Elite Event: Monster Mash at 2 East Wells

I had a blast at my first Elite event!
First off the apartment complex is BEAUTIFUL. After the tour and talking with the staff they seriously had me contemplating breaking my lease to move into one of their units. And the rooftop view of fed hill was the icing on the cake.
My food/​vendor favorites:
Cazbar — reaffirming my love for Mediterranean food
Baltimore in a Box — this just screams Christmas gifts
Relay foods — so thankful to be introduced to such a cool new service in the area! I’ve since placed a few orders from them and shared with my friends and co-​workers. Lucky for us, they even have a pick-​up location right at Hopkins making it an easy stop on the way home from work.
Diamondback Brewery — their golden ale is my new fav
Felici Café — I have to admit I went back a few times for that lamb stew. One place I will definitely be revisiting
The Mother’s Grill buffet items went pretty fast so unfortunately I wasn’t able to try the spread there, but I didn’t go hungry.
As far as the costumes go, I learned quickly that the Elite do not mess around. The party was such a great time and I can’t wait for the next event!

First time attending a Unilocal!Elite event and had plenty of fun. I didn’t have time to dress up, but plenty of other people did! The 2 East Wells location is pretty nice, and we had free parking too, which is always a plus in Baltimore. Lots of delicious food and themed drinks. Some of the simpler food (like meatballs and mac and cheese) disappeared in seconds, despite the extremely long line, but it seemed like the vendors had plenty of food, especially desserts. The harborque slider was really good, and the pumpkin drink that williams sonoma had out was pretty good too.
I also enjoyed the tour we got of 2 East Wells, which is a new chic apartment complex. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the long wait for the tour, as it was listed as ever y15 min, but it seemed like 2 tours were cut from the rotation, so it was more like a 45 min wait…

Thanks (Elsa) for throwing monster mass which was held at 2. East Wells. When we arrive we were surprised to see how many Unilocalers that was at this event. The line rapped around the building but when we got in it was worth the wait. The first thing we did was take a picture with Elsa who was dressed like Oprah.
I was in owe to see the amount of vendors that was at this event. The more I ate would tingle my taste buds for more and their drinks was awesome. This event is not for a person who is on a diet. After a while me and my wife and a couple of Unilocalers decided to go on the tour. I really enjoyed the roof patio if you wanted to be alone, read a book or listen to music. I thought the studio apartment was a little small.
I give this event five stars and I would like to thank Elsa and here staff and all of the vendors for throwing a great event. I would also like to thank the owners of 2 East Wells for allowing Elsa to throw this event at their establishments.

I had a fantabulous time at the Unilocal Monster Mash! Hats off to Elsa and the rest of the Unilocal Baltimore team for such a fun event. I was very impressed with the decorations and it definitely got me in the Halloween spirit even though it was still a week away. What I loved most about the event was everyone’s creative and well throughout costumes — I particularly liked the srirachia/​ramen pair and the chicken in a box (aka cockblock). You can always count on Unilocalers to come up with the most creative and punny costumes!
Anyway, the food spread was beyond awesome. There was Cazbar, Harbor BBQ, Homeslyce among many others but my favorite was Dessert Fantasies! Their cupcakes and other sweet treats were delicious and so creatively done for Halloween. Thanks so much to all of the vendors and companies for making the event as successful as it was. Salazon Chocolate is also my new favorite chocolate! I do wish that I had the chance to try out the food in the second room but by the time I got to the table, all the food was already gone.
The patio area was also a great setting for the event with plenty of couches, tables, hammocks and not to mention a jamming DJ. The apartment complex was also so modern and nice — definitely somewhere I would love to live. Overall, I had a blast and cannot think of a better way to start off the Halloween festivities!

This was a terrible event for me because I was supposed to be on a 10 day crash diet! I also associate being on a diet with not having fun… Well this event ruined it for me in many ways! I ate way too much yummy food and had way too much fun with old Unilocal friends and many new Unilocal friends… Terribly fun!
Thanks Elsa!

It’s always a treat to introduce someone to Unilocal Elitehood. I had convinced my date, a shameless workaholic, to jet downtown for some fun, and after walking through the dramatically curtained entrance, she turned a full circle in the lobby, open-​mouthed: «What. .. IS. .. this?!» Taking in the decadent dessert buffet, the open bar, the stalls of delicious freebies and the DJ spinning a club mix for the costumed masses, I had to agree it was impressive. The truth is, it’s been way too long since I enjoyed an evening with the Elites, and boy did I miss you guys! What a great night, catching up with old friends and making new ones, even if dressing in disguise isn’t really my cup of tea.
The food was a home run, or rather a series of home runs, a slugfest! I started with tiny, perfect bites of lamb stew, butternut squash, and even spiced latte «shots.» I had a drink to slow my roll (there was a wide selection of wines, plus Diamondback beers) and then joined the food line. I love Unilocal Elite Events because everyone’s having a good time even in line: I had a fun chat with an 80’s rocker who stubbornly refused to break character. Then there was hummus, tomato salad and tandoori chicken from Cazbar and chicken and spinach pizza from Home Slyce — two restaurants I know I love — and a wonderful surprise in HarborQue, which served crunchy coleslaw and tender pulled pork with two kinds of sauce (East Carolina pepper vinegar for me, thank you very much!)
Besides all the deliciousness, there were a number of wonderful giveaways: martini glasses, fruit/​nut bars, and some incredible locally-​made chocolate. I also loved the Baltimore in a Box idea: I’ve done that before for friends who moved away, but what a time saver to get it all in one place and beautifully packaged to boot. And one of the added benefits to Elite Events is that I learn all about new and fun places in the city. This apartment building was fun and sophisticated in a diverse neighborhood that I’d love to live in someday.
Thank you Elites, thank you Unilocal,and most of all thank you Elsa for throwing the most outrageous parties ever! You are the best!

What a fun event! I drove out for this event from Alexandria, va. The event took place in Baltimore, md near cherry hill and Hanover. I had no idea there was an upscale apartment complex. I always assumed the buildings in the area were older, more rundown and less upscale.
The event had an array of great food tasting options, free granola bar giveaways, lots of tasty treats.
I think the sweets were my favorite part! Omg they had sweets galore. And I don’t mean your typical Halloween candy. I mean chocolate covered rice crispies, chocolate covered apples, mini cupcakes… And… Omg… Don’t let me get stared on the cupcake flavors because they just went on and on and on. They had everything from vegan to your typical strawberry.
They ended the event with a costume contest. It was pretty entertaining.
I went as a ladybug and stayed classy like a lady at this event. It was fun and exciting. What a great way to start my Halloween festivities.

Always a fun time with Unilocal baltimore and Elsa! I was impressed by how many people dressed up. My costume was a last minute diy but it was great to get into the Halloween spirit!
There was pizza from homeslyce, kabob from cazbar and a most delicious pumpkin punch from Williams and Sonoma. Plus beer and wine. This was not my first time trying cupcakes from Dessert Fantasies but those mini cupcakes were bomb! I think I enjoyed it more than full size because you could try all the delicious flavors (my favs were the pumpkin and red velvet!)
Shout out to the awesome lady with the pot brownie costume! Speaking as a former Girl Scout I thought it was hilarious!

The purrrrrrfect party to start Halloween! The Unilocal crew set it off again at the 2 East Wells apartment complex in Federal Hill. This was one for the books!
Highlights of the night
+Those cupcakes… THOSE CUPCAKES! Dessert Fantasies did a great job. Their table featured several tasty treats plus the ladies were very friendly.
+Homeslyce! I enjoyed the pizza… fresh hot and delicious
+Diamond back beer (Amber) was good and I’m not really a beer drinker
+KIND fruit and nut bars not sure if everyone noticed but the samples were all over the place. I wish I would have taken more because they are SO GOOD.
+HarBQue loved the coleslaw and BBQ!
+Baltimore Box! Have to send some to friends out of state. Good gift idea.
+The tour of the complex by Becky. We saw a room and all of the amenities which included the upper deck, gym and all purpose room. Very informative!
+The costume contest was hilarious! My favorite costumes of the night were the Soccer Moms and the «cock» blocker. Very original and creative!
+The DJ had a great mix with my local favorite songs! I was like okay. get it!
+Elsa’s beautiful baby! Such a cutie!
Thanks to Elsa and the Unilocal crew for another great event. Keep em coming!

I think this is one of my favorite event types. You get a large diverse group of people and a large diverwe group of vendors. Add an open bar and you have the perfect environment to mingle meet new people and try new things!
So i met oprah just thought you all should know and she let me take a selfie (not to mention she brought out the cutest baby ive ever seen lol :))
Everything inside the apartment lobby was well set up for the Halloween theme and walking through the curtains you were just bombarded with options upon options of local vendors.
Kudos for introducing me to harborque! Im not gonma tell u how many pulled pork sandwiches i ate thats bewteen me and my scale.
The apartments seemed well appointed and their were convenient tours set up at regular intervals.
As always a great time Elsa and crew!
Dj was awesome dressed like a ninja and played some local music i had to do a double take like oh ok how do u know about that!

Sadly, this was my first event as an Elite and not as a Unilocal employee, but I had SUCH a good time and saw so many friendly and familiar faces!
I love love loved the entrance with the photo opportunity with Oprah Unilocalfrey aka Queen Elsa xoxo. The pipe and drape for the entrance was a nice touch as it allowed for the suspense of what was behind the black curtain!
When I pulled back the curtain I was pleasantly surprised! So many great food and drink vendors! It was slightly confusing when we first arrived and stood in a line only to find out it wasn’t really a line and we could walk up to all of the vendors individually but we quickly scooped up some food and remedied the situation.
I loved the outdoor space to hang out, listen to music and chat with old friends!
Shoutout to Elsa and Heather for another GREAT event! Also to the team at 2 East Wells for decorating their little hearts out. The complex looked awesome!

*rap voice* And another one!
What an awesome time on a Wednesday night?!
Elites were welcomed with a eerily smokey hallway before being led into the main party area.
Upon entering your eyes danced at the spread. Tasty pulled pork from HarBQue, slamming pizza by Homeslyce, savory chips, hummus and chicken from Cazbar and dangerously delightful dessert from Dessert Fantasy! Just to name a few. On top of that, there was 2 bars, Diamondback Brewery and other ghoulish props that housed cold brew!
Elsa, her crew and 2 East Wells pulled out all the stops.
There was so much to see, eat and try! Shoutout to Baltimore Box, William Sonoma, Mothers, Relay Foods and Kind! I had more than enough goodies to stuff in my bag!
Though my costume was a bit low key, I enjoyed seeing all my fellow elites and their guest show out!
Good time!

This was for sure the monster mash above any other! Unilocal and 2 East Wells really pulled out all of their Halloween tricks! When I arrived the parking attended was dressed up and directing people in the garage. I liked that the garage had a gate that could be locked! Walking into 2 East, was exciting the decorations were on point. I had no idea where to start, food and drink was in abundance! Cazbar, Homeslyce, and Harbor BBQ were my favorite. Harbor BBQ was the stand out for sure.
Williams Sonoma had a fabulous display and drinks, really made me want to check out the Halloween selection! Dessert Fantasies had cupcakes a plenty and so many flavors! Diamondback Beer was also a great tasting. 2 East Wells is awesome, I love the outdoor quad and the lobby with kitchen. This was a blast especially with everyone dressed up!

I loved this event! I did not dress up, and I partially suck for that. but I came as Cool Dee from work. So technically I did dress up. haha.
I really liked how everyone got into character, shout out out to the soccer moms. That was a creative outfit, mom jeans and fanny packs and the dance had me LOL HARD. Honorable mention to the cock blocker. lol. you had to be there.
The music was on point, the dj had us all rocking. Elsa was working the crowd as Oprah and all of the Unilocalers showed out.
Mothers Grill set up an amazing buffet. Mac n Cheese and crab dip oh yessss.
Homeslyce hooked us up.
I had some lamb stew from Felici Café which was heaven in my mouth.
The dessert bar looked wonderful, not my thing but everyone said it was great.
Thanks Kind for giving us snacks. And the property really rocks. I loved the roof top deck and amenities that come with the lofts there.
I loved the baltimore table and really seeing my new cool Unilocaler friends. Sorry I am bad with names but faces I remember. I hope to see you all soon!

You know it’s about to go down when you see there is a line to get into the an Elite Unilocal event.
You are an Elite. You are an Elite. And you are an Elite.
Our well dressed Oprah (Elsa) made everyone an Elite for the night. After being greeted by the happy Unilocal staff and picking up my Unilocal swag.
It was time for my close up with Oprah! Yes it was everything you can imagine. She was bubbly and ready to give the baddest interview of all times. The candy tables were great.
When you looked ahead you saw the black curtains. What is behind the black curtains?
Only one way to find out. Can’t believe I actually walked though the black curtains to the unknown. Yes, I’m happy I DID. 2WickedEastWells was on the other side. Who ever was in charged with the décor for the night, hands down you have talent
. All the sponsors did a great job with their tables. Special shout to Dessert Fantasies, that table was awesome… pumpkin cheesecake gave me life. It was great that I only had one. Well, maybe it was three but who is counting. Harbor Que with the pull pork sliders with coleslaw that bite was everything. Baltimore in a Box… loved the whole idea of sending Baltimore love to your loved on out of state. They had mouthpartycaramels I need not to say any more. but they are Winning. Mother’s Grille never disappoint. Spicy Mac n Cheese, their famous meatballs and grilled chicken was a highlight. Between the drink stations and the ability to raid the fridge everything was awesome. KIND bar were everywhere. Some many different flavors.
I did manage to spend some time out on the patio.
I met so many people new to Unilocal and some it was their first event. They were awwwed. I told them that yes this is a great event and some how Elsa and team out top their selves every time.
I managed to get the tour in. 2EastWells have a lot to offer anyone wanting the downtown scene. They have studios up to two bedroom apartments available for quick move in now. Each apartment come with one free slot of parking. The fourth and fifth floor apartment have ten foot high ceiling. The studio have an option for a divider to separate the bed area. Living here will have almost everything at your finger tips. Work-​out room, community spaces for partying, coffee/​tea bar and so much more.
The roof top view alone is worth the rental price. I love they are been green… the planters house herbs and vegetables. They have recycle for the trash. This is the next step after college or a new start to the city. You can’t go wrong.
One of the top offer is Guest Suite… yes you can reserve the guest suite for friends/​family that are visiting. Currently with high cost of booking a hotel stay this is the best thing ever.
Also 2EastWells have preferred employers to which their employees enjoy a monthly discount off rent.
These events, always give you the opportunity to met new people and catch with the old.
This Monster Mash bought out a lot of people in costumes. I missed the winners but felt there was a hard choice for anyone to make. So many talented Unilocalers with skills. The Chicken Box and the Selfie were my favorites.

Elsa and her friends at 2 E. Wells really brought it for this spooky and fun Halloween extravaganza. Great food from old Unilocal stars like Homeslyce and new friends like the savvy smokers at Harborque. Great beer and a visit from the creative geniuses at Salazon who make artisanal chocolate bars that easily fulfil the demands of the all important cocoa bean food group. Cool aparments, DJ’d tunes and all the cool Baltimore Unilocalers. It was a graveyard smash!

This was my first Unilocal Elite event and it was really fun. I’m an introvert and going to big events can be intimidating, but this was very fun and I thoroughly enjoyed all the samples. I will attend some more events for sure. Elsa was a great hostess and I especially loved her commentary during the costume contest. I would also like to note that the apartment courtyard was nice and very inviting. I didn’t make it on the tours, but it definitely appears to be a nice place to live.
All in all, I enjoyed this event!

Omg the food and drinks were great. The location not hard to find and parking was GOOD. The costumes were very creative and it was nice to see so many people participate. Elsa thanks so much for the elite invite. I HOPE TO BE AN ELITE UnilocalER SOON.

Per usual, Elsa (or should I say Oprah) showered us with food, drinks, goodies, and entertainment galore.
I was excited to check out 2 East Wells because it’s a green building and the rooftop and courtyard looked amazing on their website. They courtyard was a nice as it looked. I sadly didn’t make it on a tour of the property before having to head home to relieve our sitter but I’ll make it a point to do so at a later time.
All the vendors were truly on their A game tonight. Harbor BBQ and Salazon topped the list for me. The sliders with the slaw and their vinegar based sauce were finger licking good. And the Dark Chocolate Gin from Salazon was divine. I loved hearing about who and where they sourced the ingredients for their newest small batch line. I also picked up tips on cutting the Cayenne chocolate with one of the 70% ones and making hot chocolate from them — yum! The sheer number of options from Dessert Fantasties was impressive and they brought mass quantities of everything to appease us hungry Elites. HomeSlyce didn’t disappoint, the spicy chicken bites from Felici were tasty and Cazbar’s chicken is consistently good. I washed everything down with a Golden Ale from Diamondback, which was good except for the lip of the label that just happened to fall at the mouth of the can. First world problems, I know. I walked away with some cool BMore swag from Baltimore box and an Almond & Coconut Kind bar.
I loved seeing everyone’s costumes and was honestly awed at all the Unilocalers creativity. This was a great way to spend a post-​work Wednesday evening and inspiration to step up my costume game this Halloween. Thanks to Elsa, Unilocal and all the vendors!

Elsa and the Unilocal crew has once again brought their «A «game in hosting a wonderful themed event. This time my fellow Unilocalers and myself found us at 2 Wells for Unilocal’s Monster Mash event for Halloween. Upon entering the building, a friendly vampire guided us to parking in the building’s garage.
As we entered the venue, we were greeted by none other than Oprah « Unilocaly» herself (aka Elsa) and those in costume won a car (a toy one, of course) which was to be used as entry into the costume contest towards the end of the evening.
There was great music and food with vendors offering the likes of edible delicacies such as pizza, chicken, sweet treats galore, wine, beer and a host of other wonderful eats. The music was great and the space in the common area of the venue gave way to space in the courtyard, where the party spilled out among the great evening weather.
There were photographers taking photos and tours being given of the building just in case your were looking for an awesome place to live.
As always l had a wonderful time and thanks again to Elsa and crew!
