To most Americans, Lebanon is an ancient country with a complicated religious and political history. It's somewhere "over there," in the Middle East, where Americans don't quite understand the people and aren't sure who is in charge of what.

The Cincinnati neighborhood of Walnut Hills is quickly becoming a popular destination for a wide variety of food and drink.

Whether your company is fully back in the office, working a hybrid schedule or permanently remote, scheduling some time to bond outside of work is always a wise idea.
