Gobble Gobble Great Thanksgiving Meals in Long Beach
Soon, we'll gather with family members and loved ones to celebrate all for which we are thankful.
This year, give thanks in Long Beach!
It's that time of year! The scent of pumpkin spice wafts through the air. Leaves crunch underfoot (well, maybe not so much in southern California) and the turkeys are getting plumper. It's not too early to start thinking about where and how you will celebrate Thanksgiving this year.
While it may be a joy to eat your turkey dinner, it’s not always a joy to prepare it, and it's even less of a joy to clean it up! If you’d like to spare yourself the hassle this year, Long Beach has plenty of restaurants willing to accommodate you. Take note of these culinary events happening in Long Beach over Thanksgiving weekend!
