I love a good cupcake and this place delivers! We will gather up at this cupcake shop and try some delicious confections. They have a lot of great options: https://www.frostedcupcakery.com/
We’ll make new friends while we’re coasting on our sugar high. This venue is small so we will be mingling outside.
This will be a casual chance to meet new people, enjoy something sweet, and hang out for a bit.
**What to wear**: This is an outdoor event
**Meet-up spot:** Next-door in front of Farmers and Merchants Bank.
**Parking:** If you’re not familiar, this is 2nd street, a very vibrant street in Long Beach that is not known for its abundant parking. If you pull up at 6:59 you’re gonna take a while finding a spot. They are various paid lots all over the place and street parking if you can find it. But please give yourself some extra time.
See ya soon!
