It’s a beautiful weekend to bust a quick mission to La Playa Larga and support Black-owned food and drink businesses. Long Beach Black Restaurant Week starts this Sunday and goes on until the end of this month (January 30th).
From the non-profit's website.
Organized by Long Beach Food & Beverage, a registered California 501(c)3 non-profit, the inaugural Long Beach Black Restaurant Week is eight day event devoted to celebrating African, African American and Caribbean fare in and around Long Beach. The event also seeks to highlight Black-owned culinary businesses as well as Black chefs and bartenders.
Long Beach Black Restaurant Week is a medium to bring everyone to the table, from all walks of life, to showcase the city’s diverse Black food scene.
Long Beach’s food scene is one of the most exciting in California, with so many noodles, tacos, delicious bread, coffee, natural wine, and more that continue to grow every month. However, it still maintains a low profile; If you know, you know.
