Los Angeles restaurants have been struggling to survive since the beginning of the pandemic and women-owned businesses are being disproportionately affected. The National Bureau of Economic Research reported a 25% drop in the number of women business owners last year, a decline they classified as "unprecedented." 

In response to this crisis, a group of women who own Los Angeles restaurant and hospitality businesses came together to form the charitable organization RE:Her. Its mission is to advance women in the industry and provide them with mentorship, grants, and resources. 

To kick-off 2021, they've organized "10 Days RE:Her," their first virtual food festival which will include special take-out menus from over 100 restaurants across the…

On December 2nd, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that we would be returning to a "safer-at-home" order, similar to the order that was enacted at the beginning of the pandemic in March.
