Long Beach's 2nd Street is packed to the brim with restaurants—Italian, Thai, Greek, Mexican, Japanese, French, you name it. There are so many, it's hard to choose just one. And lucky for us gluttons, today we don't have to. Stroll and Savor is a special restaurant tasting event that occurs on select Wednesdays and Thursdays through the end of August. Patrons purchase a booklet of coupons ($10 for 12 tickets) and then leisurely saunter down the street enjoying live music at every corner, and two-bite samples from a selection of more than 40 eateries. There are even special treats for dogs, too. Wear your walking shoes—and maybe some elastic-waist pants.
