Passport to Mosaic Kickoff Elite Event: Just Like the Movies

Fabulous Fabulous event!
I had such a fun time at this event.
Atmosphere: it was chill and cool, with all the Unilocal Elites and up on the 3^rd floor. Even though it was super snowy and rainy out, we still had plenty of light and warmth on the inside.
I really enjoyed the «Guess your celebrity» activity. It really allowed people to mingle and interact with people they didn’t know. We all had fun guessing and learning about celebrities haha.
The food was good, I really enjoyed the different types of popcorn! Yum! and so appropriate for the event.
The favorite of the event was the olive oil & vinegar (at least for some of the people I talked to). Some people drank shots of the olive oil… LOL. It was that good. I Loved the gift bags! Can’t wait to try out the olive oil and vinegar with bread. Thank you so much for the coupons and discounts.
Great time was had by all! Yay! (Oh and I am always down for a chance to dress up!)

This was a laid back and fun event. Despite the horrible weather, it was great seeing everyone having fun and dressing up in character. I never thought I’d see the day that Marilyn Monroe would have turquoise hair, but indeed it has happened. I think Marilyn can eat her heart out because Gretchen rocked it!
Overall festive. I loved Ah Love and Oil. That was the selling point of the event. I hate SweetGreen. I just do and there is no flex on this, so I just won’t comment on them. Cava always is impressive. I enjoyed their dips and what not.
Good event and like the Mosaic area.

Despite the rain wind and hail, this Unilocal event had a great turnout! I checked in, played the «guess who the actor was in your back» game, and made my way to some Sweet Green wraps. Alongside was some chips and dips from Cava Mezze and some flavored popcorn (beer and cheddar) I love the feta cheese dip from Cava just needed some jalapeño in it. Beside that station was the Ah love Oil that I got to try… mmmm mmm mmm!
Kudos to Gretchen for the awesome costume, the ice breaker game which made it fun going up to random people and for putting on an awesome event! Oh and of course I loved the swag we got… I can wait to put them to use.
Great kickoff for the actual take off of events at Mosaic!

I am really excited for the Unilocal’s Passport to Mosaic events that’s lined up for this whole week. It was really cool to be part of this particular one at the Angelika Movie Theater today, where the initial kick-​off began. People donned in their classic movie character costumes or their favorite ‘classical’ movie actor/​actress (I was Elliott with my E.T. :D and mingled on the 3^rd floor of this theater. My husband and I came to this theater a couple of times, and we knew the space; it was cool to see it being utilized for events, such as this one. Everyone received an Actor/​Actress sticker on their back, so it was neat to try to guess who we were — I was Cinderella (yay, Disney!). We were able to sample delicious bites from Sweetgreen (wraps), Ah Love Oil & Vinegar (balsamic vinegar and olive oil with some of their baked goods using olive oil), and Cava Mezze Grill (crunchy chips with an array of dips). I was really excited for Sweetgreen and Ah Love Oil as Sweetgreen is right around the corner from where I work, and I’ve been curious about Ah Love! We got to try: various popcorn from the theater (tandoori yogurt, beer and cheddar, toasted caramel, and plain buttered popcorn), dips (hummus, tzatziki, baba ghanouj (?), and my absolute favorite, the feta (nice tangy and cheesy!)), wraps from Sweetgreen (there weren’t any labels but just colored post-​its; I chose one that happened to be vegetarian and I think it contained chickpeas and falafels (?) — it tasted wonderful with the fillings of lettuce, chickpeas, etc. — very flavorful, all wrapped up with a soft wheat tortilla!), and I really liked the dark chocolate balsamic vinegar (infused with dark chocolate and it tasted really good!) and the lemon white (tangy and citrus-​y) balsamic vinegar — both were really delicious and I loved receiving info on the selection from Cierra, the store’s representative. We even had a chance to talk with Elizabeth T., who works for the Mosaic’s marketing team — she was awesome, and she gave us information on the different phases of the District as well as that there will be more restaurants/​boutiques that will coming soon in the future. I even won a cool Unilocal zip up HOODIE — CRAZINESS! SO RIDICULOUS! Everyone walked away with a great Unilocal reusable grocery bag with deals/​discounts from the Mosaic businesses, a sample size of Sundried Olive Oil from Ah Love, My Eye Doctor stainless canteen, a Unilocal pen, Unilocal mints, Unilocal key chain, and a Neiman’s reusable bag. Thanks for a great event, Gretchen!!!
