"On the first night in Vegas, we went to a local cafe shop called Cafe Lola, one of 4 locations in Las Vegas. It was so cute to see it in person because I follow the owner, Dr. Alexandra Lourdes, on social media. Dr. Alexandra and her family are so cute, and I love watching her create new drinks and donuts on all her social media platforms with her business partners and her family. She takes the time to put in the effort and create something special for every customer, whether a custom order of donuts or something new she receives in a shipment to create a new menu item at any of her locations." Shelbie Gray, Client Success Specialist

"Provare, a Creole + Italian Fusion restaurant, was my favorite place to eat all weekend. The food was some of the best pasta I've had. The vibe was great. The owners personally greeted every customer and walked them over to their table. We noticed a speakeasy inside the restaurant but couldn't check it out because of a private party being held there for the night. It will be a place that we will have to visit again!" Pat Lovan, Business Development Strategist

"At Harold’s, the owner, Harold, told us all the stories of celebrities coming through there and watching them fall in love with his pastrami dish. The size of the pastries they had was insane as well! He was extremely appreciative of us stopping in." Miguel Marshall, Account Manager

"We made new memories and explored new places we had both never been. We didn't have an agenda; everything we did was spontaneous! Mother-daughter trips have always taught us so much about each other and brought us closer together." Melissa Say, Risk & Compliance Specialist

"We went to eat brunch in Frisco. The restaurant was called "Tocko." I ordered a margarita and a breakfast plate. The service was amazing, and the food and drinks tasted phenomenal as well!" Daven Ngo, Quality Control Specialist

The highlight of capturing a small business during this trip was our visit to Company Distilling Co. As a bourbon lover, visiting this local whiskey distillery was a memorable experience, especially knowing Jeff Arnett, the former master distiller at Jack Daniels, owns it. The craftsmanship and passion behind the distillery were a true reflection of Tennessee’s local heritage." William Onofre, Tech Specialist
