Bahama Breeze Blogger’s Tasting
I’m always giddy when I get invites to events and screenings from unfamiliar PR Agencies; because it means what little I understand and try to make happen in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is working! Last week the Caribbean influenced chain restaurant Bahama Breeze Island Grille invited food writers to come and sip their two new Legendary Island Cocktails: The pink drink Yaka Hula Hickey Dula, named after a Hawaiian love song, features pineapple juice blended with Meyers’ Dark and Bacardi 151 – This drink was a bit strong for me, the bartender told me to stir it some more to bring out the flavors of the juice, but…

Guest Blogger: 18th Annual Critics Choice Awards Round Up
I had a great time posting stuff to facebook and twitter during the Golden Globe red carpet and awards! Check out both platforms for Tinsel & Tine’s thoughts on the show! My friend and guest blogger Candace Smith likes to tweet during awards shows too, when I saw her comments on The Critics Choice Awards, I asked her if she’d write a Round Up post on the show for Tinsel &Tine, and she had plenty to impart: The People’s Choice Awards aired on Wednesday, kicking off the start to the 2013 awards season for the entertainment industry. However, I believe that the Critics’ Choice Awards truly kick off the season,…

Très Bon: Les Misérables (Golden Globe Nominated)
It’s hard for me to remember a time when the song “Do You Hear The People Sing” has not been among the top rotation of songs that just constantly live in my head. I’m not very political and I’m far too afraid of being arrested to ever actually participate in a sit in; nonetheless, I have a fantasy about taking a stand for some injustice and just when defeat seems imminent and those that stand with me seem about to cave, I break out loud and clear with: (see video below) The truth of the matter, I, like so many others have listened to Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil‘s score…

Philly Dining: MAGPIE
Magpie is an artisan pie shop that opened this past August at 1622 South Street. This area of South Street has really gentrified, I’ve been dying to also visit The Cambridge , Pumpkin, and Rex 1516 . Holly Owner (former Graphic Designer) Holly Ricciardi says she decided to open Magpie in this city because we need it. “I love Philly,” says Ricciardi. “It’s wonderful. It’s a big foodie town. I thought if I’m going to do this, I want to open it up in the city because city life is a little rough and people need a little country in their lives to feel comfort and love.” – READ MORE…

Holiday Treat: Rise of the Guardians
I do enjoy the concept of the TV show Once Upon A Time, which expands the personalities and back-story’s of fairytale and legendary characters. This season even goes so far as to have Snow White and Sir Lancelot be old friends and Mulan is quite familiar with Rumpelstiltskin. What I don’t like about “Once” is simple – it’s poorly written. The plots never really grab you or make very good use of these fabled, beloved heroes, heroines, villains and creatures. Going into Rise of the Guardians I expected to feel pretty much the same, as this story brings together Santa Claus/North (Alec Baldwin), The Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), The Sandman…
