Flavors of Whitter - fine cigars and fine foods

Bethania Palma

WHITTIER - Picture yourself with a fine cigar or mojito in hand, the smells from some of Whittier's tastiest restaurants wafting in the air, and a miles-long view of a rosy sunset.

That should sum up the scene this Sunday as the Whittier Uptown Association and its partners present the second annual Flavors of Whittier.

The annual event aims to throw an appreciative spotlight on some of the area's best cuisine amid a party-like setting.

Well, as party-like as organizers can pull off atop the parking structure at 6721 Bright Ave. in Uptown."The parking structure provides a great view of Whittier, L.A. and Long Beach," said Uptown Association Manager Larry Trujillo. "It's really beautiful once the sun starts to set."

More than 25 restaurants will set up booths on the parking structure rooftop, offering samples of their best cuisine. Plus, Trujillo said, "there will be beer and wine, soft drinks, mojitos - all kinds of fun things to drink."

Employees from Havana House, Uptown's popular cigar bar, will be hand-rolling cigars.

...this will be a good event...
