Ice Cream Bar: Adult Ice Cream and Sorbet
It’s 5 pm somewhere on a hot afternoon. You want something cool and sweet like ice cream, but you also want a drink. Now you don’t have to choose. Introducing The Ice Cream Bar, adult ice cream and sorbet. From the creators of Frozen Pints, the treats were inspired by classic cocktails and modern mixology, […]

Frozen Pints: Craft Beer Ice Cream
A new Atlanta-based company is inviting you to have your beer and drink it too. Introducing Frozen Pints, a cool treat that combines two favorites: ice cream and craft beer.

Burger Bar in Miami Beach does just that. Executive Chef Govind Armstrong (best known in SoBe as […]
Dining at the Fontainebleau: Gotham Steak
The Fontainebleau Miami Beach has a restaurant for every taste. My pick for best all-around restaurant is Gotham Steak, located in the Chateau section of the resort. It’s by Alfred Portale, chef and owner of Gotham Bar and Grill in New York City. I was a bit hesitant to try it — one thing Miami […]
Strolling on the Ile Saint-Louis
It’s in the middle of Paris, yet many visitors I’ve spoken with say they’re not familiar with it. The Ile Saint-Louis is a small island in the Seine right next to the Ile de la Cite. To get there, walk around the back of Notre Dame and you’ll see a small bridge connecting the two […]
