Stopped by the The Chewish Deli and Bagel Uprising. Picked up some bagel seeds. Hope they sprout...
Who knew a bagel can be so delicious and come in so many sandwich options? The classic with salmon was magically delicious! We highly encourage you to visit Bagel Uprising!
Here's a fun fact you may not know about me - before taking the leap into entrepreneurship, I worked full-time in nonprofit development!💰 I'm still extremely passionate about that work and also provide fundraising and consulting support for nonprofits through Honey and Lavender. I recently wrapped up working with my daughter's school to help plan, market, manage, and execute a day of giving called "Mariner Madness"! Normally their annual fundraiser is a gala event, but I enjoyed helping them pivot to create a day of fun virtual and safe outdoor in-person events, leading up to a hybrid online auction! Here's a peek into how the day went:
🥯 Families came to the school's playground to pick up breakfast boxes, featuring bagels by Bagel Uprising and coffee by St. Elmo's Coffee Pub.
🎨 Familes could also pick up pre-ordered clay art kits by Kidcreate Art Studio
🪄 Families tuned into a virtual magic show just before lunchtime
🍸 Parents participated in a virtual cocktail master class leading up to the main event...
💰 Finally, the hybrid online and silent auction kicked off!
It was such a fun, successful day! Which of the Mariner Madness activities sounds the most fun to you?!

The Alexandria Del Ray neighborhood is a wonderful close knit community which feels a bit like a small town. We started our day in Del Ray with an amazing coffee at Stomping Ground, a delicious bagel at Bagel Uprising, a little shopping at Kiskadee, met a client for lunch at Holy Cow Del Ray and then had the best frozen custard at The Dairy Godmother. What an amazing day walking around Del Ray!
Who knew bagels come in so many different ways? Have you tried Bagel Uprising? Delish!!!

Saw this and thought it was great bagel humor! Joy Drachman
Had my first bagel from you today....so good. And the salmon! Will be back
