Hillary Clinton's favorite places to shop on the campaign trail

Small businesses have a special place in Hillary’s heart. Her father owned a drapery company, and, through him, she witnessed the ups and downs that come with small business ownership.

Celebrate Small Business Saturday by checking out some of Hillary’s favorite small businesses from the road.


[font size="5"]Area Kids in Brooklyn, New York: a grandmother’s paradise.[/font] 



This cozy shop in Brooklyn Heights (right down the street from Hillary's campaign headquarters!) has everything a new grandmother could ask for. Hillary picked up a cute, floral romper for Charlotte.



[font size="5"]Popcorn Heaven in Cedar Falls, Iowa: the name says it all.[/font] 



Popcorn Heaven’s specialty? The Iowa mix: a blend of white cheddar, cheese, and caramel-flavored kernels.




[font size="5"]La Flor De Michoacan in Las Vegas, Nevada: ¡helado clásico![/font] 



Their limón ice cream is delightful—Hillary loved it!



[font size="5"]Main Street Cafe in Council Bluffs, Iowa: the perfect cozy coffee shop.[/font] 



One of Hillary's first stops on the trail—and one of her most memorable.



[font size="5"] Sweet Potato Sensations in Detroit, Michigan: home to every single sweet potato dish you can imagine.[/font] 



She tried a bite of everything! Hillary’s favorites were the sweet potato cobbler and the sweet potato cheesecake.



[font size="5"]Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton, New Hampshire: craft beer central.[/font] 



Lots to learn on this brewery tour.



[font size="5"]Kiki’s Chicken and Waffles in Columbia, South Carolina: for the classic Sunday brunch.[/font] 



There’s no question about what to order here.



[font size="5"]Laree’s in Independence, Iowa: filled with favorites.[/font] 



Spotted: a plush toy barn that makes farm noises, on its way to Charlotte.



[font size="5"]Bike Tech in Cedar Falls, Iowa: a one-stop cycling shop.[/font] 



A month into her campaign, Hillary chose Bike Tech to host a roundtable discussion about small businesses.

and the alleged intent of them reminds me of old style campaigning. I think that's what she has a good grip on and is often successful with that method.

Everyone who has knows her says she is very warm in person. These sort of small gatherings bring out the best in her.

I didn't realize she was such an avid biker either. I learn something new every day.

She's not my first choice
But, it's nice to see it wasn't a bait and switch where we're told this is HRC shopping and it's something negative
Thanks again
