I am planning to go there for 2-3 nights with my husband, no kids. Can someone help me with kosher restaurants in the area for breakfast and suppers? We have a car so a short drive is ok.

Also, I want to know basically how we can spend our days there other than the beach and boardwalk obviously. I saw there is a Challenge Escape Room not too far from there. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it worth the money?

Any other suggestions for attractions? Please be specific.

Thanks!

Long Beach is close to the 5 towns, where there's a large selection of restaurants. It's worth making the drive for supper every night.

We ate dinner in Upper Crust (diary) in cedarhurst. I don't remember where we ate breakfast. There were many kosher restaurants in that area.

If you like hiking, you might like Hempstead Lake Park, which has trails (about 20 min away).

As far as escape room. They usually require a minimum # of people, so you may have to join another group. Call before going. If you look online you might be able to find a Groupon deal.

There are tons of restaurants on Central Ave in Cedarhurst (all under the vaad) which is considered reliable, by charedi people. Enjoy!

I forgot to mention that I am in my 8th month so I'm not sure I would have energy to do a long hike.

Thanks for the info on the escape room. I understood that there is a max amount of people per group. I'll check with them if there is a minimum. Do you know how interesting it is for 2 adults tho?

Do you know of any good nearby malls? Nice Parks with family biking and/or boating? Or any other activities for 2 adults that you can suggest?

Young Israel of Long Beach is nearby.

If you like history, you might want to go to Rock Hall Museum (a home in Lawrence from the colonial period). It's also free. Check website for times when they give tours.

Roosevelt Field Mall is about 30 min away.
Greens Acres Mall is closer.

There are minyanim in Long Beach as well as in the 5T. Unfortunately I don’t know the times in either place :-(

I looked through the list that eema of 3 sent and made some reservations. But I'm still looking for a "higher-end" dairy restaurant for dinner. Anyone can suggest?
