Pittsburgh Magazine "Best of Green"

Best Cocktail Mover and Shaker: Spencer Warren, owner of the Firehouse Lounge (2216 Penn Ave., Strip District), was one of the first mixologists on the scene in Pittsburgh. He also is one of the first to introduce organic cocktails to the region. Organic and local are both things that are very important to Warren, and as a result, he has had a lot of fun creating specialty drinks. While he relishes serving cocktails made from unique and fresh ingredients, he is quick to point out the limited availability of true organic spirits on the market. With that said, Warren delights in serving up organic selections such as a Prairie/40 North vodka cocktail and a sangria made from BD (biodynamic) wines. His ambitious drink menu, which changes seasonally, includes some interesting and mouth-watering favorites such as a Bluecoat Blossom, the Curious George or a Lime or Lavender Mojito. Drink responsibly and organically.


The Firehouse Lounge was featured on the April 2009 issue of Pittsburgh Magazine.

And since I'm on the topic, here are a few more of my favorite green things in Pittsburgh:

Equita (Italian for fairness) is a design-conscious shop showcasing the finest in green, sweatshop-free and Fair Trade essentials for the body and home. WWW.SHOPEQUITA.COM

Artemis Environmental Building Materials displays and sells high-quality, environmentally responsible, "green" building products. Opened in Pittsburgh in the spring of 2005, ARTEMIS is designed to expand the availability and use of green building products in the tri-state region.

Farmers at the Firehouse 2216 Penn Ave., Strip District. 9 a.m-1 p.m. Saturdays (seasonal)
No offense to any of the area's other fine weekly meeting grounds for folks who grow our food, but this foodie magnet has it all. It's mostly organic, for one -- the region's only market with that distinction, and just the first sign of its commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Anna Kournikova on Rachel Ray

To celebrate the National Girls and Boys Club of America Week, Anna Kournikova spent a few days in NY and ended her week on the Rachel Ray show.

So anyhow on to the gossip, Anna Kournikova was on Rachel Ray yesterday promoting her affiliation with the Boys and Girls Club and to promote the "Get Animated" campaign, and guess what? I know I already spilled the beans, she was wearing another GIVE AND TAKE charity t-shirt!
This is the same one that Selena Gomez was seen wearing a few months ago.

I'm having a REALLY hard time getting the video to post, so you have to go to this link to check it out ANNA KOURNIKOVA ON RACHEL RAY

Oh AND she wore one while being interviewed by the AP

Anna Kournikova supports the "Boys and Girls Club"

Late night with Jimmy Fallon is off to a rocking start. Last week's special guest, Anna Kournikova, was spotted entering the studios wearing the Give and Take "Boys and Girls Club" Charity t-shirt. The blonde vixen, known more for her recent Maxim spreads and heart throb boytoys than her tennis record, beat Fallon in a Beer Pong challenge so thankfully she was in a micro mini dress rather than the positive messaged tee.

Rumors are circulating that she was also guest on Rachel Ray on Yesterdaay, perhaps she will be rocking a tee!!! Ok, fine I know she wore one. . .
