It's a very friendly, laid-back area that never gets too crowded but is never deserted either. Parking can be difficult at times but look for lots lined along the alleys that parallel Second Street. Almost all parking here is metered. For fast food try the Fastfood Corner at Mykonos. Be sure to stop off at Legend's, one of the world's great sports bars.
Children are welcome and there is over a dozen TV's tuned in to all televised sports events.
Also a restaurant serving good food. It can get very busy during major sports events. Don't forget, this area is next to some fine beaches where you can lay in the sun or take in one of the many activities offered. See the Long Beach section of the beaches page for more info on that. There are no movie theaters here but you could catch a ride on the free Runabout over to Pine Square to catch a movie on one of the 16 screens at the AMC theater there.
