Easter Picnic

Just pack and go!  Pick a place, set up and voila...It's ready!  For this picnic, I picked up a few ready made sandwiches and some yummy pastries from Paris Baguette.  Ham & cheese, turkey, and chicken sandwiches were the choices.  Of course I can't forget the mimosas to go with our sandwiches so I picked a few more items from Trader Joe's: orange juice and champagne for our mimosas, tortilla chips, and a box of assorted French macarons.  Another picnic item is a pack of ready to serve salami, sausages, and assorted cheeses.  A perfect picnic!  Hassle free.  Got all the essentials and just enjoyed a beautiful day under the California sunshine on Easter Sunday. 

By the way, a must have is a handy dandy cart/wagon from Costco to transport everything from the car to that perfect place!  The Dollar Tree is also a great place to grab colorful paper goods and serving plates and platters.

King's Fish House

Downtown Long Beach has had major transformation in recent years; with lots of restaurants on Pine Street and Shoreline Village, one can only walk the strip in search of a new culinary experience.

King's Fish House on Pine Avenue is one of the many restaurants in downtown Long Beach.  The Kumamoto oysters definitely left an impression as I couldn't stop talking about it afterwards I had to return.

The King's Fish House is in a great location.  It's at the corner of Broadway and Pine.  You won't miss it.  On a beautiful day, you have the option to sit outdoors.  The host and servers were very friendly and helpful.  We were seated right away.

The Pike and Shoreline Village is also a skip and a hop from the restaurant.  Why leave after dining when you can enjoy the rest of the afternoon outdoors?

                    Location: 100 W Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90802
