3 Local Restaurants to Support Near Lakewood Manor Apartments

Did you hear the news? After enduring the economic hardships of the pandemic, many LA County restaurants are slowly reopening. And they need the support of the local community. 

From the way we interact with each other to how we provide for our families, these uncertain times have taught us the value of community and the importance of supporting local business, particularly our restaurants.  

Supporting local restaurants has a positive impact on local communities in many ways. Here are three examples: 

When local restaurants source food from farmers, more money remains in the community. That helps sustain local farmers and food producers while funneling money into community and municipal support programs and services. 

“Shorter distances between producers and consumers are associated with fewer carbon impacts and less waste,” says Daphne Ewing-Chow at Forbes. When local restaurants use local food production, food isn’t exposed to long drives and heavy packaging. 

Field-to-table food supplies retain their freshness and flavor much better than foods that travel great distances. Also, it’s important to build a relationship with food growers; should there be a health concern, it’s much easier to track locally-sourced foods rather than try to track down a lengthy supply chain. 

At Lakewood Manor Apartments , we understand that we are all in this together. We can all do our part to support local businesses and restaurants. There are many choices nearby, and here are three of our favorite locations.
