Field Guide to Local Businesses

Field Guide to Local Businesses

Every CicLAvia is an opportunity for Angelenos to experience local gems and new businesses in their own neighborhoods. While our city is practicing Safer at Home, you can still find new deals, local eats (for take-out or delivery), and gift ideas - while supporting fantastic local shops.

We've compiled a list of restaurants, stores, florists, and others along the Mid City meets Venice route that are open for business and could use your support! Some may experience fluctuations, so be sure to check as deals and hours may change.

Stay on the lookout for updates from us and other outlets with more ideas of how you can support local businesses in neighborhoods throughout the region.
