Time For A Great Greek Lunch (Page Two)
We must walk from the foot of Pine Street about four long blocks. Gets the appetite ready to go!
As we walked past the restaurants on the bay, Mr. Squirrel stopped us!
What a ham!
"I am out of here!"
Long Beach Has Come A Long Way Since 1930!
The Ferris Wheel was hard at work!
The Comedy Club has great outside decorations... Four of many!
The Convention Center did not appear to be busy today!
Love the old buildings...
The city is well organized in terms of transportation
Very few cars!
L'Opera is just before our destination!
Interesting menu!
Must check in...
What! No George with a hug today?
George's daughter came to the table to greet us!
Happiness is a good seat!
"What is Saganaki?"
Burn Baby Burn!
Where are the Smores?
He is truly a great server!
"Pretty good show, huh?"
Greg calls 911
The melted cheese falls right into the plate
Greek lentil soup.... Delicious!
Greg scoops out the lemon...
"That's a long ways away!"
The outdoor dining was fantastic
Below the trees is George's Greek Cafe patio
We tried to count the bricks... Lost count on the second row!
Not too bad a walk... Especially down hill!
No kidding!
The busses go all over Long Beach!
Old versus new... The old is prettier!
Did You Know? - Breakers Hotel is a landmark 14-story building on East Ocean Avenue in downtown Long Beach, California. The building opened in 1926 as a luxury oceanfront resort hotel. The building has gone through multiple changes of ownership and has been renamed at various times the Hilton, the Wilton, and the Breakers International Hotel. It has had a history of financial problems and closures and operated for many years as a retirement home. The building has been designated as a Long Beach Historic Landmark.
The Convention Center is large!
Flowers dot the street in strategic locations
Here they come!
Walking right down the street with a Doo Wah Diddy... Ditty Dum Ditty Do
We are within striking distance!
The harbor is beautifully decorated with foliage
"No Greg! We cannot take the paddle wheeler home!"
The flowers were smiling!
View from our seats
The Russian Sub is still there!
Casting eyes on the Queen!
The Queen does not seem worried at all!
She still looks regal after 75 years!
As seen from the shore... It is a nice structure
Standing on stilts
(technically pillings)
Did You Know? - In 1908 the citizens of Belmont Heights asked the city to build a pier. The pier has been called the Grand Avenue Pier, the Belmont Heights Pier and Devil's Gate Pier in its history.
When the pier was renamed "Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier" in 2005 an inscription was added at the entrance: "The people of Long Beach dedicate this pier to the men and women of our nation's armed forces, as a tribute to their love of country and a memorial to their sacrifice."
Coming into the channel... OMG, the new restaurant is "zooed out"
Wall to wall people
We had comfortable seats the entire way!
Heading to Malarkey's!
Good Bye ship... We will see you again soon!
