CITY GUIDE
LITTLE EDITORS’ LETTER As we’ve all had to adjust to a new normal, we have never been more proud or grateful to celebrate the locally-owned small business community in Little Rock, Arkansas. This guide profiles and honors our community’s artisans, entrepreneurs, and makers, highlighting their unique gifts, their vibrancy, and their resilience. We love how much Little Rock has to offer—from its natural beauty and outdoor activities to its delicious cuisine, exciting nightlife, and friendly people—and we can’t wait to show our favorite ways to spend time in our favorite city. We design our guide to inspire you and give you access to our community’s hidden jewels and best secrets. We also design it to be displayed, to be shared with guests and newcomers, to be discussed with friends. Regardless of whether this is your first time visiting our precious city on the banks of the Arkansas River or you’ve spent your whole life here, we hope our guide helps you connect with Little Rock on a deeper level, and enjoy all the wonderful gifts it has to offer. We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the businesses that appear in these pages for their support in producing this guide. We are honored to help tell their stories, and we can’t wait to share more about them in the coming year. When you’re out and about, don’t forget to tell them the Scout sent you. We can’t wait to see you around town!
