Mayor Sharona Nazarian’s inaugural “Spotlight with Sharona” event took place on April 23 at Novikov. A sold-out crowd of 150 community members came out to support and sample the Canon Drive restaurant’s menu offerings. Organized in partnership with the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, the initiative features different businesses throughout Beverly Hills and invites the public to experience them alongside the mayor.
“I think that we have so much to offer her in the community, and I really wanted to be able to highlight the various businesses,” Nazarian told the Courier. “We are facing certain economic restraints in the coming years, and so I really wanted to find ways to support the local businesses while also highlighting the various programs that we have throughout the city. So, we’re going to be doing programs that also include the southeast part of town, including South Beverly Drive, and different areas that people may not normally visit.”
