Philadelphia Eagles, Pretzels & Beer. Oh My!
Ayo! Fahgettaboudit!... I am a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan! So they will make their way on here from time to time. Confession: Okay. I'm a Philly Sports fan supporting all home teams including Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and the Flyers.
Whattaya want yo! I'm from South Philly, capiche! Where there's always good food, people and beer for the game. Ahh, nothing like wings & beer to kick off a great game. My choice is: Corona Extra with a lime. Simple. Brewed since 1925, it's been the best selling Mexican beer for 15 years in a row. Unmistakable flavor, color & bottle. Goes great with a philly pretzel yo. La cerveza mas fina!
Oh, smashed the Giants in a 38-31 comeback victory. Eh. I'm happy.
Olive Not Included...
Few cocktails boast style & sophistication by name such as a Dry Martini. The cocktail concoction may invoke images of the suave and sexy fictional character James Bond 007, who specifically ordered his "shaken, not stirred." These martini goblets are the perfect match to the bold flavored cocktail.
I love the colors and contours. Flashy. Modern. Vibrant. They "scream" that the contents in this glass are not to be taken lightly. And neither is the owner.

Boardwalk Empire
It's funny how all things alcohol pop out at me now like a Chambord advertisement on the back of a bus, or an article in Metro Philly on the top spirits gifts of the season including Medea Vodka & Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia. It's no different than my latest addiction, HBO's new hit show Boardwalk Empire. The show is set in 1920s Atlantic City, at the dawn of Prohibition, when the sale of alcohol became illegal throughout America. Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi) is part gangster, part politician and the person to see when it comes to the illegal sale of alcohol. Into just one season now and I am hooked. Aside from the illegal aspects of Nucky's career, I admire his hustle and we definitely have much in common. *Wink*Center City Bridal Show

What's a Bartender doing at a Bridal Showcase? Networking! Many brides have been opting out of the cookie cutter open bar reception & having a more personalized approach to cocktails.
Offering everything from signature drinks, to customized shot glass favors, I've even personalized "pimp cups" for one of my younger bride's wedding party and reception table. Think outside the Hello L♥ver!
Just like Sarah Jessica Parker's character 'Carrie Bradshaw' (S.A.T.C.) squeals for heels, I squeal for the party! And a great cocktail! Okay, I squeal for heels too, but that's another story. I love it when a plan comes together from idea, to implementing unique ideas, to an awesome event that keeps people talking (positively) for days afterwards. As a Professional Bridal Consultant, I've experienced this in the wedding industry. Now, as a Professional Bartender, I find myself with a more modern, stylish and chic crowd, and I am anticipate the challenges of planning their perfect party! *Cheers*
