#Repost from @picnicinthealley . . Do you have YOUR tickets to #PicnicInTheAlley? Visit @picnicinthealley or @secretburger.com to get your tickets TODAY! Don’t let them sell out without you! While you’re perusing the Alley, meet Sonia Stelea ( @roaminglore ), General Manager of Ada’s Las Vegas ( @adaslv ) in Tivoli Village in Summerlin. You can also find Sonia at Esther’s Kitchen ( @estherskitchenlv ), Ada’s sister restaurant, in DTLV Arts District! Sonia was brought up around food and winemaking in Romania, amongst her uncle’s vineyard and her aunt’s flower farm. Her oldest and fondest memories of food still connect her to her uncle; “There was a particular event I link to my obsession with dining out and it was the first time I can remember being in a restaurant. My uncle took me to this white tablecloth restaurant in the middle of Bucharest and I remember being treated like an adult by the waiter (even though I was maybe just barely 3 or 4). Something about that memory... the feeling of sophistication, of expectation, the taste of the "pizza," the smell of my uncle's tripe soup. Something stuck.” Starting at the young age of 14, she entered the restaurant business to make “some easy money” and eventually found that she was making those memories for others as she worked her higher and higher in her career; “restaurants became my closest link to my best soulmate, who I lost way too soon.” @picnicinthealley speaks to Sonia because she says women need a voice in Las \Vegas and, in fact, everywhere. She says women are too often put into boxes by male-driven leadership and says she is grateful to be mentored by women AND men who understand that we are equals and meant to work together, as equals, with progression in mind. Sonia finds strength and inspiration in the memory of her great aunt Elisabeta. “She made no apologies, she lived a life to be feared, she felt pain unlike others but her chin never went down. There was no reasoning that woman into being less. She was a beast to be reckoned with.“ #FastFacts: Downtown for the drinks and friends, Chinatown for the late night eats; self-park, curved brims, patios, and stilettos.
