Known for its spiked cereal milk cocktails where they drain cereal milk overnight then spike it, the bar’s signature cocktails are the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and spiced rum, Honey Nut Cheerios and bourbon, and Cocoa Puffs and vanilla vodka. Former Spago chef Greg Schroeppel designed the breakfast menu and everything, from the gravy to the biscuits, is made from scratch.Stop and smell the rare flowersSpencer Falls parks his vintage Volkswagen van outside popular Venice hangouts to sell rare, robust flowers arranged in “unruly and beautiful” bouquets. Raised on a New Zealand orchard, Falls said he never expected flowers to become a career, but The Unlikely Florist took off and he’s been having fun with bunches of South African Proteas, Australian Banksias, and local farmers’ flowers ever since. Falls launched The Unlikely Florist’s headquarters at 715 Hampton Drive, a 2,000-square-foot art warehouse space, available by appointment only for arrangements of all shapes and sizes.Sip libations underground at Venice’s oldest barEstablished in 1915, The Del Monte was a basement-level speakeasy during Prohibition and served notorious characters using a streel-level grocery store as a cover.

The Flower Shop Is Now Serving Dried-Rose Cocktails On Eldridge Street - Bedford + Bowery

The bar serves up cocktails like an old-fashioned made with cardamom-infused bourbon and a vodka-cranberry drink served with a dried rose.Downstairs is where the party’s really at. The lower level can only be described as a seriously authentic man cave, complete with a pool table, jukebox, another bar, and a pink double-sided fireplace. “We wanted the downstairs to feel like a bar or pub, but also like someone’s basement,” said Dylan Hales, a co-owner who is also partner in the Randolph bars. (Among his partners in this endeavor are William Tisch and Dave Turner, both of whom were previously with the company that owns Dirty French, Parm, and others. William’s father Steve Tisch, owner of the New York Giants, is said to be an investor along with Tony Hawk.)Plush orange carpeting definitely gives the place a relaxing vibe that’ll resonate with anyone who grew up in the suburbs stealing bottles out of dad’s liquor cabinet and playing pool while rocking out to Pearl Jam. This is good ol’ American fun with just a touch of beef tartare and smoked celery root.

With Bryan Clauson in mind, Zeb Wise wins the second BC 39 - Indianapolis Star

Tyler Kraft Indianapolis Star Published 9:49 AM EDT Sep 6, 2019 In between photos, Zeb Wise bent his head and took a deep breath.  The 16-year-old gripped the Driven2SaveLives BC 39 trophy as another wave of family, friends and team members swarmed the stage in the middle of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dirt track. Then he was back again, smiling with a wreath of red flowers around his neck and a check for $15,000 in hand. This race means more to Wise than most.

America in Bloom judges coming to Mansfield - Mansfield News Journal

This year's judges will be Linda Cromer and Tim France, according to America in Bloom.  Cromer has served her community, Greendale, Indiana, in a variety of political positions including planning commissioner, chairwoman of the park board and tree board and housing authority commissioner. She sits on the executive boards and plays an active role in the efforts of several national and state non-profit organizations dedicated to social justice and environmental issues. Cromer, who received a fine arts education at the University of Kansas, learned to love gardening at her grandmother’s knee. Owner and operator of a floral shop and greenhouse for over a decade, she has spent the bulk of her professional life traveling as an international representative for a labor organization and has used those travel opportunities to audit design and horticulture classes at a number of universities, and to study the diversity and individuality of public gardens and the communities where they are located. She is past president and active member of the local Garden Club and spearheaded her community’s first participation in the America in Bloom Program in 2005. France has been serving as the Coshocton Municipal Court judge since 2006, currently serving his third six-year term. He has been involved with the community in various capacities, including serving on the board for Coshocton Community Housing, which provides homes for people with developmental disabilities. He is president of Coshocton is Blooming, a non-profit board established to participate in America in Bloom. His talent for planting and nurturing flowers began about 20 years ago, when his daughter’s junior high track boosters raised money by planting flowers in the 30 downtown planters. The planters were planted in May and were dead by July. He realized that someone needed to take more responsibility, so he hauled water in the back of his truck to keep the plants alive all summer. Still, they were not thriving. The next year, he convinced the local Rotary Club to donate different flowers and the City of Coshocton to allow usage of spigots and city water. He completed the Master Gardener program through the Ohio State University Extension Office. He has personally designed and planted the courthouse and city flowerbeds and helped Coshocton is Blooming obtain planters for every intersection in the city, according to America in Bloom. Finally, he piloted a program to replace the old containers on Main Street to enhance the architecture of the city buildings. The planters have grown from 30 to more than 400, including 96 hanging baskets. To date, more than 250 communities from 45 states have participated in the program and more than 22 million people have been touched by it. Awards will be announced Oct. 3-5 at AIB’s National Symposium & Awards Celebration, this year in St. Charles, Illinois.

They’re priced by the stem.Afterward, they wrap the bouquet up for you and send you on your way.It’s usually set up on Saturday mornings on Wayne Street in downtown Fort Wayne.The business is owned by Emma, but it is really a family affair.“At the end of the day, they really help me so much and I really couldn’t do it without them, seriously. So, I’m really thankful for my family,” Emma proclaimed.The family got the idea when they saw a flower truck in Nashville. They decided to bring the idea back to Fort Wayne.Emma said that it’s meant to help her pay for her nursing courses at the University of Saint Francis, but it has another purpose.“A lot of people say ‘this just makes me so happy,’ and that’s just really what we want.

Pumas duo score 22 points in victory over Flowers in Summer Madness play - The Prince George's Sentinel

Basketball League action between CH Flowers HS and Wise HS in Largo, Maryland. Photos by Chris Thompkins/Prince Georges SentinelAccording to the transfer, he already has two scholarship offers from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Rhode Island University with other schools expressing interest. However, Thomas said he does not allow it to get to his head and is focused on finding ways to get to bond his new teammates.“I just like to play,” said Thomas. “But I try to find a way to bond with the team off the court, like we got group chats, FaceTime each other, and we play video games together. Just the little things like that help. I like my teammates and my coaching staff, they let me hoop and that’s all I really have to do.”The second half featured much of the same rhythm with Wise taking charge. Frager continued to orchestrate the offense, pushing the ball in transition for easy buckets and made big defensive plays of his end.Meanwhile, Flowers attempted a comeback but Brooks could not convert many of his shots during the second half. Jase Mosley, a rising sophomore for the Jaguars, tried to carry the load with two 3-pointers late in the contest, finishing with 10 points.Unfortunately, the Pumas’ lead was too much for their 4A rivals to handle during their summer league encounter.After finishing their first season with Head Coach Lou Wilson with 17 wins, the Pumas will be looking to surpass their third round exit in the state playoffs and become a contender in the 4A division.“I think we have the potential to be a real solid ball club,” said DeBerry. “I think a lot is going to depend on how we progress from this point going forward. The season is a long way ahead, a lot of things can happen, good or bad but I like where we are right now as a team.” Post Views: 264 ... https://pgs.thesentinel.com/2019/06/19/pumas-duo-score-22-points-in-victory-over-flowers-in-summer-madness-play/
