Neely has been producing national
editorial and advertising projects on
a freelance basis since moving from
New York to Virginia in 1999. Before
her move, she was on the masthead
at Elle Decor as an Assistant Editor
and later Architectural Digest as
a Contributing Editor.
Totally adorable Main Street bakery
that offers eclairs and choux, tarts,
macarons, croissants, and cookies
(including their scalloped spin on
a black-and-white cookie called the
Whisker). Whisk features a mix of
traditional French baking and treats
with a twist like a Nutella macaron
tinted Tiffany blue. Sandwiches are
also great so this can double as a lunch
option and happy hour spot. Could
even pinch hit for early light supper!
