Yelp Baltimore’s March Elite Event was about showing the men some love. Of course, ladies were welcome too, but after all the women-centric Elite Events, it was time for a little something special for the Yelp boys in our lives. Think cognac, cornhole, and cuts – barbershop style!
Cognac, cornhole, and a whole bunch of cuts – barbershop style! Yelp Baltimore's March Elite Event was all about showing the men some love with an Elite Event full of their favs in Yelp's Man Cave!
New multicultural barbershop, Royal Razor, hosted the event offering complimentary cuts and shaves for attendees in their expansive urban oasis, complete with loft-like feel, exposed brick, and multiple TVs.
"The inside of Royal Razor was very nice – clean, modern, nothing junking up the place," says Michelle H. "My husband received a hot towel shave from Luis (Tito) and I was thoroughly impressed! They do the works – electric shaver to trim, full facial lather with hot towel, pre-shave oil, straight edge razor, then after shave and moisturizer. He arrived scruffy and left with his face as smooth as a baby's bottom, which makes me very happy. And you know what they say, happy wife, happy life. *wink*"
In between the cuts, Elites took advantage of all the toys in this 'roided-out rec room! There were plenty of "fun things to do — giant Jenga and Connect Four, bean bag (sock) toss, mini ping pong, and darts, just to name a few," Tunaidi A explains. And don't forget the drinks! "Courvoisier was fantastic," he adds. The cognac was on site with samples of its new Rosé and Gold cognacs, infused with red wine and moscoto, respectively.
Fueling the evening's festivities was Two Boots Pizza serving up poppin' hot pies with a cajun kick! "Two Boots did a marvelous job rallying with three waves of pizza varieties," Ruth C brags. "'The Tony Clifton' and 'The Dude' were very respectable… but my favorite was probably 'The Old Bay Beast,' generously dotted with decadent ingredients!"
At the end of the night, four lucky winners who struck the 'manliest pose' and uploaded it to the Yelp Elite Event listing went home with a (never-for-sale) custom Two Boots' t-shirt. Lookin' good and eatin' good… nothing wrong with that!
Until the next time, Dapper Dynamos!
