As for Restaurants:
2nd Street in Belmont Shore has a variety of non-chain really excellent restaurants and is our most frequent haunt.
- La Creperie is fantastic food and atmosphere
- Next door is Zen Sushi
Next to that is Bonos (Owned by Sonny and Cher's daughter)
- Down the street is Open Sesame - a Lebanese restaurant that we end up at probably once a week and home of the "Heroin Chicken" (You eat it and, an hour later you crave more).
- There are 2 more new Lebanese restaurants on the street as well.
- Super Mex is always good for fantastic Mexican food (although they've now expanded quite a bit and would be considered a chain)
- La Strada is decent Italian
- Biggs has decent Tapas but I had bad service there when they first opened and haven'tbeen back
- George's Greek is WONDERFUL (there's one on Pine and 5th downtown as well)
Everything on 2nd street is a short walk, so just park anywhere and walk the street. It's a fun atmosphere.
Downtown has more chains, but you might try: - Madison for steak (fancy and expensive)
- L'Opera (fancy and expensive)
- Geoge's Greek (wonderful)
- Sevilla for Tapas
- There's also your run of the mill stuff like PF Changs, Lone Star, Islands, CPK etc.
Call when you're in town.  |

Ken and I will be going to a bridal show in Long Beach that day - maybe we can join you for lunch! We'd love to see TicTocBaby!  |
Either way, we could all have a big lunch get together! It would be great.
