Sip n' Stretch

{Much deserved Mimosas after class}

It was a Sunday Funday for 60+ people who attended the Sip n' Stretch event with Stretch Pilates at Marcy Casino. A continental breakfast with Bloody Mary's and Mimosas followed the hour long pilates class. What was nice about the class was that each instructor took a part of it so you got a taste for each one. Hoping to be a regular event, it was $32 after service fees and included the class, brunch and two drink tickets. You also could help yourself to a coupon for a free half hour pilates session at Stretch Pilates Studio. For being the first one, there are some minor kinks to work out; the space was a little crowded, so if you didn't get there early enough you didn't get a good spot, but I think if 10 less tickets were sold, people would fit comfortably. For a Sunday during the winter, it was a nice activity to do indoors, if you missed out on this first one I encourage you to check out the next session they do!

Fathers Day Things to Do

Father's Day is just around the corner and if you're like me, I prefer to spend the day with my Dad doing something he enjoys rather than buying him some gift that he will just put to the side. So, I thought I would compile a list of some things you could do and places you could go with your Dad.

Golf Courses:

• Diamond Hawk (Cheektowaga)
• Greenwood (Clarence)
• Harris Hill (Bowmansville) - I just found out this is not open because they are building condos where the driving range used to be - so disappointing.
• Delaware Park (Buffalo)

Brunch Spots:

• Cecelia's
• Providence Social
• Trattoria Aroma
• Elm Street Bakery

Other Activities:

• Canalside - kayaking, water bikes, boat tours
• Niagara Falls - Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds
• Brewery Tours - with Craft Breweries being so popular - go on one of your own brewery tours - Flying Bison, Resurgence, Big Ditch, Rusty Nickel are just a few to check out!

After Brunch is an after party - this Sunday at Encore! For more details click here.

Down the street from my work, is a new clothing boutique at HarborCenter. With the nicer weather I will be taking a stroll down there to check it out! Red Siren

Let's Brunch!

Since its become such a popular "thing to-do" in town a couple weeks ago I was able to head back to one of my favorite places and check out their brunch, Providence Social. The best thing you can do is make a reservation. I made one for 11am and am so thankful I did. Within 10 minutes of being there, there was a line of people and the place was packed - it isn't a surprise though for $1 Mimosa's I'd be there early too!

I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese omelet and side of mixed fruit - Yum! If you're looking for a new place to brunch make sure to put Providence Social on your place to visit!

Friday Favorites!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I hope all of you had a wonderful Holiday. Now we approach the craziness of Black Friday, the awesomeness {is that a word?} of Small Business Saturday and enjoying another Bills win {hopefully} on Sunday. Have a great one, make it count! -B
