5 Crowns & Side Door Host a Cocktail Party to Debut New Menu & Chef!
September 7, 2012 | 
Author Now that Labor Day is past, please don’t think summer is over! It’s not. Or even if the weather does an about face, you should treat yourself to some great dining experiences–whether off the cuff at a gastropub, a mid-week spoil yourself dinner or even a weekend evening with friends — and do it at the 5 Crowns and the Side Door gastropub in Corona Del Mar. Well worth the drive and the parking, the service but more importantly, the food will absolultely slay you. The drinks will make you relax and indulge even a bit more.

Get Gorgeous Hair — and Keep It That Way with VOCE Hair Care! An Interview with Creator, Kaz Amor
I had heard about a new hair care line back in December and January. I could never remember the name but it was different. I was trying to track down the brand and was having some difficulty. I figured I would see it at ISSE in Long Beach, CA but it wasn’t there. However I ran into someone else that I knew from Warren Tricomi Los Angeles at the show and she told me that the salon’s managing partner, Kaz Amor had a new hair care line out. I don’t remember getting the name from her at all but I figured I would start circling back to Kaz to find out what was new. While I was doing my scouting and hunting, I heard about this line Voce– but still didn’t know who or what was behind it. I found it on Facebook.

Celebrate Summer with Fabulous Cocktails: Test Drive Mojitos with a Twist!
I love to have a special cocktail for the week. It makes summer more fun– and enjoyable. It makes the week or weekend more special — more party-like. Here’s a twist on a mojito featuring a new liqueur and also a brand of rum made out of Panama. Fairly new to the US, Ron Abuelo Rum is 75 years old– so it’s quality. The parent company, Varela Hermanos, is over 100 years old. The Mariposa Agave Nectar liqueur is distinctive and tasty!!
