Pine Avenue
Downtown Long Beach's dinner-and-a-movie spot.
Location:
Loosely bordered by 7th Street and Ocean Blvd.

FYI Parking Park on the street or in the Long Beach Plaza lot on the corner of Pine and 3rd Street. Public Transportation The Passport shuttle system will take you all over Long Beach, including downtown. Or exit 710 at Broadway.

Despite all its attempts at gentrification, the City of Long Beach hasn't yet succeeded in making Pine Avenue a worthy shopping destination. In its defense, it's a great place for dinner and a movie. Restaurants abound, from the tres fancy-shmancy L'Opera to the humble Russian Delicatessen, and Pine Avenue's AMC 16 Theater should provide you with a suitable movie selection. The stores on Pine tend to be chains of the Bath & Body Works variety, but if you're brave, and it's daylight, you might want to venture east to the outskirts of the district. You'll find more interesting stuff, including the world-famous Acres of Books and a number of cute little antique stores struggling to hold on. -- Jennifer George
