FiRE + iCE Beats

It’s funny how sometimes you can be inspired by the most random things.  Maybe you’re laying out at the park on a warm cloudy day and you happen to look up at the right moment and notice that the clouds make the most amazing portrait you’ve ever seen.

It happens to me every so often and when it does, I try to mimic what I’ve seen and put it on paper - you know, capture the moment somehow.  I usually produce a pretty cool drawing.  To be inspired is amazing, especially when you’re able to create a physical memory of that inspiration, such as a drawing, or a…..a music beat?

Yes!  Music beats!  Beats are so amazing, especially the ones that you can’t help but bob your head to, close your eyes and think, “how could someone create this brilliant music beat that’s making me feel so good right now?”   Then you happen to think, where did this beat originate from? Or,  what was the artist’s inspiration for this “feel good” melody?

I couldn’t help but think exactly that when I came across the Beats- [Fire and Ice] featured on YouTube by an artist named Boygnyus, no older than 18.  He created one of the dopest beast I’ve ever heard… and so effortlessly!

Beats- [Fire and Ice] YouTube video is simply inspiration manifested into one amazing R&B beat.  And it wasn’t until after I watched Beats- [Fire and Ice], that I found out the ” Fire and Ice” beat was actually inspired by the FIRE+ICE restaurant in Nyack NY!  Turns out B0ygnyus ate at the Nyack FIRE+ICE and immediately created the Beats- [Fire and Ice] video and rendered his FIRE+ICE dining experience as his “inspiration.”

I’m telling you, just watch and listen to B0ygnyus’ more than impressive creation. It’s guaranteed to get your head bobbing. www.youtube.com/user/b0ygnyus

Eat Till You Drop

I adore shopping. Who doesn’t? However, the only parts about shopping I dislike are looking at my credit card statements and crying excessively over the unnecessary purchases I made, and the fact that I become so feeble while shopping (due to hunger). I wish I could constantly eat while escapading through the mall. Fortunately, the hunger issue can easily be fixed. Malls are stacked with restaurants to get grub. Although, I’m not talking about “Micky D’s” or Auntie’s Pretzel’s – yes, they are quick fixes, but French fries and pretzels filled with cheese will only make me more depressed.

After a long day of shopping with friends, I like to take a seat and relax for an hour or so – and let’s not fail to mention that I will absolutely be sipping on a margarita.

If you hail from the Rockland County, New York area and find yourself a common visitor of the Palisades Center in West Nyack– one of the largest malls in the country with over 220 shops, restaurants and theatres –make sure to grab a bowl at FiRE + iCE. The restaurant is located on the 4th level of the Palisades Center. I have been to this mall before, and boy, it is large. It was also a dangerous shopping experience, putting me in a little debt. I like to forget about that…

FiRE + iCE’s largest restaurant can be found in the Providence Place Mall in Providence, RI. FiRE + iCE is centrally located near Kennedy Plaza, many historical hotels and walking distance to Johnson and Wales University, RISD, Brown University and Providence College. Perfect location for you and your compadres. FiRE + iCE opened this location in 1999, which seats up to 326 guests. So now you and your shopping buddies (that easily influence your shopping habits) can wine and dine after a long, laggard day of swiping that plastic. A good thing to note is that on Monday nights, FiRE + iCE hosts ‘College Night,’ where with a valid college ID, dinner is only $9.95. We also feature a $1.99 Happy Hour Appetizer Menu. Amazing.

If you reside on the West Coast and are in the vicinity of the Shops at the Anaheim Garden Walk, you are in complete danger. Kidding. Well, kind of. The shops here are amazing and the location is absolutely to die for. The FiRE + iCE restaurant in Anaheim showcases an incredible variety of fresh food, cooked on the open grill, in an invigorating atmosphere. The cool thing about this FiRE + iCE is that it features an expansive outdoor patio with a fire pit. So you and your friends can pow-wow outside and enjoy a superb meal. Or, you and the loved one can have a romantic evening and sip on the signature FiRE + iCE Blueberry Lemon margarita in the fresh, Anaheim outdoor climate.

Anyhow, all of this talk about FiRE + iCE is making me quite hungry. I’m going to grab a bowl. Until next time.
