South Bay Sunday Salon.
South Bay Sunday Salon.
Slavko's Harbor Poultry in San Pedro has been around for a century and serves Croatian dishes in addition to the usual fried and barbecue offerings. San Pedro has a few of these restaurants that serve a couple of Croatian dishes thanks to their large local community. Unfortunately, this and most other San Pedro restaurants that offer Balkan dishes do not stay open late so we are meeting at 3 instead of our usual 5 PM meeting time. Slavko's is located at 1224 South Pacific Avenue. RSVP to Kedem Har-Shalom at kedem524@yahoo.com or at (805) 330-1731 if you plan on attending. (COASTAL)
