From a simple request last December asking for cheap breakfast suggestions from you, our dedicated newsletter readers, we’ve been able to highlight 16 local eateries offering breakfast options for less than $10 in Long Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s keep that momentum going with suggestions for a cheap lunch. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, we’re not putting on the under-$10 limit. Whatever you think is a cheap lunch or a place that offers sizeable portions for a fair price. Anything from sandwiches to ceviche, we want to hear what local spots you go to for an inexpensive mid-workday meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please hit reply on this email to submit your suggestions to me (jacob@lbpost.com).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
