San Francisco, CA 94108 


Gin & Tonic Reimagined:

1 ½ parts Bombay Sapphire East
3 parts Fever-Tree tonic water
Lime slice
Lemongrass stalk
Basil
Black peppercorns
Build all with cubed ice in large, Spanish-style wine glass. Squeeze one lime slice and add garnishes as desired.

*This preparation prevents the tonic from overpowering the natural botanicals, bringing the flavors of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE East to the forefront. When using this method, one can choose to highlight any of the 12 botanicals already found in the gin.

City Senses Pop-Up Gallery by Canon’s PIXMA PRO




Canon’s PIXMA PRO City Senses Pop-Up Gallery in San Francisco hosted by Food Network celebrity chef Tyler Florence took place on Tuesday, October 8th at the Folsom Street Foundry.

The event featured photographs from Tyler as well as San Francisco photographers Robyn Lehr and Erin Kunkel. Attendees were able to experience the power of print as one of the Bay Area’s most iconic locations was brought to life in an interactive sensorial gallery.

This meant that they literally were exposed to sounds, smells, and other relevant senses while looking at photographs created on the Canon’s PIXMA PRO printers.

Canon’s PIXMA PRO printers create large format high resolution images from digital cameras.

Pop-up Parks bring life to City blocks



Pop-up parks are changing the urban landscape.

Per the Philly.com


The hideaway in question is the latest addition to Philadelphia's growing collection of pop-up parks, an increasingly popular and low-cost way for cities to carve out green retreats amid the crowded hardscape desert. This one is brought to you by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and, to be honest, it's not really hidden. It's right there across from the Kimmel Center, between Spruce and Pine Streets. It just feels as if it were a world away.
You could similarly indulge your escapist fantasies at the Porch, alongside 30th Street Station; at the University City District's new Baltimore Avenue plaza; or at Eakins Oval. As of Thursday, the interior of that glorified traffic circle has been outfitted with Parisian-style cafe tables and christened, "The Oval."
But it is PHS's pop-up that will make you feel you've truly left the pressures of the city behind. That is due partly to the site - a vacant lot cradled between the pocked brick walls of two survivor buildings - partly to good design, partly to beer. OK, beer is a big reason the pop-up is so irresistible.
PHS has assembled pop-up gardens on such vacant lots for the past two summers as a way to take its mission to the streets and put leftovers from its annual flower show to good use. Those installations were artful, but static.
