Eat:
French Toast Anyone? The Paramount (667 East Broadway) is serving up some of the tastiest dishes around. What really caught our eye was their abundant selections of french toast, but in particular, the fresh banana and caramel french toast. This delectable breakfast favorite is “to die for,” loaded with fresh bananas, sweet caramel sauce and topped off with powdered sugar. Yum!

Apres Beach:
After a hot day at the beach an ice cold beer will do the trick. The Seapoint Restaurant (367 East Eighth Street) is offering a Beach Blanket Bingo Special.

Shop:
It’s official – summer is here- the SoWo Open Market new season is in full swing. Get some fresh air, mix and mingle among rows and rows of artisans and vendors, enjoy lunch at one of the food trucks and shop till you drop. With an ever-changing group of vendors, you never know what treasure you might discover at SoWa Sundays! SoWa Open Market happens every Sunday through October from 10am-4pm. (460 Harrison Ave.) For more information: http://www.sowaopenmarket.com/
Rumba:
The Intercontinental Hotel launches a new outdoor bar and patio at Rumba. Enjoy cocktails at this trendy new spot overlooking the water. Did you RumBa has nothing to do with the famous Latin dance “the Rumba”? It’s the Intercontinental’s way of poking fun at Bostonian’s pronunciation of “Rum Bar” (the ‘R’ in ‘Bar’ being silent). Rum Bar simply evolved to RumBa. Hahaha – aren’t they clever?
