Locally Owned Restaurants

Posted on December 17, 2015 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Ashley's Lists, Christmas 2015, Out and about..., RNYM's Picks .

Disclosure: This is an unsponsored post.

Right now is a great time to show some support for local restaurants. Not only do gift certificates make amazing presents, they are also a great way to have delish food without having to cook when we are so busy like we are at this time of year.

I know I appreciate gift cards to restaurants greatly because I always feel guilty spending money on a night out. BUT if they are a gift I have an excuse. I not only have the night off from cooking, but better yet, a forced adult night with RNYD which we rarely get a chance to have.

So Since you all wanted them on the list for great places to shop locally and the list got long (very long) we decided to make it its own post. Here are great local restaurants to check out (organized by town).

You may want to “pin” it for the next time you need a good place to eat!

Where to Shop Local this Holiday Season

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Ashley Carmichael Posted in Ashley's Lists, Christmas 2015, Day Trips, Out and about..., Thoughts.. .

Disclosure: This is an unsponsored post. RNYM believes that you should #shopsmall #shoplocal when possible. All opinions expressed are our own.

As you begin shopping for the holiday season, consider shopping locally and supporting our community! There are many great local options where you can find items tailored toward your specific needs. Money spent locally helps keep our small businesses open, and creates a strong community.

One of the things we love here at RNYM is that the smaller businesses tend to have specialty items you can’t find anywhere else. These items are often of better quality and become very special to those you give them to. We asked the community for input and here is a great list of places to support this holiday season. We decided that because of the overwhelming response that we would include local restaurants etc. in another post.
