Ah the mojito. I rank it pretty high on the boozy summer refreshment list. Not to ignore a good margarita, but the mint in a mojito just cools you right off. Traditional mojitos are made with club soda, mint, lime and white rum. Add rhubarb and now the summer drink edges its way onto the […]

Sunday Morning. The laziest of lazy mornings. After the drudgery of the working all week and the Saturday “gotta get sh*t” done mandate. Sunday is fun day. It’s the day you can have a refreshing cocktail and coffee while ordering breakfast. Now mind you, we are polite and respectable so ordering a fresh squeezed mimosa is the way to go.
Jeremy’s Farm to Table has excellent mimosas. They’re fresh squeezed, handmade to order and they are classic. I paired mine with Jeremy’s gluten free crepes stuffed with peaches then topped with whipped cream. It was breakfast dessert and I loved it!
If salad is your thing, Jeremy’s Caesar is crisp, refreshing with just the right tang of lemon.

“A six-foot tall torch singer with an international cult following, Storm Large and her band Le Bonheur take the stage for a sensational cabaret act. Pink Martini’s genre-defying chanteuse and author of best selling memoir Crazy Enough is “an intoxicating and unmissable cocktail of power and vulnerability” (The Times, UK) equally at home in a dive bar or on stage at Carnegie Hall. With remarkable vibrato that moves from titillating love songs to rock goddess anthems, Large’s performances truly live up to her name.”

The entire family is invited, too. Any hills on the course are very gradual, and the trail itself features more than enough width for two or three people to ride side-by-side.
