    Would add Retro Row, Kayaking in Naples (Instead of the hydrobike), Aqua Link instead of the harbor cruise (its only 5 bux, most underrated thing to do in LB), Japanese Garden at CSULB, El Dorado Park, Joe Jost's , Rosie's Dog Beach, Brunch at Claires, Watch any game at Legends, Pho in Cambodia Town, LBX, Blind Donkey ( Sebs from LA LA Land) Yoga on the Bluff, Speakeasy at Exhibition Room or Fed Bar... could keep going.

    Hi! I'm 22 years-old in Korea. And I'm a college student now. I visited Long Beach, CA when i was 16 years-old. I stayed Long Beach for a month. At that time, i was third grade in middle school student, and i went to study languages. About 7 years later, i still remember that time. It was really brilliant time in my life. So i was looking for a Long Beach downtown's video thinking about that time. I finally watched your TH-cam.
    Thank you for helping me recall those memories. Have a good day 🤍

      Gentrification would do that. Makes you numb to the homeless crisis plus California had stupid crime laws that virtually makes breaking into a car a misdemeanor and homeless people don't even get charged for these crimes. Crime is extremely under reported in long beach especially at the beach.

I have eaten those other Pho places, and they are solid in flavor and prices are average across the board, but something about the little devil details is what makes Pho Hong Phat amazing. The chili paste/sauce alone gives a gentle kicked that no other place comes close too. The pastry breads they have are buttery goodness. And most of the other Pho places offer more than just Pho, menus that almost stretch a little thin...but P.H.P keeps it simple and makes it brilliant. Brother. Meat. Noodles. Sooooo amazing.

    2nd Street for Food and Shopping. Would disagree with Long Beach being a popular beach. Better to go 30 minutes south down to Huntington Beach. (We people from Long Beach know not to go to the beach in Long Beach). Also, a lot of those murals are in real rough neighborhoods so be careful.

    One of my family's favorite restaurants is Casa Sanchez on Anaheim; it looks pretty run down, but the owners are friendly, the food is both cheap and delicious, and the portions are glorious. You can pick up an eight dollar burrito big enough for dinner and lunch tommorow, and the refried beans are to die for.
    We also rather like the Belmount Brewery; a bit expensive, kinda upscale, but the drinks are good and the food is great.
    Asian Chef on Attlantic is a popular Chinese restaurant; their food is quick, cheap, and cooked freshly to order; their house combo is particularly popular and one of my favorites.
    The Fuji Revolving Sushi bar is exactly what it sounds like; it's very easy to rack up a big bill there, but the large selection of small dishes makes it easy to try out dozens of styles, and find a new favorite.
    Poke and More is a smaller asian/hawiian restaurant on Carson with a great selection of interesting and unique dishes. Their Poke burrito is spectacular, and well worth the matching price.

On 2nd street, Paradis has really good ice cream, and across the way, Angelo's Italian deli has good sandwiches and a small shop for Italian products.

    I loved this video! Fun Fact: My grandfather worked on the Queen Mary. I just can't imagine that chicken and waffles can taste good but so many people I trust are telling me that Roscoe's is great so I'll be trying it next time I'm in SoCal. Fantastic food and beverage tips as always. Thanks Josh :)

      @@MAVERICK72226 I'm not concerned whether it is authentic black southern food. However, if you've tried it and in your opinion, it does not taste very nice then I appreciate your warning :)

    Hey Josh, I think 4th st between junipero and cherry has some cool vintage stores and restaurants. Also notable mention is steel craft in bixby knolls made of shipping containers. Also the food court at the hanger at Long Beach exchange near Carson and Lakewood Blvd.

    Definitely yoga on the bluff. Donations only and you easily get 100 people out there. Great workout and relaxing vibe. Try it on the weekends at 11:30 with the great yogi, Dharma. Duffy boat rides in Naples especially around the holidays when all of the homes are decorated.

    You left off Belmont Brewing Company (BBC) with oceanside and beach view. This 40 year old establishment has the world's greatest stout beer by far!!!! It has been the same consistency for over 40 years. One of the first craft breweries in So CA, it's signature beer is called Long Beach Crude, appropriately. Sea captains from the ships used to hail here when I went here in the early years, but now it is a popular local attraction and one of the only great restaurants right on the beach. Parking is free after 6 in the adjacent City lot and it is walking distance to 2nd Street that you left off too, which is an awesome stretch of restaurants and bars reminds me of the Promenade in Santa Monica. But this stretch of bars and grills is more localized and compact (about 1/2 mile on both sides).

    It may not be perfect, it has its negatives and positives but what other city doesn’t? I love Long Beach and don’t see myself living anywhere else, thanks for showcasing our lovely city by the beach 🏖🇺🇸❤️ ps. You should of also added Historic Pine Street for restaurants and nightclubs! Always a fun time after dark

    Nice video! Made me homesick. Born at NAS Lemoore, but raised in Long Beach. Navy brat here. I have stayed put since covid and other health issue. I miss my hometown so much. Even though I live in San Diego.. which is nice...but Long Beach
    has the small city by the beach vibe, quaint, and also very diverse. My spots to eat are Roscoes and Super Mex on 2nd St. When I feel better....I'm going home to my beloved town ❤️

They also have poetry nights, as well as open mic evenings. Check it out next time you’re in town.
