Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café located on Main Street at The Shops at La Cantera is celebrating its second anniversary in San Antonio through community give back. The restaurant’s “Eat Here, Feed There” program will benefit two charities it partnered with during its grand opening – the San Antonio Food Bank and Culinaria. (Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café, 2021)

As part of “Eat Here, Feed There,” Sweet Paris will donate five percent of all crêpes sold to the charities during the month of September. The San Antonio Food Bank, which serves Southwest Texas, provides food for 120,000 individuals weekly – a number that reflects the pandemic’s local impact. Sweet Paris also partners with the San Antonio Food Bank year-round with an ongoing campaign to donate fourteen cents per participating crêpes sold to provide one meal to a child in need. The not-for-profit Culinaria promotes San Antonio as a premiere food and wine destination through year-round events including Restaurant Weeks, Chef Swaps, Hallowine Run, and Food Trails.

“Giving back is just a part of our company tradition. We’re thrilled to be celebrating our second anniversary and thankful we can give back to this community which has welcomed us so warmly.” – Strategic Partner Stephan Raveneau, Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café

Recently, Sweet Paris announced its Build Your Own Crêpes catering menu, which is ideal for anyone planning a party for a group of twenty guests or more for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Catering professionals will customize a menu for your event and budget. For party planning call or text (832) 967-8396 or submit your request to Stephan Raveneau. Orders can be prepared on site or served boxed as a complete meal.

Founded in Houston, Texas in 2012, Sweet Paris has locations in Rice Village, CityCentre, Katy, Highland Village, College Station, The Woodlands, Baybrook, Sugar Land, Austin, San Antonio, and Nuevo Vallarta — with new locations coming soon.

Airports are busier, planes are filling up, and everything associated with travel is starting to show signs of recovery after a difficult year. Now is the time to get out and spread your wings again – even more so with National Aviation Day, August 19, just around the corner. To skip the crowded airports, plan a point-to-point getaway on your personal plane or privately charter their aircraft and land at JL Bar Ranch, Resort & Spa. (JL Bar Ranch, Resort & Spa, 2021)  

JL Bar Ranch, Resort, and Spa—a 32-room boutique resort in Texas Hill Country with standalone accommodations on the sprawling 13,000-acre property—makes small-scale travel even more exclusive and easy with The JL Bar Ranch and Resort Full Service Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Airport . JL Bar’s airport contains an abundance of amenities that are rare for a private airstrip, including a 5300’ x 80’ asphalt top runway, space for multiple jets, crew and passenger lounges, single point or over the wing fuel, in-flight dining from the resort’s private chef and so much more. To provide a safe operational environment for operators and guests flying in, The JL Bar Ranch and Resort Airport provides FAA certified weather from its AWOS weather reporting system. While some guests may choose the few-hour drive to Sonora, TX, cross-country travelers looking to refuel and recharge for the night, aviation enthusiasts, and luxury travelers looking for a point-to-point getaway experience can arrive via private jet or personal airplane. In addition to the private FBO, The JL Bar Ranch offers the following accommodations and activities for guests—
