Texans will have the chance to enjoy 45,000 sq ft of food, music and fun at TOGO 2010, which stands for Taste of Greenville Avenue . TOGA showcases the more than 30 eateries located on Greenville Avenue and will have additional public service booths and business exhibitors. In addition to the incredible food, there will be music and family activities throughout the event on Saturday, October 23rd.

Organized for a second year by the Greenville Avenue Restaurant Association , the spotlight is on the food. Participating restaurants will offer up their best menu items in sample size portions for only $2 a pop. This will allow attendees to sample a wide range of restaurants and will level out the competition between eateries based on price.

Entertainment for the event will include local musical groups, including the Woodrow Wilson High School Marching Band and local school choirs. There will even be a jalapeno eating contest, currently scheduled for 12:15 that should offer lots of fun for the crowd. ArtLoveMagic will also be performing throughout the event. The group celebrates local poets, artists, illustrators, and musicians.

Restaurants already scheduled include Nandina’s Asian Tapas, Ali Baba Lebanese Grill, Texadelphia, The Blue Fish, Dodie’s Cajun Diner, and Bliss Raw Cafe . Some of the public service booths at the event will include Dallas Fire & Rescue, Griffey’s House, the Office of Emergency Management, and various political groups.

Last year’s event drew over 4,000 festival goers, including many from area five star hotels. Dallas is truly becoming a popular foodie destination.

The 23rd annual Las Olas Art Fair will be held in Fort Lauderdale on October 23rd & 24th. Over 200 regional, national, and international artists and craftsmen will display their works, turning Las Olas into an outdoor gallery. Thousands of spectators are expected to gather at Fort Lauderdale hotels to attend the event, which is ranked as one of the top 100 art festivals in the US.

The Las Olas Art Fair is a juried event, which means that judges carefully select the participants from hundreds of applicants. This ensures only the highest quality original artwork will be on display. The fair requires that all artists remain at the event throughout the weekend, which gives visitors the opportunity to mix with the artists, asking questions, learning about inspirations, and even commissioning specific works. At many large festivals, art lovers only get to view and purchase the art, and perhaps attend a lecture or panel discussion featuring the artists themselves. With artworks priced from $15 to $20,000 for large scale sculpture, there truly is something for art lovers of all walks of life.

Las Olas Boulevard is known as the heart of Fort Lauderdale with shopping, restaurants, spas, fashion, and plenty of art galleries and studios.

In a city as old and diverse as Boston, anyone visiting can find pretty much anything they’re looking for. With an enormous range of live art, from theatre to music and dance, every evening can easily be filled with sublime performances. The only other thing missing from the picture, besides time in a luxury Boston hotel would be the meal before or after the show. And Boston is perfectly suited to accommodate every taste.

There are choices for nearly any kind of cuisine in the world, and the mix of cultures here means that there are generations of expertise running through the recipes. Enough so that it’s possible to get into arguments about who serves the best BLT in Boston. This is great news for chowhounds, because there are choices for everything.

In the BLT realm, however, there seems to be two places that consistently rank on the people’s choices lists. Flour Bakery and Shay’s Pub and Wine Bar couldn’t be more different, and both offer a sandwich worth traveling for. The Shay’s version is the old school BLT, served up on toasted white bread, with nothing extra. At Flour, the “l” becomes arugula, and the bacon is applewood-smoked, and there are other gourmet touches. It all is enough to make one love the city so much that it almost feels like home.
