Long Beach Cafe

A group of us are quasi-training for the Bicycle Coalitions LBC ride in two weeks. We hooked up at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo and rode down to the LBC. About two hours later we made it! We were so hungry and dead tired we could have eaten anywhere but artist Clement Hanami was adamant that we go to the Long Beach Cafe. Not exactly sure where it was, we began to doubt him when ten minutes into circling around the East Village, he started to ask random people for directions. None of them seemed to know what he was talking about. As we circled around to busier streets, we found it! Long Beach Cafe is located at 615 East Ocean Blvd. LB CA 90802. The exterior is not very inciting but it does have an old school vibe. We locked up our bikes and walked in. It was packed; popular place. They had salmon omelets, waffles, burgers, salads, BLT's, etc. In the center of the multi-pages menu is a Greek section. Greek? It turns out that the owner is Greek. I ordered a Greek combo plate that was good and healthy. We were so tired but having a good time until my banana split arrived. This is the biggest b-split we ever saw. I asked that they bring everyone at the table a spoon. It was perfect for all of us to share. That was a lot of fun.
