Gone to Beerfest

In honor of my birthday, we are taking today off and we’ll be back on Monday. The NY Brewfest is tonight (South Street Seaport) and Beer week is all week long in NYC. Go out and try some local and possible organic beers. Local is the new green so support your local economy and brewery.

In other news, what do you guys think of the new format of only posting 3 times a week rather than 5? Leave us some feedback!



Go check out our friends Thing-One on Saturday night in NYC. Cupcakefest performers Thing-One from Jersey are releasing their new record at The Mercury Lounge. Hit them up if you are around!

    LOCAL Green Expos

    Anyone going to Global Green in Jersey City, NJ or to Go Green Expo in NYC? I headed to Global Green yesterday. Lots of vendors and fresh, local, organic food as well as speakers. I got to see the Gov’ner of Jersey up close and personal. That was kind of neat. Go Green will be fun, we’re heading there Sunday!

    See You There!

    Green Apple Cleaners

    New York’s Green Apple Cleaners has a great concept. They are a Local, eco-friendly dry cleaners with fast and convenient services. They use reusable bags and offer pickup and delivery services.

    I am not in New York City, but Green Apple Cleaners has one of their large depots right near my home in Lodi, New Jersey. Check out the site for how their system works, but just some words of advice, sign up and use them, it’s totally worth it.

    I stopped in to drop off two articles, an old army jacket that I bought at the Salvation Army and my Sling and Stones denim. I arrived after the store closed, but the clerk was kind enough to let me in after hours. I dropped off the two pieces and headed home.

    Three days later, I picked up the goods. Not only was it clean, it was amazing. The denim was clean and freshly pressed. They still had the same selvage stiffness that they are supposed to have and the jacket did not look like it was from 1971.

    When I bought the jacket, it was missing a button on one of the cuffs, they fixed it without even asking or charging for the repair. It was wonderful. The jacket smelled brand new and fit like a charm. It was a wonderful day.

    I spoke with Chris, the President of the CO2 cleaning company; he is a great guy with a great group of people working with him. They have Smart cars and use all earth friendly practices as much as possible. If you live locally in Bergen County, NJ, stop by the Lodi or the new Mahwah location. You will not be disappointed.

    Tune back soon, we’re going to head into the plant and chat more with Chris and company. I have to wait until it’s time to dry clean something else!

    In the meantime, check out Green Apple Cleaner’s site for tons more information.

    White Grape Sparkling Beverage

    I gave The Simple Kitchen another chance with their White Grape Organic Sparkling Beverage and here are the results. Ed did not like the Grapefruit, I almost couldn’t finish the Lemon and Mint, but the White Grape is different.

    The Simple Kitchen

    It actually had no taste to it. I did not taste grapes, lemon nor honey. The beverage has the same amount of calories (60) as the other beverages and is still 100% organic, but is flavorless as well. I’d be better off drinking water.

    Sorry, organic doesn’t always mean great flavor.

    The lemon and mint review is making the pot boil, read about it!

    Even more importantly for you New Yorkers, Nau is having a SALE!
