Candi’s Corner: Doc Diana Vreeland: THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL
I was hoping before posting Candace’s review of Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel, that I would have a chance to see the film/doc and add in my own two cents. But it’s two weeks later and I still didn’t get to see it. Not a problem, as Candi’s Corner once again did such an in depth review, my two cents aren’t necessary. =============================================================== I couldn’t quite remember how I came to hear about Diana Vreeland until two days after seeing her granddaughter in law’s film based on Vreeland’s life story. It was through Andre Leon Talley, who for the Millennial Generation knows him from his appearances on MTV’s…

Lancaster Restaurant: Gibraltar with James
Was it too soon in the relationship to go away for the weekend? I didn’t think so at the time, but part of our problem was we simply rushed too quickly into calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend, the immediate “relationship status” became too fraught with expectations. Mount Hope Estate and Winery Nonetheless, it was a lovely weekend in Lancaster PA, we did some shopping (not as much as I would have liked) we bought wine, drove around spotting Amish buggies and of course spent quality time at our B&B. We also dined at a surprisingly upscale restaurant called Gibraltar (College Square 931 Harrisburg Ave Lancaster, PA 17603) which specializes…

Collaborate Philly Features: Tinsel & Tine (Why I started blogging)
I did a profile piece on the new Philadelphia based Social Media Site Collaborate Philly (click for post) in August, and now they’ve returned the favor and interviewed me about Tinsel & Tine … For the fourth installment of our spotlight on local websites series, we decided to feature local film and food website Tinsel & Tine founded by Le Anne Lindsay. Philly has a great film community. And as Katie Briggs talked about in our last installment, Philly is also a foodie town, too. It only makes sense to come across a site, which happily marries the two. And when I say “happily” I mean happily. Le Anne loves what…

Hotel Monaco Looks Exciting!
While making my way to Ritz East during the 21st Philadelphia Film Festival. (my film fest posts aren’t up yet, but be sure to follow my @phillyfilmfest tweets) I was suddenly struck by the tantalizing sight of a new boutique hotel and dining establishments. I can’t even recall what used to be on the corner of 5th & Chestnut? But now it’s the Hotel Monaco featuring The Red Owl Tavern and Stratus Rooftop, and I can’t wait to be up in both! The line for the rooftop was insane last night! Here’s a rundown tweeted earlier this month from uwishunu: The opening of The Hotel Monaco Philadelphia on Independence Mall is…
