East Long Beach

After eying multiple spaces—including a potential DTLB location—Appu's Cafe has settled on an East Long Beach location for their second space.

Longbeachize continues to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month: Chef Ross Pangilinan is the proud owner of many accolades when it comes to his witty plays on international cuisine in restaurants throughout Orange County, making for a warm welcome when he finally decided to push beyond the Orange Curtain and open in Long Beach. Well, kind of a warm welcome.

Morning Nights didn't open with flying colors—but with some refinement, a made-to-order mandate, and a mini-oasis tucked into the back corner of The Hangar, it is one of Long Beach's most underrated spaces.

While the retail center has seen a recent string of restaurant closures both in and outside its Hangar food hall, the opening of Cassidy's Corner offers a much needed greet at the hall's entrance.

The Colorado Lagoon is one of Long Beach's most successful park comeback stories, going from polluted mess to popular oasis—and its grandeur is about to become even greater as it will soon fully connect to Alamitos Bay with construction beginning in 2022.

They're one of the world's most loved street foods: Korean hot dogs (or what most Americans would call corn dogs)—and Long Beach will have its first formal taste of them as the insanely popular chain Myungrang Hot Dog opens its first local location.
