The ALIVE office now shares an address with a charming local bakery. Needless to say; I’m in heaven. Today marks the first day in our new office space in Benton Park, in the same building that houses Shock City Studios and Bittersweet Bakery. And while the ALIVE crew is excited and energized in our new locale, the move has been somewhat bittersweet.
We called the Central West End our home for the last two years and loved/appreciated every second of it. We loved the fact that we could walk to the Cupcakery for a mid-day, Double chocolate pick-me-up or to the former Companion for a petite sack lunch. The editors and designers would take dail
y trips to Straub’s for Diet Mountain Dew and Hot Tamales (wait, that was just my personal shopping list!). We would stroll down Maryland Plaza and say hello to the boys at Moris Fashions. But the one thing I miss the most is Crepes; etc, Scape American Bistro and Chef Eric Kelly. ALIVE spent hours upon hours at Crepes; etc, in meetings, refilling on coffee (our daily fuel) and enjoying Chef Eric and his team’s amazing menu of French-inspired eats, from savory and sweet crepes (the nutella crepe is a must-order) to waffles, gelato and sweet treats (try the cheesecake lollipops). And while we love that we have moved from one stellar spot to another, our CWE family (and especially Chef Eric and Crepes; etc) will always hold a special place in our hearts.
