In a recent newsletter + on Instagram, we asked, “What are you thankful for this year? Today, we’re sharing those answers and how you can get in on the local gratitude.

“Our amazing community that we get to serve our traditional and unique Japanese cuisine too!” — @omakaselex

“My sweet, supportive, and incredibly hilarious girl gang!” — Reader Caitlyn E.

“Always thankful for my wonderful wife.” — @maxiu1972

“Good health, friends, bourbon, and horses.” — Reader Terry A.

“Our first responders, fire fighters, and police.” — Reader Maryellen H.

Many of you mentioned that you are thankful for us, so excuse us while we cry tears of joy. Without our dedicated readers, followers, small businesses + local creatives, we wouldn’t be here. We’re grateful for Y-O-U.
