Picnic Lunches in Manhattan Beach area

[jeffcurtis]

Hey all!

I'm new to Chowhound and hope someone can help me out with this. My girlfriend has work tomorrow and I'd love to surprise her with a picnic lunch. Is there a restaurant in the South Bay that sells a great picnic lunch? Or would I be better off going to Boccatos and building my own?

Thanks!

i've been pleased with the sandwiches and take out food that i've purchased at:

Manhattan Bread & Bagel
1812 N. Sepulveda Blvd.
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Some great sandwiches & salads can be had to go at Manhattan Beach's North End Cafe.

also Lemonade is a great recommendation or Le Pain Quotidien.

I don't know about ready-made picnic meals, but I'd think Lemonade or Mickey's Italian Deli would be great to pick up some items for picnicking.
