The Weekly Crave
The Weekly Crave is a food-based event showcasing participants from the DTLB Food Series.
Missed our April events? Don’t worry, we’re back in October 2025 to showcase the next cohort of new foodies in Downtown Long Beach.
Launching a business is a community effort and we want to highlight the family that helped our DTLB Food Series businesses along the way. Each week, The Weekly Crave will feature one brand-new business and one Long Beach OG (see schedule below). With our mentors and mentees in the same location, you know the food is going to be amazing!
Time will be limited. Menus will be curated. Energy will be high. Food will be delicious.
🔥 ¡Tenemos SABOR! The Weekly Crave is BACK — Latino Business Edition! 🔥
Get ready, Long Beach! We’re thrilled to announce the second installment of our Weekly Crave series, this time celebrating the incredible Latino-owned food and beverage businesses that make our city so vibrant.
Every Tuesday in October, from 4 to 8 PM, at 375 The Promenade N. (Mosaic DTLB)
