More News Coverage: Piatti, Pinafini & Promenade

This Monday's Radio Show

This week, I’ve divided my Monday, Feb. 10th radio show (KXFM 104.7) replay into TWO pieces. In the first half, Ruben and I interviewed Santa Ynez Artiste Wine Founder Bion Rice about his decision to host a VIP wine tasting event here in Laguna Beach on March 9th. Tickets are just $50 and already going fast here:

And the entire, interesting interview is over here in THIS article (in case you missed it):

THIS article HERE features the SECOND HALF of our Monday “Best of Laguna Beach” radio show

… Because we had MORE “Latest” and “Breaking News” to share. Just click to play ABOVE at the top as we cover:

  • Piatti’s plan for their Ocean Avenue opening this spring and their own wine story.

Details: Piatti & Pinafini in Laguna

  • Pinafini’s opening last night - finally ready 17 months later! Congratulations Restaurateur Vasken Haitayan, and son, Pierre Haitayan. We DID head in with friends last night, so more on that in another article

  • A quick review on The Harvest at The Ranch - we all piled in there for Ruben’s birthday last week.

  • Our comments on the latest Promenade renovation concept, the half block pedestrian mall on the front of Forest Avenue. We share my concerns and Ruben adds his thoughts about the BIG article I wrote last week about The Promenade’s options and where we see the biggest issues with this proposed large investment.

Did you miss my Promenade article last week?

Check it out here and let me know YOUR thoughts.

Promenade: Progress or Distraction??

“We need more support throughout the City. We can’t just emphasize the beauty of Forest or the Promenade. It needs to be emphasized throughout the city.” - Ruben Flores

“I think we need to step back and ask, “Where do we have the biggest issues that need the fastest solving in order to change the temperature of the city … the enticing feel of the city?” - Diane Armitage
