To celebrate the accessibility to plant-based food that Hart House is bringing to the greater Los Angeles community, I’m excited to share that Hart House is launching 'Hart & The City', an interactive scavenger hunt highlighting minority owned businesses that bring life to their communities through shared values and accessible practices.
Taking place across LA on June 10 & 11, this immersive experience will feature local stops in Hollywood, Westchester/Inglewood, and Monrovia (all neighborhoods with a Hart House location). Participants will enjoy block parties, live music, 'Can’t Believe It Flavor' from the Hart House menu, prizes, free merchandise/products at each featured small business and the Grand Prize winner will win a VIP experience with Kevin Hart.
How to participate -
Head to any Hart House to pick up your wristband and flavor passport on Saturday, June 10th or Sunday, June 11th. You will get a stamp from Hart House (no purchase necessary).
