La Scène: Where It's At

Missing the great city of Birmingham, Alabama, this Travel Tuesday. A couple of weeks ago, our first 2017 VIE Meet & Greet dinner was held at Frank Stitt's rustic and charming Italian restaurant, Bottega Cafe. Along with a few of our contributing writers and staff members, our guests included representatives from the Birmingham Convention Center, Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce, and the shops and restaurants featured in the Birmingham travel spotlight, "The Heart of Dixie," from the Culinary and Couture Issue. Thank you to all of those who came out and said hi! We had a great time meeting everyone and making new friends!
