Karen's Guidebook! THIS IS A NO SMOKING PROPERTY!
A bit about us... and the food scene here in Long Beach. NO SMOKING!
He is the chef and I am a foodie and We are environmentalists! We are on solar, have rain barrels, on the Gray Water Project for Long Beach and we recycle everything. We will request from you from you one thing. please separate your recyclables so that we can donate the plastic and the cans only to a woman who lives here in the area and lives on $500 a month . I've been in the restaurant and hospitality business for over 30 years. I hold a Certified Specialist of Wine certificate with the Gallo Wine Institute. my partner created the Garden you see and just about everything else here on the property. He is extremely talented! I love recommending restaurants and places to see in Long Beach and the surrounding areas. I highly recommend Groupon for discounts.
We actively protect the environment in the following ways:
1) Our home is solar powered
2) We're one of two Long Beach homes chosen to participate in the Gray Water Program
3) Our landscape is drought-tolerant
4) We actively recycle and donate the proceeds to help others in need. Please help us by placing your cans, plastic bottles and glass containers in the marked containers on the patio.
The purple container is for recycling! Please save all plastic bottles for an 89 year old woman thar we like to help.out

It's just a really cool little area and very accessible through the Metro System. I am about two blocks away from the Willow Metro stop and you can take the Metro directly to Chinatown and Los Angeles Union Station.

Catalina is good for a day trip. It's 26.2 nautical miles from Long Beach. On the way you sometimes get to see dolphins and whales breaching! Makes it special! They do have specials on Groupon sometimes. I recommend Catalina because I love it there. I like Luau Larry's and get my Wiki whacked... you'll see when you get there. I love going to the other side of the casino, sitting outside and looking at the ocean... it's just beautiful. You can always rent a golf cart and drive around the island.

Drive south along Pacific Coast Highway to see our famous Huntington Beach, where they have surfing competitions. There's also Newport Beach, home of lots of TV drama and Laguna Beach... very laid-back and extremely beautiful! I highly recommend going to the Surf and Sand hotel and having a cocktail there - it's about an hour away. Laguna Beach is also known for Pageant of the Masters and The Sawdust Festival -- and I highly recommend both of them!
For a longer drive, head north into Santa Barbara or Big Sur - they're both beautiful. Don't miss the art fair which takes place every Sunday along the main beach in Santa Barbara.
