"Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels not only supports local farmers but also ensures our guests enjoy meals made from natural, healthy, and responsibly sourced ingredients. By collaborating with local purveyors, sustainability becomes an essential part of the Loews dining experience."
Each salad will showcase locally sourced ingredients, from farms and purveyors, offering guests a deeper connection to the sustainability practices behind every dish.
