Bomba Shack in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, is home to insane Full Moon parties, wild mushroom tea, souvenir undergarments, an ever expanding array of hurricane memorabilia and the ever charismatic owner - Bomba.

Every New Yorker knows of Matthew Silver. Unlike Times Square's The Naked Cowboy, Matthew Silver is actually entertaining.

My daughter Margaux and I were in NYC to check out possible NYU dorms for her first year when we stumbled upon The Great Entertainer in Astor Place. Check him out next time you're in the city (he is normally in Union Square). To find out more, visit his website: <a href="http://www.blogger.com/maninawhitedress.com">Man In A White Dress</a>.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Trillium Haven is the first restaurant venture for Jenison, Michigan farmers Michael VandenBrug and Anja Mast. Here's the review as published on <a href="http://mlive.com/">MLive.com</a> and the Grand Rapids Press:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">The dining scene at any new local restaurant
in Grand Rapids is always entertaining. There is a very good chance that you’ll
recognize a familiar face in the crowd among those lucky enough to get a
table.</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">You acknowledge each other as if
you’re in the first class cabin while you savor the fact that you’re not one of
those “economy-class” diners relegated to beg for the first available table
while standing behind bar patrons as they swirl their luscious glass of Syrah
in your face. We’ve all been there. The lesson</span></div>
<a name='more'></a>here is to call for a reservation
and such is the case with dining at Trillium Haven restaurant.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There was definitely a lot of hype among the
local foodie and organic circles surrounding the opening of Trillium Haven in
Eastown. Most were big supporters of the Jenison, Michigan, CSA (Community
Supported Agriculture) farm where the owners, Michael VandenBrug and Anja Mast,
have been supplying local restaurants and patrons with produce since 2001. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">I made our reservation about ten days prior
to make sure our party of four could be accommodated given the expected
outpouring of support for the restaurant during its opening phase. Our party
included my wife, Elena, and our good friends Jay and Kathy, who accompanied us
on my very first dining review last year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A good friend of ours aptly described the
interior of Trillium as an Anthropologie store without the furnishings and
trinkets. The setting is lofty and loud despite the restaurant’s efforts to
drape the acoustics with two, large, farm-style white sheets that cover<span style="color: red;"> </span>the entire expanse of the feature wall. Warm back bar
lighting invites guests to partake in its farm-to-glass concoctions while the open-kitchen
serves as ground zero for the restaurant’s culinary creations. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A stretch of high-top tables form a communal
table in the center of the dining room for those accustomed to Euro-style
dining quarters or for those who relish on eavesdropping on other diners’ juicy
conversation. A triangular outdoor terrace adds a much needed scenery to this unattractive
stretch of Lake Drive. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Our server Patrick set the tone for what
would be a very pleasant dining experience due to his charismatic skills as a
conversationalist, knowledge of the menu, and unobtrusive style as a server.
Even when tasked with a question he didn’t know (which single malt scotches
were available), he was quick to seek guidance and respond in an intelligible
manner. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He sold us on the specialty cocktails
featuring herbs and vegetables from the farm – the surprisingly refreshing Beet
Margarita ($8.5) and the Berry Mojito ($10) could have used a little dose of
sweetness. I applaud Trillium for its small, yet, well thought of wine list,
which is priced very fairly. We had a bottle of Spanish Rioja that was an
exemplary example of a good Rioja versus the cheap, tongue-slapping Spanish
crap served at most restaurants. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My first impression of the menu is that it was
limited; especially due to the fact that all four of the communal offerings are
room temperature dishes. There are seven entrée selections but beef was
obscurely missing from the list (besides being mixed in with pork on the
meatloaf dish). The pricing on the list is fair except for the $25 meatloaf (second
most expensive item) and the $5 mini desserts. Also, after a month since
opening, I would expect the restaurant would have corrected every misspelling
on the menu.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The highlights of our first courses were the
Classic Kale Caesar ($10), the pickled and roasted Double Beet Salad ($10), and
the Cornbread with house made honey butter ($3) that tasted just like grandma’s
cornbread.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

breadcrumbs in the Caesar that gave every fork full of kale a crunch. The use
of olive oil sardines (instead of anchovies) in a Caesar is a first for me, and
I must admit that it probably won’t be my last. Elena and Kathy found ethereal
satisfaction in every component on the beet salad- from the way the goat cheese
mellowed the smokiness of the pecans to the way the beets mingled harmoniously
with the frissee and honey white balsamic.</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;"> </span></span></div>

more like pizzas for their plump crusts. Regardless of semantics, our entire
table was sold on the house-made fennel Sausage Flatbread ($14) with wilted
kale, caramelized onions, mozzarella and red sauce - which is as good as any
specialty pizza found in Manhattan.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

even finish despite my penchant for salty foods, and the Smoked Whitefish Pate
($9) which garnered mixed reactions from the table. Two members of our group
absolutely loved the pate while the other two were not necessarily impressed
with the muted flavors of the whitefish. I almost choked on a fish bone when I
was a child and visions of that dreary scene came back to me when I saw a long
fish bone in the pate. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">Ask any restaurant owner and chef and they’ll
be the first to tell you that having an open kitchen has its disadvantages;
mainly that your performance is under the watchful eye of every aspiring cook
in the dining room. I marveled at how sous chef Abby Therrien manned the
hotline on this evening along with the assistance of another cook. I lost count
of how many steaming dishes came off that line but they sure made it look as
effortless as possible.</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The best dishes among our entrée selections
were the Fresh Vegetable Lasagna ($16) and the Pastured Lamb Ragu ($25). The free-form
lasagna with farm egg pasta layered with wood-roasted vegetables, melted
mozzarella, goat cheese and a mellow scape pesto was a carnivore’s vegetarian
delight. The lamb ragu with eggplant, okra, tomato fondue and fresh corn
polenta was tender and flavorful which reminded me so much of the lamb tagine
at my favorite Moroccan restaurant in Paris, Le 404.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

time in the oven. The overall dish itself is spectacular in appearance – with
summer vegetables, brown rice, molasses and tamari broth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Panna Cotta ($5). <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

locavores than Michael and Anja – and it’s critical to keep this in mind before
visiting Trillium Haven given the normal expectations from diners in the area.
Anja was making her rounds in the restaurant when she had told our table that
the menu would always evolve to what’s available on the market. In the case of
the beef, they have yet to find a farmer who produces a product that meets
their specifications. You can count on me to order the beef dish when Michael
and Anja have given their stamp of approval to a local farmer. Until then, I’m
happy with the meatloaf. Please pass the ketchup.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

When cruse ships are docked across the street in Havensight Marina, you'll find this buffet restaurant/grocery store packed with Filipino crew members noshing on a wide selection of Filipino food - think kare-kare, binagoongan babboy, adobo, lechon kawali, dinuguuan - and catching up on their Facebook posts. It definitely feels like home - even if it's just for an hour.</div>

It's been several months since I've gorged myself on sushi - which I highly recommend. My hotel colleagues and I couldn't decide on which sushi to start (I love eel, my wife loves tuna, one friend loves salmon and the fourth couldn't care less) so I made a management decision and ordered the sushi boat for the shock and awe appeal. Fortunately, the sushi chef at <a href="http://jusushi.com/">Ju Sushi</a> obliged on our requests and didn't bother to give us the crappy stuff for fillers. Needless to say, we were very content, and despite our food babies, forged ahead with the bento box dinners for our entree courses. YOLO!</div>George Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03759794926920834456noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556274191887103437.post-54482577801338412672012-06-05T23:07:00.002-04:002012-06-05T23:08:08.870-04:00Five Lessons I Learned From The French Lifestyle<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Here is my article as published in Shore Magazine's July 2012 edition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
There is some truth to the saying
that we Americans “Live to Work” and Europeans “Work to Live.” This became very
evident during my family ‘s Spring break trip to Paris this year when we all
noticed significant differences between how we live in the America and how the
Parisians approach the joys of everyday living. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
My family was fortunate enough to
have my mother’s home in central Paris as a base during our nine-day visit.
This granted us a local perspective as we went about our days in the City of
Light. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
The French are by no means perfect.
However, their approach to life seems more focused, or shall I say, less
cluttered, than the lives we live in the states. It became my mission during
this trip to identify some of the variances in our lifestyle;</div>
<a name='more'></a> from the way the
Parisians dress to the manner they enjoy meals.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Joie de Vivre</i></b> – The
French strive to live a very passionate life. They have a keen focus on what’s
important to them and they manage to turn even the smallest things – such as
where to get the best cup of espresso – into an event. In conversation, they
are more interested in your personal interests, such as the books you’re
reading or your lifelong passions, rather than what you do and where you live. They
find great gratification in the art of discovery in a big city.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Honor Thy Baguette and Cheese</i></b>
–Each morning, my wife and I walked to the end of the street where my mother’s
street intersects with rue Montrogueil, the culinary heart of the 2<sup>nd</sup>
arrondissment. Our first ritual is to grab our cups of café crème at one of the
several cafes we love on the street. We would join the line at Boulangerie Les
Petits Carreaux for two crispy baguettes and several pain au chocolat for the
kids; then walk down the street to Le Fermette for our cheese and meat selections
of the day. There were a couple of mornings when we ventured off to Bastille
and Bellville markets for some fresh fruit to compliment our breakfast. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
We’d set the table as soon as we
get home and allow the aromas of the breads and cheeses to wake the kids up.
Waking up to a warm baguette and an array of French cheeses is the one ritual
my family value the most. It signified that we have arrived in Paris and that
every morning will be celebrated at the dining table (and not in a car or on
the go).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It’s Better To Look Your Best
Daily</i></b> – In America, we save our best attires for the most special of
occasions. The French, on the other hand, savor on wearing their best for the
“ordinary” days – whether it is to stroll along the banks of the Seine or take
in the warmth of the sun on a bench in Place des Vosges in the Marais. It is
all about quality over quantity. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
I was having breakfast at Café du
Centre with my hairdresser friend, Sin, when he pointed out that Parisian women
“were packaged perfectly.” Sin added, “Their hairstyles (women) were done
naturally without spending so much time on primping and styling. “ The
Parisians were not as consumed about spending so much time “on getting ready”
as Americans. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Converse During Meals</i></b> – Meals
are considered sacred in France; whether it’s in a Michelin star restaurant or
dinner at home. It’s an event where each bite is to be relished, and more
importantly, one’s time is to be focused on each other. Texting or talking on
the phone during meals is considered rude and it was noticeably observed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
My wife and I made it a ritual to
enjoy “happy hour” at one of the bars on rue Montorgueil before taking the
family out to dinner. We observed that the younger workers, even during this
post workday practice, did not divulge in technology distractions, and mainly
focused on the conversation at hand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Enjoying the Simple Pleasures</i></b>
– I couldn’t wait to spread creamy, salted French country butter on a baguette
on my first morning in Paris. I can say that the French find true pleasure in
simple things most of us take for granted. In Jardin du Luxembourg, Parisians
took advantage of the spring weather to bathe in the warm sunshine during their
lunch break. Elderly Parisians gathered on one end of the park for a game of
boules. Lovers sneak a kiss beyond the shadows of the Medici Fountain. Parisians
walk a lot, both out of necessity and the sheer enjoyment of discovering the
best of everything – from macaroons at Luduree to the hot chocolate at Fauchon. <o:p></o:p></div>George Aquinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03759794926920834456noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556274191887103437.post-36221418672372873462012-06-05T20:19:00.002-04:002012-06-05T20:19:46.619-04:00Springtime in Paris<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

One of the most charming markets in Paris is the Marche Aux Oiseaux (Plants and Bird Market). The location itself is in the heart of the city on Ile de la Cite where Notre Dame is located. This year round plant market is a must for orchid lovers. However, Sunday's gives you the best experience when the square also hosts the weekly bird market. This is a must for the kids.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I have an affinity for the<a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/StThomas/Default.htm"> Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas</a>. This is where my new bride and I spent part of our honeymoon 19 years ago, when it just opened as The Grand Palazzo. While there are a lot of physical changes to the resort (Ritz Club, larger fitness area, seaside pavilions), the views and the feel of the place is still uniquely The Grand Palazzo.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">For a late-night person, I never regret getting up right before sunrise to capture the best light for photography. Most of these shots were taken around 6:30 a.m. except for the next shot which I took at sunset. There is something magical about a place at this time of the day.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />

The Burough Market on the backside of London Bridge is a must stop if your travel brings you to London. I wandered through the stalls for a couple of hours; sampling lots freebies from local artisans and global purveyors. I finally settled for the "Toastie" grilled cheese sandwich that was irresistible.<br />
<br />
Aside from being a foodie heaven, the market is a photographers paradise. So bring your camera and snap away. You<br />
<a name='more'></a> have to be conscious though that some vendors don't like their photos taken. That's what a zoom lens is for. Enjoy.<br />

</tbody></table>This is one of my go-to restaurants in central London. A perfect stop after a day of shopping in Covent Garden. If you love home-style mussels, then this is the place. Belgo is like going to church without having to sit through a boring<br />
<a name='more'></a> sermon. Servers wear monk robes and serve flights of the best beers in the world.<br />
<br />
Don't miss the communal toilets with a huge circular hand sink and foot pedals to turn on the water.<br />
