibe, quaint, and also very diverse. My spots to eat are Roscoes and Super Mex on 2nd St. When I feel better....I'm going home to my beloved town ❤️

[@dognatious6153]

You left off Belmont Brewing Company (BBC) with oceanside and beach view. This 40 year old establishment has the world's greatest stout beer by far!!!! It has been the same consistency for over 40 years. One of the first craft breweries in So CA, it's signature beer is called Long Beach Crude, appropriately. Sea captains from the ships used to hail here when I went here in the early years, but now it is a popular local attraction and one of the only great restaurants right on the beach. Parking is free after 6 in the adjacent City lot and it is walking distance to 2nd Street that you left off too, which is an awesome stretch of restaurants and bars reminds me of the Promenade in Santa Monica. But this stretch of bars and grills is more localized and compact (about 1/2 mile on both sides).

[@MrSillyFun]

I loved this video! Fun Fact: My grandfather worked on the Queen Mary. I just can't imagine that chicken and waffles can taste good but so many people I trust are telling me that Roscoe's is great so I'll be trying it next time I'm in SoCal. Fantastic food and beverage tips as always. Thanks Josh :)

That food is gross. It's not authentic black southern food.

I love bluff park, and my favourite hang out place is Viento Y Agua on 4th street. They do THE BEST Mexican Mocha, as well as bagels, oatmeal, smoothies, and my personal favourite in the summer, a matcha green tea smoothie.

As a long beach native here are some spots I recommend. The peninsula park is a very small park across from Ballaspoint. During the summer free concerts every Sunday from 530 to 830. Parking is $5 bucks and literally walk into the beach. The Colorado lagoon perfect little park to swim with kid's and in it has a cute little hike trail behind it. Good food and beer at Ballas Point perfect sunsets. Get there early for a good table. Good Mexican restaurant's Lola's on 4th and Broadway. And El Torazo on 10th and temple good neighborhood spot.

Don’t forget the two historic Ranchos! One on Bixby Hill near Palo Verde Avenue, the other in North Long Beach by the Country Club.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I used to launch my fishing boat from Davies launch ramp in Long Beach and fish the "Wall" just outside of the harbor. My absolute favorite restaurant in Long Beach is the Crab Pot right on the marina. Order the "Alaskan" where they dump all the food on your table. It is kind of pricey per person but well worth it!

[@jodysoberon4477]

For Sushi, try Sushi on Fire on 2nd and Octopus on Pine. And don't forget about the Hotel Maya's restaurant Fuego for spectacular views, vibes and fun. They are pricey, so we love to go for appetizers and a couple of drinks and watch the sunset, or for an afternoon snack.

[@ankushbhandare]
