Great breakfast spot that is just right around the corner from us. My favorite is the slow roasted pork and eggs.

This is our favorite sushi restaurant, hands down. We go there at least once a week. We always order the "3 companies" and "animal style" rolls.

Really great vegan food here. We love the avocado tacos and purple potato taquitos. Non-vegan and non-vegetarians will totally dig this place. Check it out!

Rose Park is another great neighborhood coffee spot. A bit more elevated in terms of technique (pour over, etc) and quality of beans than Viento.

If you are looking for a 'nicer' dinner or lunch Nick's a really good option. The food here is a bit pricier than the rest of 2nd street but I think it's one of the best eating options on 2nd.

One of the giants of the craft brewing scene, the Ballast Point Brewery in an absolutely beautiful space in a beautiful location. The beer isn't so bad either. This place gets so crowded on weekends we rarely go. Midday on a weekday is your best bet. A true Long Beach gem.
