Cuisine Scene: Brunch
Long Beach does a lot of things well: provide America with lots of professional and Olympic athletes; provide America with lots of stuff through our port, the second-busiest in the country (you’re welcome) and… breakfast. Oh, how we breakfast in Long Beach. Traditional and contemporary fare, big box and holes in the wall, meaty and vegany and so, so much more. In fact, we're offering you five categories with two suggestions a piece – 10 total – and, believe us, this doesn’t begin to scratch the surface. But it is all delicious (you’re welcome, again).
