The Maine Event/Lobster and More Portland

Portland, Maine – one of the most beautiful spots to visit during the summer months. Cool and delicious!

You’re going to go for a boat ride on Casco Bay! There are wonderful ways to enjoy the Portland area, including sight-seeing tours that are aboard a vintage fire engine and fun for the entire family.

There are fabulous restaurants – the culinary scene is quite sophisticated. In the area of the old historic town, they probably have the freshest lobster in the United States.

As crazy as it may seem, they have a Wacky Adventure Walk Game that is for everyone of all ages and more fun than you can imagine. For the more serious minded, the Portland Art Museum has an excellent collection of Fine Art.

To top it all off, they have the Allagash Brewery, which has an incredible selection of beers. You can get a tour to see how it’s all produced, and get samples of various brews.

So whether you want to join me for some lobster in Portland, Maine, or you’re enjoying the steamy summer weather in West Palm Beach, remember, it’s all about style.

Scarves are perfect for cool coastal weather – Schedule to see my latest collection – Bonnie@bonnieroseman.com.

Savory Charleston, SC, the Low Country

Are you ready to drive for a day from West Palm Beach to reach a fabulous destination? Head out for the Low Country; Charleston, South Carolina is sizzling with activities, and so friendly to visitors!

This time of year, it’s just great to walk or ride a bike over the Cooper River, on the Arthur Ravenelle Junior Bridge! The views are the best from the Mount Pleasant side.

One of the best beaches to visit is on Sullivan’s Island. It’s usually not quite as crowded as the others, and just exquisite. Or, you could also do a picnic in Hampton Park! All of these activities are great to do with the whole family.

If you’d like to see an Eighteenth Century house that’s completely preserved, go to Drayton Hall, a plantation that will take you back into time!

Don’t miss Angel Oak, which is located just outside of Charleston on John’s Island. It’s about 66 feet tall and 28 feet in circumference, and it’s over 500 years old!

You won’t want to leave down without going down fabulous King Street, where you can visit the little shops, eat at the local restaurants, and grab an ice cream to enjoy by the waterfront and the giant Pineapple Fountain!

So whether you’re strolling down King Street in South Carolina, or you’re enjoying the steamy hot weather of West Palm Beach, remember, it’s all about style.

Tiny Nantucket, But So Much To Do!

I’m on the Grey Lady, Nantucket Island, 33 miles from the mainland of the United States! What a beautiful spot to spend the summer.

On the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, Nantucket is the place you want to be! You can bike for miles – it’s a 16 mile island by 3 miles wide.

There are many wonderful museums on island to explore: The Whaling Museum, The Shipwreck Museum, The Basket Museum, just to name a few.

And, this week is the Nantucket Film Festival. It’s right up there with the Tribeca Film Festival or the Telluride Film Festival. There are people coming in from all over the world, to see top Independent films, and commercial films as well. It’s going to be quite a week here!

Originally, the island was inhabited by the Wampanoags Indians, and then the white men came over in the mid 1600s. The oldest house on the island still remains, and is available for tours.

For you nature lovers, there are bird tours, flower tours, all kinds of garden and plant tours…It’s truly a wonderful place filled with natural beauty.

If you’re looking for a little culture, the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket puts on some wonderful Broadway productions, as well as the White Heron Theatre – they are top notch.

Nantucket has a wonderful art culture scene on the island. There are numerous art galleries sprinkled throughout the island, and in the downtown area. The Nantucket Artist Association features the best artists on the island. There are also walking tours on island featuring galleries displaying incredible art – it’s a wonderful creative scene!

So whether you’re in Nantucket or West Palm Beach, remember, it doesn’t matter where you are – it’s all about style!

Bonnie Takes a Bite out of the Big Apple

I’ll be buzzing all over the country this summer, and telling you all about my favorite places and things to do.

It’s been 6 years since Feinstein’s 54 Below opened their doors, and they have some of the best Cabaret Shows in the United States, not just New York City. Go there on a Friday night – they have a show at 7 PM, 9:30 PM, and at 11:30 PM they have the National Touring Cast of Chorus Line doing a concert. Always interesting – go online to 54below.com to checkout 54 Below.

Another one of my favorite activities in New York is to go to Birdland on a Monday night and go to the Cast Party! Jim Caruso and Billy Stritch are favorites of mine and I love a chance to see them – they always have incredible people come in and share their talent. It’s at 315 West 44th Street, and it always starts around 9:30 PM. Check it out here!

Of course you always know I go to a show on Broadway, and this year, one of the best of the 2018 season is Angels in America, Tony Kushner’s original 1993 masterpiece has returned to Broadway….If you can manage to get a ticket! It’s a must-see!

Fun for the entire family, another Broadway Show: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, one of the most fun musicals of the season. Get whisked away to the wondrous fantasy world!

Another one of the things to top my list is the Georgia Okeefe’s Exhibit that’s taking place this month at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. It will be in their Conservatory, where they’ll be showing some of her fabulous paintings that she did in Hawaii, that haven’t been shown in New York since the 1940s, side by side with some of the most beautiful flowers and plants. A must-see!

And of course, strolling through Central Park can’t be beat! Between the zoo, the pond, the lakes, incredible trees…And of course, those Elms.

So whether you’re going to a Broadway Show or a beautiful exhibition in Central Park, remember, it’s all about style.
