Do you read GQ magazine? Their July issue has officially dubbed the city of Manhattan Beach “America’s Best Beach for Chowing Down.” The magazine also says that we have one of the best beaches in the entire United States. I wholeheartedly agree.
I guess we have “foodie magnets,” according to the magazine, like chef David LeFevre and his restaurants MB Post and Fishing with Dynamite, and the writer mentions Vietnamese restaurant Little Sister, Simmzy’s, Lemonade, the Strand House and more of my favorite places to eat in town. GQ says we have a wide array of edible options and our cuisine is very diverse. Apparently, in other beaches across the US, it is difficult to come by a quality gourmet meal experience so close to the sand. I’m thinking burger stands. This food, and the weather, make Manhattan Beach one wonderful place. Thanks, GQ! We think so too. Here’s what GQ said:
Best Beach for Chowing Down
Manhattan Beach, Los AngelesOn strict beach factors alone, Manhattan Beach is already arguably the best in the Lower Forty-eight: It’s wide and relaxed, with sand the color of really nice sand. But where it blows away every other spit of coastal dirt is the restaurant scene just blocks from the water. At most beaches, you’re stuck with the soggy sandwiches and crumbled bag of chips you packed; in Manhattan Beach, you’ve got fish tacos and slop-plate Mexican (check outEl Sombrero), all complemented by chef David LeFevre’s two new foodie magnets, M.B. Post and Fishing with Dynamite. We’ll raise our forks to that (and then wait thirty minutes before going back into the water).—Daniel Riley
