A Space for Everyone

"Gators & Gypsies was named in honor of having one side of the venue dedicated to designs & games appealing to men, and the other dedicated to appealing to women. The idea is to have one place where both men and women can enjoy time together and separately, while everyone has a space to feel at home," said Ginny Hendly, owner.
