Which means if you're craving lighter, eat-outside fare or stick-to-the-ribs dishes, and you'd like to save some money along the way, Dine Out Long Beach is perfectly timed.
The Restaurant Week just kicked off its eighth outing, and, like so many dining events with the word "week" in their names, Dine Out Long Beach will actually last for more than a week, with an end date on Tuesday, Feb. 28.
All sorts of tempting culinary creations, made for a variety of budgets, are on the roster, as is a bouquet of LBC neighborhoods. Naples Island, East Village, and Belmont Shore are all represented during this current Dine Out, and there are spots where breakfast-y options are available (this is not always a common feature during many Restaurant Weeks, but becoming more so).

Spirited offerings are also in the swirl, with District Wine, The Ordinarie, and Bo-Beau Kitchen + Roof Tap all spotlighting special sips, from wines to non-alcoholic negronis to a rhubarb paloma.
Restaurants Care is the event's nonprofit partner. If you'd like to donate to the organization, which provides "relief, stability, and hope for struggling California restaurant workers," be sure to order "Imaginary Breadsticks" (yep, they've got "zero calories") where available to help the charity's mission.
