On Labor Day Weekend, Manhattan Beach may be a little quieter than Hermosa Beach where Fiesta Hermosa is going on - but there's still plenty to do, see, and of course eat, right here in town.
Dine In - Or Out
Thursday until - ?: The Strand House is offering a Fresh Fig Pizza Special, made with Croatian figs grown in Manhattan Beach by Zislis Group Owner Michael Zislis. The "most local" pizza in town also features smoked scamorza, nduja, walnut rosemary pesto, and honey. Offered until the figs run out.
