Young professionals from Downtown Dallas Inc., Lee Park Junior Conservancy and Genesis Young Leaders packed into The Woolworth in downtown Dallas for the spring CultureMap Social. The happy hour was bumping as stylish scenesters worked the room, hoping to make some new friends and connections.
To start, attendees got their photos snapped at a booth provided by Photomadic before heading up the stairs. They followed the sounds of the Danny Church Band to the light-filled bar and library, where custom Cointreau cocktails created by Woolworth mixologist Mike Hernandez awaited.
Partygoers — including Catherine Cuellar, Ashley Turkett, Shalissa Colwell, Jackson, Benny Black, Ricky Grunden, Silver Hogue, Rachel Himmelhoch, Kerrie Coughlin and Monica Berry — also noshed on tasty bites such as baked Brie, truffle fries, crab nachos, chocolate-covered strawberries and beignets as they circulated in the space beautifully accented by arrangements from Jackson Durham.
Not surprisingly, everyone went nuts over the must-have swag bag filled with goodies from The Joule, Dallas Mavericks, Kendra Scott, Uber, Exhale Spa and Hospitality Sweet. Treats from Fluellen cupcakes were there for the taking as everyone exited.
