Nhà Hàng Kai-Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort Ở Chandler & Café Monarch Ở Scottsdale Trong Danh Sách 100 Nhà Hàng Tốt Nhất Hoa Kỳ Của OpenTable

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng của PRNewswire SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — In celebration of another year of superb dining experiences, OpenTable, the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part of The Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN), today unveiled the 100 Best Restaurants in America for 2015. These awards reflect the combined opinions of more than 5 million restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 20,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Top 10 Best Restaurants in America, in rank order, include: St. Francis Winery & Vineyards – Santa Rosa, California Mama’s Fish House – Paia, Hawaii Kai-Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort – Chandler, Arizona Halls Chophouse – Charleston, South Carolina Sushi Nakazawa-Sushi Bar – New York, New York Blue Hill at Stone Barns – Pocantico Hills, New York Acquerello – San Francisco, California n/naka – Los Angeles, California Daniel – New York, New York Vetri – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Like the list as a whole, the Top 10 Best Restaurants in America emphasizes revered restaurants that place a premium on striving for perfection, from Mama’s Fish House, which opened its doors in 1973 to n/naka, which opened in 2011. Each honoree provides fare and hospitality that consistently earn rave reviews and attract repeat diners, even though the concepts are quite diverse, including the non-traditional dining experience that is the sublime food and wine pairing experience at St. Francis Winery & Vineyards. Its idyllic vineyard setting, six-course menu tailored to compliment specific wine vintages and varietals, and unique value have helped St. Francis build quite a following and earn the number one spot for the second time in three years. Highlighting restaurants with experienced chefs behind the burners, the complete list features honorees in 28 states and the District of Columbia and includes Acquerello in San Francisco, Eleven Madison Park in New York, and Vedge in Philadelphia. California and New York have 16 winning restaurants each, followed by Pennsylvania with 8, Texas with 5, and Arizona, Illinois, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Virginia with four apiece. Colorado, Florida, and Ohio boast three winners each, while Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington all have two. Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, and Washington, D.C. are also represented. Established restaurants handily dominated the list; just three winners opened in the last year. Approximately a quarter of the eateries were established within the last five years, and many are more than 20 years old, with at least 14 having been in business in excess of 30 years, including perennial Manhattan favorite La Grenouille, which dates back to 1962. While American and French fare proved overwhelmingly popular, restaurants serving globally inspired fare also made their mark. Multi-course prix-fixe meals and chefs’ tastings abound, with almost half offering either one or both. The vast majority identify as fine dining restaurants, offering dinner service only, with some even indicating a jacket or formal attire is required. “Even as diners embrace a wide range of concepts from family-style meals to small plates, it’s clear that fine dining and multi-course tasting menus continue to dazzle,” says Caroline Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer. “This year’s winners are the restaurants that transcend fads, consistently put out delicious dishes, provide impeccable service, and pay attention to every detail to orchestrate one-of-a-kind experiences, time and again.” The list of the 100 Best Restaurants in America is generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between November 1, 2014 and October 31, 2015. All restaurants with a minimum number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant’s average rating in the “overall” category along with that restaurant’s rating relative to others in the same metropolitan area and the average number of restaurants reviewed by diners who reviewed that restaurant. Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in alphabetical order, comprise the 100 Best Restaurants in America according to OpenTable diners. The complete list may also be viewed at http://www.opentable.com/m/best-restaurants-in-america-for-2015/. 2015 100 Best Restaurants in America Acquerello – San Francisco, California Addison Restaurant – San Diego, California Ambience – Los Altos, California Arethusa al Tavolo – Bantam, Connecticut Arroyo Vino – Santa Fe, New Mexico Artisanal Restaurant – Banner Elk, North Carolina Atera – New York, New York Auberge du Soleil – Rutherford, California Bacchanalia – Atlanta, Georgia barmini by José Andrés – Washington, D.C.

Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and Phoenix Aviation Director Jim Bennett were on-hand to mark the occasion and celebrate the airport’s history. The Airport started in 1940, with the development of a facility for Goodyear Aircraft Corporation. The company donated adjacent land to the US Navy to develop airport facilities. The airport’s first name was the Naval Air Facility at Litchfield Park and it supported war efforts during World War II and the Korean Conflict. Goodyear 75th Anniversary – Dignitaries In 1968, the city of Phoenix purchased the airport to serve as a general aviation reliever. Since that time, Phoenix Goodyear Airport has grown and provided vital service to corporate and private pilots who come to the Valley for major sporting events such as the Super Bowl and NASCAR. “The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport is a significant component of our community’s history and an integral part of our future, said Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord. “We look forward to the continued success of the airport as it will benefit both the City of Goodyear and the City of Phoenix economies for years to come.” The airport is now home to a variety of businesses such as fixed base operator Lux Air; Aero Turbine, an aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul business, and Airline Training Center Arizona, a world-class pilot training facility for such airlines as Lufthansa. “The Phoenix Goodyear Airport has played an important role in Arizona’s history,” said City of Phoenix Aviation Director Jim Bennett. “Today, we recognize the contributions the airport has made and the essential services it offers to our West Valley community.” Goodyear 75th Anniversary – Goodyear blimp Included in the celebration was the Spirit of Innovation Goodyear Blimp, which visits Goodyear during special events such as NASCAR, the Super Bowl, and college football games to provide aerial event coverage. The Spirit of Innovation is celebrating 60 years in live, aerial broadcasting and 90 years in promotional airships this year. Since 1916, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has been part of Arizona’s rich history. See a video from the event.

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng của prweb.com PHOENIX, ARIZ (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 23, 2015 World Champion track athlete Arnold Payne knows all too well the stresses that student athletes face as they seek to fulfill their goals both on the field, court or track, as well as in their personal lives and in school. That’s why Outside the Game, LLC and Payne’s nonprofit, Africa Children’s Hope Foundation have partnered together to offer a weekend camp in January that promises to help aspiring high school student athletes sharpen their bodies and minds. “It’s a feeling only serious athletes understand,” said Payne. “The pressure to excel both in and out of the game can be completely overwhelming and often inhibits great athletes from reaching their full potential.” “Mind of a Champion Camp” will kick off on Saturday January 9, 2016 with its “Be Mindful” Reception. Students and parents will enjoy a short program titled “Training Your Mind to be a Champion” before being offered the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet one on one, mingle and learn from professional and Olympic athletes at a private, rooftop reception. Athletes available for one on one discussions throughout the events include Arnold Payne, Steve Mesler, Dwight Phillips, Tim Harden, Sandrine Nzeukou, Cornelius Brown, Dr. Paul Wallace, and Damon Mclean, and Carolyn Moos. Day two’s workshop will offer students, their parents and coaches the chance to learn critical mental preparedness and coping strategies as they move into athletics in college and beyond. Certified Sports Life Coaches, former Olympians and professional athletes will lead the all day camp to ensure whether on or off the field, at practice or at home, athletes have the support they need both mentally and physically to stay healthy and succeed. “It’s important that we reach athletes early in their careers to ensure they are prepared both mentally and physically for what the future holds, and I believe this workshop is a solid first step in getting them where they need to be,” said Payne. Both events will take place at Ability360 Sports and Fitness Center located in Phoenix, AZ.

Plans are already underway for next year’s “Dancing for Stroke” event. The event is scheduled for October 1st and will be held once again at Wild Horse Pass.

Founders, Shawn Nerdahl and John Holzworth, will once again loan their talented team of professionals to this competition. “It was so great to not only teach these talented professionals a skill they never knew they had, but to do so while helping a cause like this makes it that much better,” says Shawn Nerdahl. “Not only are we excited to share our passion for dance, but inspire others while doing so,” interjects John Holzworth.

Phoenix Reminds Residents to Recycle Right this Holiday Season

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov

Wed Nov 25 2015 15:45:00 GMT-0500 (EST) During the holiday season, the amount of waste produced by households increases by 25 percent. To help decrease the amount of waste produced, the Phoenix Public Works Department is urging residents to adopt proper sustainable practices during the upcoming holidays. Use cloth napkins and silverware rather than paper napkins and plastic utensils. Use gift bags rather than wrapping paper because gift bags can be re-used many times. If you have to use wrapping paper, choose the kind that doesn’t have cloth, felt, glitter and/or metal embellishments. Embellished paper cannot be recycled properly. Have fun with wrapping and use old magazines, comic strips, maps, etc. to wrap presents. Give holiday cards that are made of recycled paper and avoid those that have embellishments, such as glitter, on it. When sending packages to loved ones, use shredded paper or old newspapers to pack the items instead of polystyrene foam. Bring reusable shopping bags for groceries and holiday shopping. Remember that plastic shopping bags should NOT be placed in the residential blue recycling bins; take them to your nearest grocery store to be recycled. The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) has compiled a video series called “Think Before You Shop” to educate residents on how to be sustainable during the holidays. http://www.azmag.gov/Environmental/Regional_Recycling_Videos.asp For more holiday recycling tips, check out the Phoenix Public Works Facebook page at /PHXPublicWorks and follow us on Twitter and Instagram as @TalkingTrashPHX. -30- Media Contact: Yvette Roeder (media only) General Contact: Customer Service Phone Number: 602-262-7251

Senior Care Authority Now Serving Seniors Through New Phoenix Office

Theo nguồn tin trên trang mạng của prweb.com PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 18, 2015 With over 1,000 licensed assisted living locations in the Phoenix Metro area, finding the right residential care for a loved one can be a daunting task. Just ask Steve Gilbert. Based on the difficulties he experienced searching for assisted living for his father, Gilbert opened a Senior Care Authority office serving the Phoenix Metro area. His mission: To be a trusted advisor to families seeking the best care and living options for their loved ones. Senior Care Authority provides hands-on assistance to families and seniors seeking top-quality independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and residential care homes. “My goal is simple – to improve on the experience my family went through in finding care for our father. I’ve spent countless hours personally visiting and assessing hundreds of care homes and communities across Phoenix so other families don’t have to,” Gilbert said. “We also know about availability, pricing and level of care provided,” Gilbert said. “We don’t just hand clients a list of facility names; we meet one-on-one with families to get a full understanding of their needs and preferences. We then schedule and accompany them on visits to pre-approved facilities, assist them with negotiations and paperwork, and follow up after they’ve moved in.” Gilbert recently completed a certification program to become a Nationally Certified Readmission Prevention Professional (NCRP). He is one of the first healthcare leaders in the state to receive this prestigious honor, which is highly regarded by hospitals, which now are penalized financially if patients are admitted unnecessarily to the hospital. Prior to becoming a Senior Care Authority advisor, Steve spent more than 22 years in the financial services industry helping customers achieve their financial goals. He now applies his needs assessment and problem solving skills to helping seniors and their families find the right residential communities in the Phoenix Metro Area. Steve’s wife and business partner, Katy, has more than 24 years of experience in the social services and healthcare industry, so together they have over 45 years of experience in social work, healthcare and financial services. Gilbert provides his services at no charge to families; as Senior Care Authority Advisors typically receive a commission from the community the family selects. Gilbert’s territory covers Metro Phoenix, Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff (Apache, Coconino, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo and Yavapai counties). For more information about Senior Care Authority of Phoenix Metro, visit http://www.seniorcareauthority.com/phoenixmetro/ or call (888) 624-8587. Senior Care Authority provides personalized senior placement assistance to families seeking the best care options at independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing facilities. The company is headquartered in Sacramento, Calif., and serves families throughout the country through its franchise operations and network affiliates.
