One of L.A.’s must-eats in Northeast L.A., Cuban bakery Porto’s, opened a location in Downey yesterday. OC Register reports that the third outpost of this European/Latin pastry, bread, dulce de leche kiss, medianoche, cheese roll, and empanada artist is now up and buzzing on Firestone Blvd. So which location is closest to you? We did a little math (something we’d hoped to avoid by becoming writers) to find out. Okay, actually, we plugged some addresses into Google Maps to find out how many miles Porto’s is from a small scattering of neighborhoods. See our handy guide to get you to the closest Porto’s below. We’ve even marked a star by the shortest routes, which really should be whichever one keeps you off the 110 North after 3:00 P.M.
