Happy Monkey Shop

Miami, FL

Happy Monkey Shop is a thoughtfully curated baby and kids destination built around one simple idea: the things our little ones play with, wear, and grow up around should be chosen with care. We stock conscious baby and kids brands across toys, clothing, accessories, home decor, strollers, and everyday baby essentials, favoring pieces that are well made, imaginative, and kind to the world our children are inheriting. Step inside our Coconut Creek shop and you will find open-ended playthings like modular activity boards and squishable characters sitting alongside dress-up jewelry, charm bracelets, and playful gifts that light up a child's face. Every brand we carry earns its place on the shelf, so parents, grandparents, and gift-givers can shop with confidence knowing the selection has already been vetted for quality and creativity. Whether you are hunting for a first-birthday present, a baby shower gift, or a small treat that feels a little more special than the big-box aisle, our team is happy to help you find it. Beyond the shelves, Happy Monkey is a community space for families. Our art studio hosts classes, workshops, day camp sessions, and birthday parties, giving kids a hands-on place to create, explore, and make friends. It is the kind of neighborhood spot where a quick errand can turn into an afternoon, and where the staff learns your child's name and what they are into this month. We are located at 4419 Lyons Road, Suite 104, in Coconut Creek, part of the Promenade at Coconut Creek. Our doors are open seven days a week: mornings through early evening on weekdays, later on Fridays and Saturdays, and shorter Sunday hours for a relaxed weekend browse. You can also reach us by phone or email, or explore the full collection online and have your favorites shipped to your door. At Happy Monkey Shop, we believe childhood is worth celebrating with intention. Come see why families across Coconut Creek and Broward County trust us for gifts and everyday finds that feel as good as they look.

Peter Aupperle

Bedford, NY

Peter Aupperle is a licensed real estate salesperson with Houlihan Lawrence in Bedford, New York, serving buyers and sellers throughout Westchester County. He brings an unusual and valuable combination to the work: the analytical discipline and deep empathy of a former healthcare professional, paired with real, lived experience as a property owner. Over the years Peter has personally owned and lived in more than a dozen properties, from single-family homes and townhomes to condominiums and rental units, many of them in Westchester itself. That first-hand experience means he understands the process from the client's side of the table. He knows what it feels like to weigh a big decision, to worry about the details, and to want a guide who listens carefully before offering advice. Peter serves the communities of northern and central Westchester, including Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua, Katonah, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pleasantville, Pound Ridge, Somers, South Salem and White Plains. Working under the Houlihan Lawrence banner gives his clients the reach and market data of one of the region's most established brokerages, while his personal approach keeps every transaction grounded and unhurried. His healthcare career shaped the way he works. He listens the way a good clinician does, asking questions, paying attention to what matters most to each person, and translating a complicated process into clear, manageable steps. For buyers, that means patient guidance and honest counsel about each property's strengths and trade-offs. For sellers, it means thoughtful preparation and steady communication from listing through closing. A member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals, Peter is committed to being an affirming, judgment-free resource for LGBTQ+ clients and their families as they navigate one of life's most significant investments. Whether you are buying your first Westchester home, selling a longtime residence, or relocating to the area, Peter Aupperle offers a calm, well-informed partner focused entirely on your goals.

Jennivee's Bakery

Chicago, IL

At Jennivee's Bakery, we believe everyone deserves good cake. What started as one woman's lifelong love of baking has grown into one of Chicago's most welcoming sweet spots, tucked into the Lakeview neighborhood and open to absolutely everyone. Our founder, Jennivee, is a proud transgender Filipina baker who opened these doors in 2017 to share her confections and to build a space where the LGBTQ community and its allies always feel at home. We are proudly trans-owned, and that spirit of inclusion is baked into everything we do, from the people we welcome at the counter to the care we put into every order. Step inside and you will find cases full of temptations. We are known for our cakes and cupcakes, with more flavors than you can count, alongside brownies, bars, sweet rolls, cheesecakes, cookies, and fresh breakfast pastries. Filipino-inspired favorites like ube, mango, and tres leches sit right beside classic chocolate and vanilla, so there is something for every craving and every celebration. Need a custom cake for a birthday, wedding, or just because? We love turning your ideas into edible art. We are also one of the few bakeries in the city that keeps the lights on late. On weekends you can satisfy a midnight sweet tooth with us, because a good dessert should never have to wait until morning. Grab a cupcake and a coffee, settle in with friends, and enjoy the easy, friendly vibe our regulars rave about. Over the years we have been honored to share our story on television and to see neighbors, first-timers, and out-of-towners become part of our extended family. Every slice we serve carries the same message: you are welcome here, exactly as you are. So whether you are picking up a dozen cupcakes, ordering a showstopping custom cake, or simply popping in for a late-night treat, come indulge responsibly with us. We cannot wait to send you home a little sweeter than you arrived.

The Breakfast Klub

Houston, TX

Welcome to the breakfast klub, Houston's home for the best breakfast in the city. Since founder Marcus Davis opened our doors in Midtown in September 2001, we have been serving up great home-style breakfast with the kind of superior service and genuine hospitality that turns first-time visitors into family. We are a proud Black-owned Houston institution, and everything we do starts with the community that raised us. Marcus built this place on a simple idea: give people soulful, savory food made the way it ought to be made, and treat every guest like they belong here. More than two decades later, that idea still defines every plate that leaves our kitchen. You already know what we are famous for. Our Wings & Waffles is the dish that put us on the map, golden wings alongside a light, crisp waffle that keeps folks coming back and keeps the line moving out the door. Right next to it on the wall of legends is our Katfish & Grits, seasoned and fried the way the South intended, served over creamy grits that taste like Sunday morning. Whatever you order, it comes with our signature seasoning, the soulful and savory blend that carries a little bit of Houston in every bite. We serve breakfast and lunch, so there is no wrong time to pull up a chair. Breakfast runs all through the morning, and lunch is ready when the midday crowd rolls in. Come by yourself, bring the whole family, or let us cater your next event. We also offer to-go orders, gift kards, and family meal packages so you can take a little of the klub home with you. Over the years the breakfast klub has grown into more than a restaurant. We have become a top Houston tourist stop and a hometown favorite, a place where visitors, regulars, neighbors, and celebrities all share the same tables. That is exactly how Marcus wanted it. When you walk through our doors at 3711 Travis Street, you are not just a customer. You are part of the klub. Come hungry, leave full, and bring somebody with you next time.

Phoenix Coquí

Phoenix, AZ

Bienvenidos to Phoenix Coqui, where every plate carries a piece of Puerto Rico. We are a proud family-owned kitchen, started by Alexis and Juan, who grew up in Toa Alta and carried their island recipes all the way to the Arizona desert. What began in a home kitchen back in 2013 grew into a food truck in 2017, and in February 2022 we finally planted roots with our own brick-and-mortar home on North 15th Avenue. Every step of that journey has been about one thing: sharing real Puerto Rican food with warm service that feels like family. When you walk through our doors, we want you to taste the island the way we do. Our mofongo is the heart of the menu, that unmistakable garlicky mash of green plantains, piled high and served your way, from shrimp to our slow-roasted pernil. We fry our empanadillas until they are golden, layer our pastelon into a sweet-and-savory comfort you will not forget, and simmer our pollo a la criolla in the kind of sofrito that only comes from generations of practice. For a sweet finish, our quesitos bring that flaky, creamy bite that reminds so many of our guests of home. Everything we serve comes from family recipes, made from scratch with the same care our abuelas taught us. We did not learn this cooking from a book. We learned it in real kitchens, surrounded by loud music, good company, and the smell of adobo in the air. That spirit is what we try to bottle up and pour into every order, whether you are dining in, grabbing takeout on your lunch break, or letting us cater your next celebration. We are more than a restaurant. We are a little corner of Puerto Rico in the middle of Phoenix, and being recognized by Phoenix Magazine as a favorite Puerto Rican spot only makes us want to cook harder for you. Stop by, say wepa, and let us feed you like one of our own. Whether it is your first taste of the island or a bite that brings you back to childhood, we cannot wait to welcome you to the table. Parking is in the rear, and a warm plate is always waiting.

Threads Boutique

Pittsburgh, PA

Could not verify a standalone, independently operating business named "Threads Boutique" in Pittsburgh, PA. The website hint (paintedtree.com) points to Painted Tree Boutiques, a large marketplace at 490 E Waterfront Dr, Homestead, PA 15120 (Pittsburgh metro / The Waterfront) that houses hundreds of independent vendor booths selling gifts, decor, apparel, and accessories. "Threads Boutique" appears most likely to be one such women's clothing vendor booth inside that marketplace rather than a business with its own storefront, website, Google Business Profile, or independent hours. Painted Tree's own listing (open ~10am-8pm daily, phone 412-326-1100) covers the whole marketplace, not any single booth, and individual booths are not separately listed with verifiable photos, hours, or accessibility data. Web and social searches did surface other similarly named but distinct Pennsylvania businesses (Threads Boutique in Wrightstown/@threadsboutique.pa near Philadelphia; Threads & Things consignment in McKees Rocks; Threads Marketplace in Phoenixville, now closed), none of which is confirmably the intended Pittsburgh "Threads Boutique." Because a FEATURED, truthful-only profile requires verified facts, no photos, hours, accessibility details, or fabricated description are provided here. To confirm, contact Painted Tree Boutiques Homestead directly (412-326-1100) to verify whether a booth called "Threads Boutique" currently operates there, or obtain the operator's own social/website link.
