Yelp Shot Glasses and Pinata FiguresThis past Saturday we had the privilege of hosting a nice event for a group of active Yelp community members here in St. Louis. Yelp is an online community that connects businesses with customers who have the opportunity to read about their businesses, talk with other Yelp members about it and even leave a review. The party was a gathering for the “Yelp Elite”, those participants on the sitewho are the “the most passionate Yelpers that makes our community so funny, useful and cool! (Yelp.com)” This party gave the Yelp Elite a chance to see what Latitude 26 is all about and we were pleased to share the evening with them.

St. Louis’ Yelp Community Manager, Abby Schwarz, did an amazing job with festive decorations and the perfect mix of guests and treats. There were miniature piñatas, an inflatable limbo pole, tons of Yelp trinkets and a sombrero photo contest. (The most stylish sombrero-wearer received a pair of tickets to the Sex and the City 2 movie premier this weekend!) Attendees got to sample some tasty dishes from our restaurant, and also Sauza Tequila and Schlafly Beer from Major Brands, Wines from Argentina and Chile from Pinnacle Imports, and delicious “margarita” chocolates from Kakao. It was a real treat to be selected as the host of this party! We had a blast, and the reviews seem to reflect that our guests did as well!
