Since the creation of #sundayfunday, we have all been given the perfect excuse to get out in our cities to try something new. Snapping photos of our breakfasts, our bike rides and our museum visits.  With summer just around the corner it is all the more time to celebrate some of the restaurants in Long Beach that offer the best bottomless mimosas.

Industrial is something most Long Beach residents are used to. With a port not far away, the familiarity of passing ship containers is an almost everyday sight. But SteelCraft in Bixby Knolls has found a way to reinvent those shipping containers while bringing the community together through artisan food and drink.

California has been blessed with many cultural dishes, such as good foodies like ramen, for example. Seeing as that  hot soup and noodles is a perfect match for the season, I have visited four restaurants within driving distance from Long Beach – Tsujita, Hayatemaru, Men Oh and Hakata Ikkousha.

When you first walk into Creamistry, you’ll notice the counters lined up with toppings, mixing bowls and the constant stream of liquid nitrogen flowing through that looks way cooler than any chemistry class you’ve ever taken.

Some people downplay the craftsmanship that goes into the perfect chili. Some less seasoned chili-aficionados would say, “Chili is chili,” or, “If you tried one, you have tried them all.” I would have to quickly interject and shoot down that lazy blanket statement with, “Well, you haven't tried my chili.”

As the weather begins to cool down, there’s nothing better than curling up in a blanket, with a good book and a hot drink. Whether it’s a famous Starbucks peppermint mocha or a steaming cup of hot cocoa, the holiday season brings a variety of festive drinks we look forward to all year.

Ah, yes— Eat24. A food delivery and takeout app used through Yelp; I remember it well. I’ve used this app a few different times, and I am sad to say that I’m not all that impressed.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, along with the impending food coma. Gathering around a turkey at the dinner table is as traditional as it gets, but who says you can’t mix it up?

Most millennials nowadays can’t even boil an egg, but there’s always take-out right? There’s endless possibilities eating take-out, but maybe it’s not the best option since there are so many other things to consider while eating out.

Pizza has been around since 997 AD, but why has it remained so high in popularity amongst other foods? Simple — It’s quick, easy and affordable! Pepperoni and cheese or a simple combination can suffice, but why not try some of the most “unusual” pizzas in Long Beach that are fit for your budgets?

This past June, The Pie Bar opened shop in downtown Long Beach and has since brought a sense of whimsy to the neighborhood. Keep your eyes peeled, because this hole-in-the-wall can be easy to miss.

The fall season is finally here and so is the acclaimed pumpkin spice latte. Love it or hate it, this festive trend makes you feel like it's Thanksgiving night and you’re anxiously waiting for that pumpkin pie to come out of the oven!

Between long lines and generic drinks, going for coffee can be a drag. At least that’s the case at Starbucks and The Coffee Bean. Long Beach, however,  is home to a thriving coffee culture, with coffee shops for all tastes.

Fall semester is speeding its way through September, and I’m sure many of you are looking for a break whenever you can get it. Well, I took on the task of hunting down the best happy-hour bars to sneak away to during the week.

The last few years have seen the arrival of a new and as yet-underrated type of small business. More common in places such as New York City and Seattle, third wave coffee shops have been popping up all over Long Beach.

The month of March is no longer solely reserved for four-leafed clovers and pots of gold. In recent years, National Pancake Day has taken the U.S. by storm.
