No booze on the beach

The city of Miami has banned the Miami Beach Hotels from serving alcohol on the beach. This could come as a problem for the tourists as they may not be able to enjoy the delectable drinks from the cellar especially the strawberry daiquiri.

The ban has been made in respect of the Memorial Day preparations in the Miami City. The Memorial Day weekend is celebrated with great pomp and show in these regions.

The preparations for the Day are in full swing at the moment and the visitors and tourists flock in from the remote confines, especially the natives from the regions who have settled elsewhere.

But banning alcohol during these days in this region can pose a little bit of problem as the newly renovated and newly established hotels in the region have oceanfront settings and serve alcohol on a regular basis.



The city attorney has tightened the rules for the roof lounge parties as the nearby people and localites complained of noise and distractions at night. Many hotels and resorts in teh region were contemplating getting a special permit for rooftop lounge parties but special recent discretion of the planning board has kind of deterred them from pursuing the plans as of now.

According to the attorney, these plans are essential to keep the law and order in place, ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.

Growth parameters for Textile

yes, the famous restaurant whose ultimate dining experience has led to an overwhelming fan following is looking to grow so as to serve its patrons in a better way.

Scott Tycer is the proud owner of Textile restaurant and he, in contemplation with his head chef Ryan Hildebrand has decided to look for a new location for his new hybrid project. The project is a hybrid because in addition to the typical fashionable boutique restaurant Textile, it will also house a gastropub which will offer menu similar to that of the restaurant but at a lower price. The gastro pub would be larger as compared to Textile.

Till now, Textile has been a 10-table dining restaurant, a little cut off from the mainstream. Its patrons frequent is in its original location but the owner-chef Tycer wants to revamp its identity and take it into the mainstream. He had opened the first Textile in the autumn of 2008 and since then it has become iconic for its food and warm ambience.

The plan in still in its initial stages but one thing is sure that the owner chef duo is all set to take the Textile to a new level. They are looking for locations that would suit the plans well and have in mind something that offers a set up like theatrical open kitchen with a counter service section in the middle.

There were rumors that Textile is closing and these seemed to have generated because of the fact that the owner was looking for location outside Heights, where it is currently located.
