Art is born out of both inspiration and reflection. A specific geographic area can inspire the creation of some truly amazing art as well as reflect the attitudes and feelings of a particular point in time. Nowhere is that more obvious than at Long Beach's Museum of Latin American Art. These works seem to come alive with both a dimensionality and a spiciness that gives them a personality all their own. The facility was founded in 1996 and holds the distinction of being the only museum of its kind in the United States.

There are some things you never outgrow. If one of your links to your childhood is a favorite superhero, comic book series or television show, you need to pay a visit to Long Beach's Amazing Comics. This is a veritable gold mine of memories. In addition to vintage items, collectibles and comic books, Amazing Comics more than lives up to its name by offering a deep stock of new items like apparel, action figures, toys, videos, DVDs, sports cards, dolls, hardcover books and so much more.

When making plans for your evening, there always seems to be a bit of difficulty deciding where to have dinner and then where to have drinks. Make it a complete no-brainer by doing both at Long Beach's Auld Dubliner. This popular nightlife establishment has been putting smiles on the faces of its many visitors over the years as it offers the genuine charm of a classic Irish pub and restaurant. Of course you can find the traditional corned beef and cabbage and beef stew on the menu, but also you can feast on such treats as grilled salmon, salads, and an impressive selection of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. And of course, the wide selection of beers, ales and lagers is second to none!
