Our new crew got familiar recently over food and cocktails at Zare at The Fly Trap. We couldn’t be happier to have this amazing collection of in-the-know folks about town. From right to left, Victoria McGinley of VMac + Cheese, Jeanne Chan of Shop Sweet Things, Mika Takeuchi of Food Fashionista and Susie Wyshak of Epicuring.
