Upcoming Food and Wine Fests Hit Austin, Pebble Beach, and Miami

April 4, 2013 at 12:20 PM | by | Comments (0)

When it comes to food and travel they pretty much go hand in hand. That’s why we took a look at some citywide food festivals taking place this month, as checking out a new place with a side of delicious is always a good option. As the weather gets warmer it’s finally time to come out of hibernation, and here are three picks to do just that this April.

Pebble Beach Food and Wine

Just like the name indicates this food and wine event takes place over in Pebble Beach, California, as the chefs, cooks, and sommeliers are set to do their thing between April 4 and April 7. In total they’re offering up like 22 different wine tasting options, 8 different specialty dinners and lunches, and appearances from over 30 different chefs from around the globe.

As far as the events are concerned there are some pricier packages that include all kinds of different things, but if you are just looking to piece together your own options that’s fine too.

We found available wine and beer tasting events for as little as $100 per person, but if you’re looking for an interactive lunch or dinner—expect to shell out at least $200 per person. It might be a little bit of a splurge, but we say it’s worth it—maybe except for Guy Fieri Cooking Demonstration, as we’re pretty sure that’s available for free anytime you want over on Food Network.

Register Now to Run Down a Runway at New York's JFK International Airport

April 2, 2013 at 10:19 AM | by | Comments (0)

Have you ever wanted to walk on a major airport runway? Hopefully you never have to because of emergency circumstances (see an example of that here), but there is a legal (and safe) way to take a stroll one of New York-JFK's runways, and that's by registering for the JFK Runway Run 2013.

Okay, so its not so much a stroll as it is a full-fledged 5K race, but a portion of it does indeed include tramping on the longest runway at JFK, while aircraft are re-routed to land on a different runway during the race. Apparently the race has been around since the mid-1970s, which is pretty neat-o. Here's even more pertinent details to convince you to run:

North Carolina Declares April 'Beer Month'

March 29, 2013 at 5:58 PM | by | Comments (0)

No, this is definitely not an April Fools joke. North Carolina has declared that April will be "Beer Month" throughout the state. There are plenty of options for getting sloshed across all of NC, from a Beer Lover's Weekend at the O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro to a tour of the Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, to limited-edition beer flights in Blowing Rock.

The official NC Beer Month website has tons of event recommendations as well as a trip planner that focuses on specific regions (coast, mountains, piedmont).

Just make sure that you get some Bojangle's Chicken in between the beer runs.

Two More Easter PEEP Shows for All Ages

March 27, 2013 at 1:04 PM | by | Comments (0)

Just last week we were all excited about the arrival of marshmallow Peeps at the Racine Art Museum over in Wisconsin. Not to worry—they’re still putting on their Peep exhibit—but there’s actually a few more places where you can see candy turned into art during the spring season. We just wonder when the chocolate bunnies are getting their own gallery space.

There must be something about the sugary candies and Wisconsin, as another seasonal selection of Peeps is now doing its thing at the Riverfront Arts Center in Stevens Point. Things here run through April 7, and last year there were around 1,300 or so peeple—ha—that came to check things out. This year there’s around 30 entries from both little kids and big kids, and they illustrate every thing from superheroes to a candy version of the Papal Conclave.

Where to Visit an Entire Exhibit Dedicated to Marshmallow Peeps

March 21, 2013 at 9:27 AM | by | Comments (0)

It’s officially spring—at least according to the calendar—and that means it’s time to celebrate the season with chocolate bunnies, candy eggs, and plenty of jelly beans. Sure that stuff is traditionally brought out to celebrate Easter, but we’re pretty sure it tastes just as good no matter your religious affiliation or lack thereof. Of course one treat that takes seasonal candy to the next level are the trusty marshmallow Peeps. This year they taste even better, as they’re part of their very own art exhibit.

If you don’t call Wisconsin home you might want to start looking into some flights, as March 29 is when the exhibit opens up at the Racine Art Museum. They’ve been doing this for a few years now, and the fun is scheduled to run through Sunday April 14. It’s just what you imagine it to be, as artists of all ages are encouraged and welcomed to create their own masterpiece made of out of the candy.

It's Not Too Late to Sign Up for Florida's 29th Annual Mullet Toss

Where: 17401 Perdido Key Drive [map], Pensacola, FL, United States, 32507
March 19, 2013 at 2:28 PM | by | Comments (0)

If you've been getting bored of the usual beach activities—tanning, reading, building sand castles—then Pensacola, FL has one idea to liven things up. Next month, the state hosts its twenty-ninth annual mullet* toss, and it's exactly what it sounds like.

The Interstate Mullet Toss attracts up to 10,000 fish-flingers each year, who gather on the beach in Perdido Key and, yes, toss dead mullet across the Florida-Alabama state line.

Apparently, mullet are one of the area's most populous fish, and, according to the event's website, "are even said to possess mystical properties." Hopefully, one of those properties involves having a really, really good sense of humor, because if it were our corpses being flung over a state line, we'd be none too happy.
