Foundation Sandwich Shop<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>celebrated its grand opening on March 21 with a ribbon-cutting at 160 The Promenade North.

Long Beach Creamery<\/strong> not-so-quietly soft-opened its second location on March 24 in downtown Long Beach, located at 222 East Broadway. The Bixby Knolls-raised, experimental ice cream shop uses local ingredients and collaborates with local shops, including The Pie Bar. With owner Dinah Amadril\u2019s knack for throwing together the most drool-worthy, seasonal flavors, downtown residents are certainly in for a treat.<\/p>\n
