Get To Know The Four Hundred Team

Every month is a good month to practice gratitude for all the great things in our lives. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we wanted to highlight some of the travel and hospitality team members that we are privileged to work with day in and day out. Four Hundred would not be successful nor would we able to make the impossible, possible without everyone's hard work and dedication. Take a look below to find out a little bit about our team members and how they spend their Thanksgiving holiday!

Meet Lace Miller

Hi! My name is Lace, Head of Dining here at Four Hundred.

My family and I have a tradition of eating raviolis on Thanksgiving. I grew up in a very Italian American household, so no one really cares about turkey. It’s more about who’s going into the city and getting raviolis, good bread, and bringing them down to my mom's house in New Jersey. What I love most about the holidays is cooking, traditions that remind me of my grandparents, and playing holiday music like Bing Crosby, Brenda Lee, and Frank Sinatra. Fun fact, one year I left the raviolis in my freezer and forgot to bring them down. Let's just say, I'll never be forgiven.“ 

Meet Lauren Barbaro

My name is Lauren, and I am a Travel Coordinator here at Four Hundred!

I am originally from Alabama, and recently just relocated to Nashville, Tennessee!

Every year for Thanksgiving, we either travel to my extended family in Boston or enjoy time at Lake Martin. My family has a relaxed tradition including a large traditional meal for lunch and watching football!

Meet Elena Speake

Hi! My name is Elena Speake and I am a Hospitality Consultant here at Four Hundred.

I love the holidays and spending time with my family back home in Kansas City! We have family in South Bend, IN that we’re usually visiting during this time, but this year we are doing Thanksgiving back in KC. My favorite Thanksgiving dish is Green Bean Casserole, which my whole family knows to always make an extra – one for me and one for everyone else! Part of the holiday that I enjoy is watching all of the football games on Thanksgiving Day. Nothing better than family, food, and football! 

Meet Sophia Lombreglia

My name is Sophia Lombreglia and I’m a Travel Consultant at Four Hundred!

I’m from the Boston area, so growing up the holiday season was always introduced by classic Autumnal foliage, followed soon by chilly city streets lined with twinkling trees. It’s common to picture downtown when thinking of the city, but Cambridge – on the other side of the Charles River – is a great spot for an especially cozy Thanksgiving weekend.

Cambridge is simultaneously urban and residential, and I think the local architecture is the perfect canvas for the changing color of the leaves. Harvard Square is of course famous for its namesake university and has plenty of charm both within and outside Harvard Yard; there are numerous quaint streets with cafes, bookshops, and boutiques to explore. Dinner at a local favorite such as Giulia or Alden & Harlow, followed by hot chocolate from L.A. Burdick and a walk around the square is one of my favorite ways to wrap up a Thanksgiving trip home before returning to NYC!
