Best Family Restaurants in Long Beach

"American chef Daniel Rose broke significant boundaries in 2006 when he took Paris, the home of fine dining, by storm with his tiny 16-seat restaurant Spring. His modern approach to classic French techniques was a huge hit and he returned to the US and opened Le Coucou where he has brought a once stale cuisine back into the limelight. There is a significant difference between Spring and Le Coucou."

"French food is romance, and Le Coucou does it up decadently. The restaurant itself is dim and hushed -- ideal for declarations of love. With candles on the tables and caviar in Champagne beurre blanc, it’s the place to pick for celebrating, apologizing, or just showing off."

"If you didn’t have pizza earlier, I recommend Juliana’s – the pizza is even better than next-door Grimaldi’s (in fact, it was voted the best pizzeria in the entire U.S. in 2015 on TripAdvisor) but it’s not often in the guidebooks so there’s usually no line. If you do this, be sure to save room for dessert at the delicious Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory just down the street."

"With a locally sourced seasonal menu from its very own farm, just 45 minutes upstate, the dimly lit dining room is filled with fresh flowers, crisp white linens, and subtle grey accents, screaming romance. Bonus tip: After dinner, have a glass or two at Amelie Wine Bar, where the French vibes and warm glow will serve as the cozy culmination to an atmospherically eclectic night."

"With their annual Valentine's Day tradition of serving a "hands-free" meal, Blue Hill offers an off-beat take on your typical romantic evening. This Greenwich Village restaurant has built a menu focused on seasonally available produce from farms around the northeastern United States."

"A post shared by Degustando pelo mundo (@degustandopelomundo) on Sep 20, 2019 at 2:46am PDT. If you are hoping to relish Southern Italian family feasts in New York City, plan to visit Carmine’s Italian Restaurant at Times Square. It is famous for serving hearty meals comprising lip-smacking Italian delicacies."

"The very popular and busy Carmine’s has several locations outside of NYC (including in Atlantis Bahamas). However, the original is in NYC on the Upper West Side. We went to the busy one in Times Square, which always seems to have a wait regardless of when you visit."

"Tucked into the Flatiron district, Kat & Theo, led by executive chef David Fisher—a semi-finalist in the 2016 San Pellegrino Young Chefs competition–creates simple, produce-driven dishes like his lamb tongue pastrami with house-made stout mustard and house rye bread. With an exposed brick-lined front bar (and Eiffel Tower-esque metal trellis), open kitchen, and back dining room warmed by a romantic stone fireplace, this is one restaurant where sitting on the same side of the booth won't be met with eye rolls."

"Don't get me wrong—they do it well, but platters of spicy shredded pork with garlic sauce and sautéed pea shoots with ginger and scallions trump congee every time."

"Restaurants Chinese Lower East Side"

"The Rubin is the first museum in the Western world to dedicate itself to the art of the Himalayas and surrounding regions. Its impressive collection spans 1500 years to the present day, and includes Chinese embroidered textiles, Nepalese gilt-copper bodhisattvas, Pakistani stone sculptures and intricate Bhutanese paintings, as well as ritual objects and dance masks from various Tibetan regions. Fascinating rotating exhibitions have included Victorious Ones, comprising sculptures and paintings of the Jinas, the 24 founding teachers of Jainism."

"In New York City’s vibrant Chelsea neighborhood, you will find the Rubin Museum of Art, a relatively new museum that first opened in 2004. It is dedicated to the collection, display, and preservation of the art and cultures of the Himalayas, India, and neighboring regions. Inside the museum, a beautiful spiral staircase will lead you to six floors, with each carrying an extensive collection of Hindu and Buddhist art, and photography of Asia."

"The center is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Scandinavian culture in the United States. The museum displays art from the different corners of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. There’s artwork, music, theatre, and film so no matter your preferred medium, you’ll find something to your liking."

"New York Hall of Science or popularly known as NYSCI is a museum dedicated to science exhibits focusing on education for children aged 1-17 years. Being one of the first science museums in the modern era, it has drawn crowds exponentially over the years. This has led to massive expansion schemes."

"Built for the World’s Fair in 1964, this exhibition is still going strong, providing the best exhibits concerned with maths, engineering and technology to be found anywhere in the city. Also Read:Top 10 Haunted Places in New York for Daredevils"

"Located in Chinatown, this small museum presents the living history, heritage, culture, and diverse experiences of Chinese Americans in the U.S. Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for students, educators, seniors, military personnel, and free for children above 2 and disabled visitors. Alright, these are some of the most unique, cool museums in NYC and recommend to anyone visiting the Big Apple."

"For a concentrated look at the Chinese-American experience, visit this museum on Centre Street—located in one of Maya Lin’s few NYC creations. The museum’s unique approach to preserving history includes oral histories, along with photographs and artifacts that examine everything from media portrayals of Chinese Americans, to the evolution of Chinatowns throughout the country."

"The Color Factoryin the Soho area of New York City will capture the imagination of young kids and big kids alike. This unique museum in NYC celebrates the joy of color by having visitors walk through room by room, experiencing exhibits of vibrant colors that awaken every sense and represent the color palette of the city. The Color Factory isn’t your traditional museum where you can pick and choose the exhibits you visit as visitors must follow the path through the different rooms that are all set up with their own installation."
