If you are a fan of hot cheetos like I am....this place is heaven. There is usually a wait, parking can be a little difficult but that is everywhere here in downtown long beach. Anyways, stop by and try one of their Mac and cheese AND a Bloody Mary! They have a list of bloody Mary's!! This here is the breakfast mac and cheese with chorizo and a fried egg on top. Yes I know, a fat attack. But you HAVE to try it!

Belmont Heights

Belmont Heights might not have many top sights, but Blair Field and Rosie's Dog Beach are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

I'm a big fan of Long Beach's gritty urban realness. It makes the SoCal experience more comprehensive and complete.
