SCOUTED HOSPITALITY GROUP: Boasting some of the most noteworthy restaurants in the North Shore and the city, this iconic hospitality group needs no introduction, but we’d like to give it one anyway:

A tried and true community favorite, Ballyhoo focuses on providing feel-good dining experiences to all – which is seen and experienced by guests in everything from the atmosphere, service, and, most importantly – the food and beverage.
With five (soon to be six) restaurants on the North Shore, it’s hard to pick just one, but sound off in the comments below with your favorite:

SCOUTED | STONE TEXTILE STUDIO
From her earliest days, art has been deeply woven into the fabric of Elizabeth Mollen`s life, which made her evolution into a designer a natural progression. The granddaughter of an artist and antique dealer, Elizabeth spent her formative years immersed in creative pursuits by drawing and redecorating her childhood bedroom.
After studying textile design and art history in Italy during college, the experience led Elizabeth to work in fashion design in New York and Los Angeles. A move to Austin prompted a change, but her love of fabrics and patterns made for an easy segue into a career in interior design, where she launched her textile collection.
Elizabeth now resides in her hometown of Highland Park with her husband and three children. Her deep-rooted love of bold patterns continues to inspire her designs, which have been featured in national publications such as @elledecor, @housebeautiful, @archdigest, @dominomag, and many more.
Many exciting things are in the works for @stonetextile in 2024, including a new collection of textiles, wallpaper, rugs, and custom furniture, so be sure to follow along!
