Around Harbor Gateway
Harbor Gateway, which was known as "Shoestring Strip," has a unique shape and condensed borders that consist of residential areas interspersed with industrial blocks. Its narrow north-south corridor connects to San Pedro, Wilmington, Harbor City, and the Port of Los Angeles with the rest of the city. Population density is average for the city of Los Angeles and there are ample places to live. Both single-family homes and mid-sized apartment complexes are prominent in the neighborhood, and almost two thirds of residents rent in Harbor Gateway.
When it comes to food, few places can rival Harbor Gateway for authentic, traditional Latino cuisine. Fresh, steaming hot tamales served with homemade beans and rice are common meals found in the local restaurants along Sepulveda Boulevard or Western Avenue. Casual Peruvian restaurants serving up lime marinated ceviche that features fish caught only hours ago are also favorites in the area. Being connected to the L.A. Harbor region has its benefits like having amazing seafood year round. BBQ is also extremely popular in this part of Los Angeles, and patrons can enjoy meat so tender that it practically falls of the bone.
Although it has residential pockets, Harbor Gateway is a heavily industrialized area, so don't be surprised to see oil and gas refineries shooting smoke into the air. The petroleum industry has a heavy presence in the city, and is a major employer of residents living in the area. There is also plenty of traffic as commuters make their way through Harbor Gateway and towards the other various parts of Los Angeles.
Bars abound in Harbor Gateway, and there are plenty of places to meet friends for a drink or two after work. A majority of these bars are casual places around Torrance Boulevard or Sepulveda Boulevard that are excellent for watching sporting events on T.V. Dinner at one of the many Mexican restaurants is sure to provide a smile on your face as you eat dish after dish of homemade enchiladas, tacos, and pozole without putting a dent in your wallet. If you want to explore your options, head to the Queen Mary in nearby Long Beach for some fine dining aboard a classic cruise liner.
Take to the water to get the most out of your Sundays in Harbor Gateway. The nearby Pacific Ocean is a fun way to get out of the city, and boat rentals make it both quick and easy. There are also fishing charters available, providing customers with a way to get in a day's worth of sport fishing without needing to buy a pole or bait.
