Restaurant owners across the state got the news they were hoping for, and are gearing up to welcome guests back and get the drinks flowing again. </span></div>

He discussed how young students have missed their friends, social events, and sporting events, and how high school seniors are having to get creative in how they experience their proms and graduations. He dove into the very real struggle that many families are facing daily: trying to homeschool kids, keep food on the table, apply for unemployment, and adjust to a new schedule and routine that we weren't expecting and we didn’t ask for.</span></div>

He explained that the process to reopen the state starts with the “small, deliberate, methodical steps based on consultation with the greatest physicians.” He explained that every phase of reopening will be safe, smart, and step by step. The reopening will happen on May 4th and will exclude Broward. Miami Dade, and Palm Beach counties. </span></div>

This is a small step, and some neighborhood restaurants will have to get creative in their seating arrangements. But it is a safe and deliberate step that gets restaurants moving again, allows members of the community to start connecting again, gets money moving through the economy, and gives servers and other restaurant employees a chance to start making money again. </span></div>

Maybe it's because of the close proximity bar patrons have with each other when sitting together at a bar, Governor Desantis didn’t explain his reasoning behind why bars have to wait a little longer to reopen. Although it's not ideal, bar owners will have to wait for just a little longer to start slinging drinks and hosting happy hours again. </span></div>

He plans to look at the data day by day, hour by hour, and make informed decisions that will keep our population healthy while also getting our economy back up and running.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The Doral-based cruise line also brews, cans and kegs its own beer in partnership with Brew Hub of Lakeland, said Vance Gulliksen, a Carnival spokesman.</div>

In just a few months, Fort Myers Beach will never look the same again.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
What is now a mostly vacant lot will soon transform into the Fort Myers Beach Margaritaville Resort—a 254-room hotel with a beach club, shops and more.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
Two lawsuits had delayed construction on the new resort, but now that they’ve both been resolved, “that means you’ll see demolition of existing structures and construction of the new project starting sometime right after the first of the year,” says Margaritaville Spokesperson John Gucciard.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
That’s good news for businesses like On The Sand. Employee Judy Ann Liot says they expect even more customers at their gift shop.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
“Whether they’re locals, from different parts of Florida, from Europe, from Canada—it’s all going to be very, very well received,” said Liot.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
Vacationers Cherri Cox and Pam Brienza say no doubt people will want to come in and have “cheeseburgers in paradise” or get “wasted away in Margaritaville.” It’ll also bring a whole new attraction to Fort Myers Beach.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
“You have more hotels, you’re not calling and saying, ‘Oh, we’re booked,'” said Brienza.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
“It’s going to bring a lot of business to this area and if the hotel rooms are really expensive, it’s definitely going to bring a lot of money to the mom-and-pop shops,” added Cox.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
So what’s next for the coming resort?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
As they finish up the legal process on the project, there are also plans in the works to build employee housing, a hotel and extra parking offsite. Developers will meet with the hearing examiner at the end of the month.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
They hope to open the hotel in 2022.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">“The first legal case is a Writ of Certiorari,” Gucciardo explained. “This is a court process that seeks a judicial review of a decision from a lower court or administrative agency; in this case, the Town, claiming it did not have the right to approve the Margaritaville project. We expect this decision in the very near future. The other is the Civil Action case that will most likely come to trial in November. Unfortunately, I do not see any way around that, as they do not want us to build the resort and we feel we have every right to, based on two unanimous Town Council votes and the Local Planning Agency majority decision, so there is no room for compromise.”</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Forty-eight hours later, everything had changed, with the Town announcing that Patton dropped her Civil Action against the Town! So what happened? “You have to ask the plaintiff,” said an obviously happy Gucciardo! “We were ready to proceed with the Town over the Civil Trial and felt we were up to the challenge, but dropping it is the much preferred alternative. With the Writ of Certiorari already on the judge’s desk, in which we anticipate a favorable outcome, Margaritaville can move ahead in a much more rapid fashion than we hoped just a few days ago, because it is possible for a Civil Case and appeal to drag out as much as 18 months. Now groundbreaking may be as soon as the start of 2020, so this chops anywhere from 9 months to one year off the start of construction!”</span><br />

If you were looking for a category of Florida’s more mixed up laws, put beer, wine and liquor sales at the top of your list. Hectic, archaic or downright dumb make good modifiers.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
This is especially true for the state’s budding business of craft beers and spirits. While it might be expected the state would cast a friendly eye on this new generation of small business entrepreneurs, that doesn’t seem to be the case.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
We think it’s fair to say that in the next few years if nothing changes, it will be easier to buy a joint at a St. Augustine business than a drink on premise at a distillery.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
That’s been a sticking point for Philip McDaniel, CEO and co-founder of the St. Augustine Distillery on Riberia Street downtown. The business is so popular trailer trains include it on their rounds. But McDaniel operates in a kind of 80-proof twilight zone.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
He can’t grow his business because of a 65,000-gallon limit on production. And the paperwork to keep track of that is mind-numbing. He can’t sell more than six bottles to any one customer. Visitors ask him to ship them bottles, but by law, he can’t ship his product.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
And he’s not allowed to serve his product on premise. If you’re wondering what he can do with his product, you get it. How would restrictions such as these play out in your business?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
A bill seeking to remedy some of these silly restrictions made it through Florida’s House in this year’s session, but got tied up in the Senate.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
Our own Sen. Travis Hutson took notice, McDaniel said, and has filed SB 138 to be heard in 2020 session — opening this year in January, not March (but that’s another editorial). Hutson’s bill takes on some of these inequities and also pares down some legislation on wine sales.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: #232323; font-family: "Crimson Text", Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 17.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">
It would change a recent law called “Merlot to go” that allows patrons of a restaurant to take home a partly consumed bottled of wine, but only if it was consumed with a “full-course meal, consisting of a salad or vegetable, entrée a beverage and bread,” according to the law.” It does not specify rye, wheat or white, so...<a href="https://www.staugustine.com/opinion/20190828/record-editorial--hutson-bill-distills-regulation-down-to-palatable" target="_blank">Continue Reading</a></div>

Here are a few of the developments a busy operator might have missed.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1f2123; font-family: Droid Serif, Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(31, 33, 35);"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 20.25px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">New Jersey sets higher liabilities in wage dispute</span></h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(31, 33, 35); color: #1f2123; font-family: "Droid Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.25px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Restaurants accused of underpaying servers or supervisors will face higher potential penalties under a law that was quietly passed this month in the Garden State. If authorities decide that a server should have been paid a full wage instead of the lower amount allowed under tip-credit regulations, or a salaried employee is adjudged to be entitled to overtime pay, restaurateurs can now be required to pay the wages that were owed, plus damages equal to 200% of the underpayment, a fine of $500 and 20% of the wages owed, and an administrative fee of $250. The fines increase for second-time offenders. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(31, 33, 35); color: #1f2123; font-family: "Droid Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.25px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Those amounts are set for civil disputes. The Wage Theft Act also exposes employers to criminal charges of disorderly behavior, a charge that carries financial penalties of $500 to $1,000 and possibly up to 100 days in jail.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(31, 33, 35); color: #1f2123; font-family: "Droid Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.25px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">

The only rebuttal, according to the law, is “</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">clear and convincing evidence that the action was taken for other, permissible, reasons.”</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The measure also extends the statute of limitations on wage disputes to six years, from the current cap of two years.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(31, 33, 35); color: #1f2123; font-family: "Droid Serif", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.25px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">

Serving the best food in the world doesn’t always mean a full restaurant every night if no one knows just how good your food is. Sometimes you need to do a little extra promotion to attract more customers to your restaurant. Once they’re inside and trying your food, they’ll keep coming back time and time again.</div>
<br />
<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
ATTRACT MORE CUSTOMERS TO YOUR RESTAURANT</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
The easy part is making them fall in love with your food. However, we need to get those people in the door first in order for that to happen. </div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here are a few fun and efficient ways to get more customers in your restaurant in order for you to build a loyal following. </div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
LEAVE SMART FLYERS</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don’t waste your time and money on a generic flyer with every special, event and picture you can fit on it only to leave it out hoping people find it, actually read it and convert into a customer. Just distributing your menu doesn’t cut it anymore.</div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead, distribute what we call a “smart flyer” to attract more customers to your restaurant. A small, targeted flyer with one simple message and promotion. Make sure your offer lasts at least a month so that people can find the time to actually use it. What offer you use is up to you. If you’re including a coupon, give at least 20% off. You can also try giving away free appetizers or desserts.</div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
You definitely don’t want to annoy people with your flyers. Distributing them weekly will annoy your customer base and make them less likely to visit your restaurant. Also, most flyers left under windshields will end up in the garbage. Present your restaurant in a professional way and you’ll see the benefits.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
CREATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Start conversations with local businesses in your area. Many of them get catering for special lunches or meetings on a regular basis. Offer them a discount so that they order from you and make sure that you hand them your full menu in person.</div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
This can create an ongoing revenue stream for your restaurant to increase your bottom line every month.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
OFFER DISCOUNTS (20% OFF, 2 FOR 1…)</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Giving people an extra incentive to try your restaurant for the first time is a great way to turn them into loyal customers. Usually an offer of at least 20% off is good enough. You can also try 2 for 1 deals, free appetizers and anything else you can think of that would bring more people into your restaurant.<a href="https://restaurantden.com/attract-customers-to-your-restaurant/" target="_blank">Continue Reading</a></div>

<b style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">WINTER PARK, Fla. —</b> An unprecedented meeting brought distillers from all over the state — from Jacksonville down to the Keys — to Winter Park on Wednesday, hoping to craft a unified message to bring to Tallahassee.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Distillers across state came together to create Florida Craft Spirits Guild</b></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">This is in response to state's restrictions on spirts, beer, the group says</b></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.4px;">"This is the biggest meeting of craft distillers in the history of Florida," said Paul Twyford,</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.4px;"> </span><b style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; letter-spacing: 0.4px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Winter Park Distilling Company's</u></b><span style="letter-spacing: 0.4px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.4px;">co-founder. "We want to have an environment where we have the ability to grow our businesses, to hire more people and create more consumer choice."</span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In 2010, Twyford and Andrew Asher began making distilled spirits, vodka, and whiskey. A year later, the pair got into the distilled spirits market. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
It was the first "legitimate" whiskey distillery in Orange County, Twyford said with a chuckle. "This is a labor of love."</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Asher recalled how it all came about.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
"We were sitting around over lunch thinking about how much we like to drink distilled spirits. 'Wouldn't it be cool to make them as well?'" remembered Asher. "It's something we could put our hands on. It's tangible and (we could) say, 'We made this.'"</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Asher, an attorney by trade, said that his background has come in handy in navigating the "maze of regulations" when it comes to the industry.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Liquor in Florida is tightly regulated. You have to have a license to make it and a license to sell it. If you own a bar, restaurant, or liquor store, you have to have a vendor's license.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
And in between the manufacturing and selling — to those licensed to sell to the general public — is a layer called "distribution," which is also licensed, Asher said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
He said that although businesses can procure a full liquor license, which in Orange County can run upwards of $250,000 to $300,000, those are not available to those who manufacture spirits at the same time. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In 2016, the pair branched out and founded their <b style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Bear and Peacock brewery</u></b>, making and serving craft beer alongside the distilling company, where they created whiskey, bourbon whiskey, vodka, and rum.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Their two businesses were brought under one roof and one name: the Brewstillery.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px; padding-top: 15px; word-wrap: break-word;">
But the rules that govern the brewery and distillery are very different. While customers can saddle up to the long, wooden bar and order a pint, they cannot order a cocktail made with their house rum or vodka. Instead, they can only ask for free samples of the spirits at a small gift shop window; a glass wall and doors separate the transactions. </div>

Last year, 33-year-old Jonny Coffman was told he had less than a year to live.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="2" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"Three to 12 months realistically," he said. "They said, 'We would be shocked if you saw 2019.'"</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="3" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
A brand ambassador for Goose Island Beer Company, Coffman was battling metastatic melanoma. At Lurie Cancer Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Coffman tried a new immunotherapy drug and underwent radiation.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="4" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"Unfortunately, one of the side effects is its impact on his taste buds," said Dr. Sunandana Chandra, Coffman’s oncologist at Lurie Cancer Center.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="5" style="color: #444444; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"I have never eaten cement, but I can imagine that’s what it would taste like," Coffman said. "Anything, pizza, steak, mac & cheese — it tasted the exact same."</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="6" style="color: #444444; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
The beer lover couldn’t taste a thing for months, until one morning when he mixed oatmeal with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, mangos and honey.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="7" style="color: #444444; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"I could taste the cinnamon first, then the juiciness of the mangos and the honey. It was love at first bite,” Coffman said.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="8" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
Coffman was so excited about his breakfast concoction because he could actually taste it. But he also had a bigger idea, to brew it as Goose island’s first hazy IPA.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="9" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"It’s the hot style. We’ve never made one and Jonny loves them, so of course we were going to accommodate," said Todd Ahsmann, president of Goose Island Beer Company.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="10" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
Coffman worked with the Goose Island Brewmasters and came up with "Lost Palate."</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="11" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
The canned beer is being sold in the Goose Island Tap Room with some of the proceeds going to the Lurie Cancer Center.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="12" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"Emotional...emotional because it was something I ever thought if it did happen, maybe brew a two barrel batch of it," Coffman said of the beer being made in his honor.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="13" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
Since then, two amazing things happened: the immunotherapy drug worked, leaving Coffman cancer-free and "Lost Palate" is set to launch nationwide. </div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="14" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"We decided the beer turned out so good and Jonny’s health is back, so we are going to launch it nationally come the beginning of the year and continue to donate proceeds to the Lurie Cancer center," Ahsmann said. </div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="15" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">
"People are drinking it in Chicago, liking it, and now when I see people, they can smile and be happy because I’m cancer-free," Coffman said.</div>
<div class="paragraph" data-pnum="15" style="color: #444444; font-family: Arimo, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.063em; line-height: 26px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin-left: 32px; margin-right: 16px; margin-top: 26px;">

<img alt="Facebook to Expand Restrictions on Sales of Alcohol Primary Image" class=" lazyloaded" data-src="//images.ctfassets.net/qe08557i7rmu/36hTTJNEjZnUm2oUSmAD0P/bd8310612b2cdfc0c95d7e3ef75d7c58/Facebook-Alcohol.jpg?w=1600&fm=jpg&fl=progressive" height="332" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/qe08557i7rmu/36hTTJNEjZnUm2oUSmAD0P/bd8310612b2cdfc0c95d7e3ef75d7c58/Facebook-Alcohol.jpg?w=1600&fm=jpg&fl=progressive" width="640" /><br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
Much to the surprise and likely disappointment to the countless beer trading groups that are active on Facebook, the social media company announced earlier today that it had updated its policies to prohibit the sale of alcohol (and tobacco products) between private individuals. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
The site had already prohibited the sale of alcohol and tobacco in its Marketplace section of the site, but this regulation change extends it into groups and what the company calls “organic content," which includes comments and posts. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
CNN first reported the change on Wednesday morning and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine</em> independently confirmed the policy shift with Facebook. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
“We are updating our regulated goods policy to prohibit the sale of alcohol and tobacco products between private individuals on Facebook and Instagram,” a Facebook Spokesperson wrote in an email to Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine. “Our commerce policies already prohibit the sale of tobacco or alcohol in places like Marketplace but we’re now extending this to organic content.” </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
Facebook has become a go-to for beer traders with public and private ISO:FT groups surrounding nearly every major city and region as well as individual breweries. Online beer forums and other Internet sites still do a robust trading business, but the sheer size of Facebook and Instagram, the first and sixth largest social media sites in the world, make them obvious fertle ground for beer trades.Wednesday’s announcement comes on the heels of Instagram beta testing the hiding of its “like” counter, which was designed to make that platform less of a popularity contest but has frustrated some influencers, who rely on those numbers to help promote products on behalf of companies. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: "IBM Plex Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 15px;">
This change only applies to the sale of alcohol and tobacco, and it's unclear how Facebook intends to apply these rules to bartering and trading, but posting pictures in groups dedicated to appreciating or discussing the products is not restricted. So for now those glamour shots of Naturdays you have loaded up from this weekend’s bash are good to post.</div>

Jean Le Boeuf via News-Press<br />
<br />
<div class="speakable-p-1 p-text" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">Q</span>: Why are restaurants allowed to advertise “cocktails” on their websites and menus when clearly they do not have a full-bar license? These offerings should be called “mocktails” or “wine-based cocktails!" I feel deceived. <em>— Sincerely, Sandy M. </em></div>
<div class="speakable-p-2 p-text" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;">A</span>: Sandy, I share your pain. Nothing ruins Taco Tuesday like ordering a margarita only to have a glass of syrupy wine water delivered. </div>
<div class="p-text" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Sadly, there's not much recourse.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
While the Department of Business and Professional Regulation does enforce so-called "truth in menu" laws — <a data-track-label="inline|intext|n/a" href="https://www.freshfromflorida.com/Business-Services/Seafood/Seafood-Menu-Item-Misrepresentation-and-Product-Substitution" style="color: #1990e5; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">rules that ensure your Gulf snapper is indeed Gulf snapper</a> and not Asian-farmed tilapia — those regulations don't apply to what can or can't be called a cocktail. Cocktails must contain alcohol, yes, but the strength of that alcohol doesn't matter. </div>
<div class="p-text" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
As the department's communications director Patrick Fargason pointed out via email, "the term 'cocktail' isn't defined in the Beverage Law.</div>

There are, however, some basi<span style="font-weight: 700;">1. Drink at big restaurants. </span><span style="background-color: #fafafa;">Most restaurants must have more than 150 seats (inside and out count) in order to secure a liquor license. If you're at a restaurant with fewer than 150 seats, then it probably only has a beer/wine license — hence the wine-based substitutions. That said, it's not impossible to be small and sell liquor. The owner of Nevermind in Cape Coral, for example, has a full-liquor license purchased through Florida's liquor license lottery. That allows him to sell full-test gin, rum, you-name-it, even though he only has a few-dozen seats.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">2. Look for a bar. </span>If a restaurant has a full-liquor license, that's a huge moneymaker. They'll want you to know about it. You will almost always find a traditional bar setup at a full-liquor restaurant; bottles on display alongside draft taps and the like. Don't see a bar? You're probably getting a wine-based cocktail.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 700;">3. Ask.</span> If a little side-street taqueria is offering margaritas, or if a mom-and-pop diner has Bloody Marys on the brunch menu, I will ask the server: Is it made with tequila/vodka or with wine-based liquor? Servers will almost always tell you the truth. If they're unclear, ask a manager. I'd much rather have a mimosa than some unexpected wine-based cocktail that will sit unfinished.</div>

<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Congratulations! You’re ready to open a restaurant. You’ve got the menu, your restaurant concept, the location, investors, and your marketing materials. You’re ready to open your doors, right? Not so fast.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Before you can welcome those first diners, you have a bit more legwork. In this article, we look at permits and licenses and what you need to open the door to your restaurant.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 31.5px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.05em; line-height: 40px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Step 1: The Business License</h2>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The first type of license you need is the business license. Every single restaurant needs this before they can open and operate their restaurant.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
This is what tells the federal government that you’re a new business. It legitimizes you, and it makes your restaurant official. Above all, it gives you permission from the government to open and operate your restaurant.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The business license is issued to your restaurant from your local city or state government, and you can’t open your restaurant without this. You’ll find it accompanied by a fee that includes both your registration fee and your filing fee. Count on paying up to several thousand dollars for this license.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
In addition, you’ll find that the cost and regulations around your licensing vary state by state. You can get your license by doing an internet search. You can also check the Small Business Administration’s website for more information. If you’d rather forego the internet, go to your city hall and get your license in person. Don’t forget to renew this license on an annual basis.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Do note that if your restaurant sells alcohol, you will also have to obtain a federal business license in addition to your state business license.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 31.5px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.05em; line-height: 40px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Step 2: The Foodservice License</h2>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The health department in your city is where you’re going to go for this license. You will need to fill out a lot of paperwork to get the ball moving on your foodservice license.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Many restaurant owners feel some anxiety about this license because it involves someone coming and checking on your restaurant to make sure you are following all food safety regulations. Do remember that they will come back to your restaurant on occasion to double check you are still abiding by all the rules.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
To apply for this license, you can also apply online with your city. The fees for this permit are usually based on the size and classification of your restaurant and its location. Count on paying anywhere from $100-$1000 for your foodservice license.</div>
<h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 31.5px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.05em; line-height: 40px; margin: 10px 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Step #3: The Liquor License</h2>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
If you’re going to sell liquor at your restaurant, you will have to have a liquor license. Like the foodservice license, this one comes with many strings attached. (tweet this)</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
To sell liquor, you have to maintain this license on an ongoing basis. To find out what you have to do to get this license, and how to keep it, you’ll need to check with your state.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The liquor license is not an easy license to procure. It’s also very easy to lose this license in an instant. To get and keep this permit, you have to make sure you’re following your state’s ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) laws. They regulate the sale of alcohol in every state.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
You can lose this license for many reasons including selling liquor to minors, over serving people and having them get too drunk, disorderly conduct, allowing underage servers to serve liquor, selling at unauthorized times, and many others.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
It only takes one mistake to lose this license, so do everything you can to stay above the law.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Finally, the cost of the liquor license varies from state to state, but it usually comes with a hefty price into the tens of thousands and more.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(137, 137, 137); color: #898989; font-family: "Noto Sans", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 25px;">

<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
BOOST YOUR CURB APPEAL</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most restauranteurs have already adopted the essential mantra: Location. Location. Location. While having an optimal street address is important to the success of your business, it’s time to extend that idea one step further to truly help you stand out.</div>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
While location is a crucial first step, <a href="https://restaurantden.com/20-ideas-to-get-new-customers-in-your-restaurant/" style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e83ec; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">standing out from all the other businesses</a> on your street means boosting your curb appeal. What do we mean by that? Curb appeal to real estate marketing what presentation and plating is to a top-tier chef. Extend the interior style, mood, and ambience of your restaurant to its external façade. An unconventional paint colour, creative window décor, or bold signage can all make a customer stop and take a second look when they might otherwise have passed you by.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #353841; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: 8px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
PARTICIPATE IN POP-UP OPPORTUNITIES</h2>
<div style="background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">
Consider opening a booth at a local music, food, or craft festival. These types of events offer the infrastructure and built-in crowds you need to introduce your food and your business to a whole new demographic of customers. Not only do pop-ups provide additional exposure, they also give you the opportunity to test new food items and menu ideas. Because these events are traditionally not known for culinary excellence, your pop-up is sure to stand out and make diners think seriously about visiting your restaurant.<a href="https://restaurantden.com/ways-to-make-your-restaurant-stand-out/" target="_blank">Continue Reading</a></div>

Vacations are all about splurging and indulgence, which is why all-inclusive hotels are so alluring. Another round of <a href="https://www.dontwasteyourmoney.com/best-pool-cleaner/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(117, 138, 216) !important; font-family: inherit !important; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">poolside</a> piña coladas or an afternoon taco plate? Both, thank you very much!</div>

While the Caribbean and Mexico are rich with all-inclusive options, those of us in the U.S. have mostly been deprived of such luxury in our tropical locales — until now.</div>

That’s because <a href="https://www.bungalowskeylargo.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(117, 138, 216) !important; font-family: inherit !important; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">Bungalows Key Largo</a> is a fabulous <a href="https://www.simplemost.com/budget-friendly-resorts-for-families/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(117, 138, 216) !important; font-family: inherit !important; letter-spacing: 0.1px;">adults-only</a> resort on the northernmost island in the Florida Keys. The cocktails keep coming, the views are stunning, and the infinity pool is an ideal perch for watching sunsets. Bungalows Key Largo will be the first all-inclusive resort in the Keys when it opens in December, with rates starting at $399 per night.</div>

There Are Three Restaurants, Plus A Food Truck</h2>

Guests can make an event out of dinner with six-course meals and wine pairings at Bogie & Bacall’s, the on-property fine dining spot. Fish Tales is a resort-casual eatery overlooking the ocean, with a vibe inspired by the Italian island of Capri. Or, you can grab tacos and margaritas at Sea Señor. The resort also has a food truck; go to Largo Larry’s for quick beach bites.</div>

Jason Leppert<br />
<br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Admittedly, I used to write off Carnival Cruise Line as nothing more than a booze cruise. That was until I actually sailed with them for the first time and my eyes were opened to the truth. The “Fun Ship” brand is indeed just that – fun – and in a variety of wonderful, unexpected ways.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Carnival, winner of <a href="https://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-ocean-cruise-line/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 155, 255) !important; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none !important;">Best Ocean Cruise Line</a> in the 2019 Readers' Choice Awards, has come a long way since its wilder days. They've swapped out older ships with a decidedly 1980's Vegas aesthetic – gaudy decor, garish colors, dated lighting and endlessly repeating fixtures – for remodeled or brand-new ships that are pleasantly subdued.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Take, for instance, the line’s latest <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Carnival Horizon</span>. Like its <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Carnival Vista</span> sister ship, a fresh beach resort aesthetic offers a welcoming setting for cruisers of all ages. Guy’s Burger Joint from celebrity chef Guy Fieri grills up some of the best gourmet burgers with sides of fries at sea, while kids can spiral down speedy themed water slides with the Cat in the Hat and friends. Best of all, both are entirely free.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Such brand partnerships bolster festive programming that is remarkably consistent across a fleet of over two dozen vessels. Some hardware features like the SkyRide – a suspended cycling course perched high on the outer decks – are available only on the newest ships, but most of the software is familiar from one to the next as they are continually upgraded.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Even the act of drinking has been elevated thanks to the Alchemy Bar. The popular watering hole is staffed by apothecaries who "prescribe" elixirs to suit each patron’s mood. Molecular techniques mix exotic ingredients into delicious beverages, whether alcoholic on non-alcoholic.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Also going beyond a mere bucket of beers are full-scale onboard breweries as found on the aforementioned <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Vista</span> and <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Horizon </span>– the RedFrog Pub & Brewery and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse respectively.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
<img alt="Guy's Pig &amp; Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse elevates beer on <em>Carnival Horizon</em> with craft varieties" height="426" src="https://img1.10bestmedia.com/Images/Photos/365293/carnival-horizon-copyright-jason-leppert-1027_54_990x660.jpg" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: -webkit-standard;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Since Carnival’s core concept has always centered around fun, the playful persona begins with its crew. From the cruise director to your wait staff, everyone is friendly and upbeat, and the aura extends to shipboard performances. The Punchliner Comedy Club is a hilarious rotating showcase of world-class stand-up comics, and Playlist Productions puts on creative stage shows with high-energy singing and dancing. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit;">Horizon</span> has even reintroduced the backing of an ace live band.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Passengers are a diverse cross-section of Americans simply looking to have a good time. It’s where single friends, married couples and family reunions can all come together and find something for everyone, including accommodations. Staterooms run the gamut from budget interiors to palatial suites with options for connecting cabins, accessible staterooms and additional bathrooms for larger groups.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(92, 92, 92); color: #5c5c5c; font-family: "Unify Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; text-shadow: none !important;">
Public spaces cater to this diverse crowd, with venues like exclusive clubs for kids (Camp Ocean), tweens (Circle C) and teens (Club O2), an area for those 21 and over (Serenity Adult Only Retreat) and plenty of spots for everyone to mingle. Regular cruisers will find at-sea staples as well, such as trivia contests for the chance to win a "ship on a stick," and the sublime Cloud 9 Spa for relaxing onboard. My personal favorite activity is taking in a first-run movie at the IMAX Theatre (for a reasonable fee).<a href="https://www.10best.com/interests/explore/carnivals-fun-ships-arent-booze-cruises-you-think-they-are/" target="_blank">Continue Reading</a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 28px;">
“The clientele in Delray Beach has taken a step back from fine dining and moved toward a more upscale, casual approach,” says Bates, who was 32 East’s general manager for 19 years. “I look forward to hosting my previous clientele at this beautiful new concept. It truly is an environment unlike any other.”</div>

The restaurant, which replaces the former Caffe Martier, will become the second location of the 13-year-old Wine Room in Winter Park. It will boast more than 200 wines dispensed from Enomatic machines, along with 80-plus cheeses and 2,500 bottles of rare wines.</div>

The location affords a larger kitchen and a full liquor license with two bars for craft cocktails. The historic building once housed the Arcade Tap Room in the 1930s. </div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 28px;">
“The project turned into something much larger than first thought,” says Simberg, who says upgrading the historic building delayed the opening for months. “We had to demolish the roof, the floors, the electric, plumbing and AC. Everything is new except the speakeasy, which we restored to its original condition as much as we could.” </div>

“The cost of an ounce is $1 to $100, and the average price is $2.50 to $4. Each wine has a card in front of it that has a full description and the tasting notes,” Simberg says. “We have wine lovers with all levels of experience. This is not a snobby place but a place for learning and enjoying. Our staff will answer questions and educate.” </div>
