Video Conferencing Enables Socially Distant Face-to-Face Communication

June 6, 2020 By Charles Pizzo

For those of us who choose or need to stay in isolation during the pandemic, being alone is a factor that cannot be ignored. On the one hand, the need to protect one’s physical health is obvious. But, on the other hand, being by oneself all or most of the time can be negative to mental health. Many of us are social animals. Regardless of whether you’re introverted or … [Read more...] about Video Conferencing Enables Socially Distant Face-to-Face Communication

New Years: The Daily Beet Proves Healthy Can Be Delicious

January 14, 2020 By Charles Pizzo

Made a New Years resolution to eat healthier in 2020? Most of us start January with good intentions about food, fitness, and finances that fall by the wayside as we yield to temptation. In the words of New Orleans-born entertainer Bianca Del Rio, “not today Satan!”   The biggest change one needs to make is to one’s attitude. Once you make the decision to do something, … [Read more...] about New Years: The Daily Beet Proves Healthy Can Be Delicious

Authentic, Gourmet Chinese at Dian Xin

December 17, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

People born in China sometimes don’t recognize Chinese food in the USA. They see similarities, but the dish in question does not exist back home. That’s because much of the Chinese food served in this country has been westernized to appeal to American tastes. In Asia, I discovered that the same thing also happens in reverse; I was served spaghetti with seaweed and scrambled … [Read more...] about Authentic, Gourmet Chinese at Dian Xin

Businesses make bank during the busy holiday season. It doesn’t matter what you’re selling—the key to success is to focus on sales. Among social media platforms, the format of Instagram lends itself to visual marketing. That’s because Instagram requires a photo or advertising graphic to post.

The Sophisticated, Second Act at Longway Tavern

November 19, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

Filling the large shoes of a predecessor is a daunting task. History is rife, however, with sequels that equaled or surpassed the original (The Godfather II, The Empire Strikes Back, and Aliens spring to mind).   Such is the case at Longway Tavern, where the chef who opened this newish spot to rave reviews was felled by personal issues. This had to be tragic not only for … [Read more...] about The Sophisticated, Second Act at Longway Tavern

Elevated Bar Food from the Streets of Brazil

October 22, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

In my youth, bar food meant nachos, burgers, and pizza—usually greasy. I was young, drunk, and stupid. Now, older yet no wiser, I was intrigued to try what is described as Comida de Rua (Brazilian style street food) at Carnaval Lounge (formerly Siberia). How times have changed. Carnaval offers elevated bar food from Chef Gustavo Naar that could be served in any fine dining … [Read more...] about Elevated Bar Food from the Streets of Brazil

Facebook 101 for Business

October 8, 2019 By Charles Pizzo

With over a billion users, Facebook is a great place to start marketing your business via social media. Instagram and Twitter are viable alternatives—and ultimately, you will want to use all three—but Facebook’s near total market penetration and easy-to-use tools make it the best first option.  Business owners will sometimes question the use of social media because … [Read more...] about Facebook 101 for Business
