Children grow up so fast that at times it may seem like the milestones in their lives blur together. Before you know it, the tiny human being who’s every need you were once responsible for is now ready to assume their own responsibilities. Bar and Bat Mitzvahs create an opportunity for savoring the transition between childhood and the beginnings of independence associated with becoming an adult. Mitzvahs are occasions created to celebrate your child’s new spiritual maturity and family traditions with those you love. This is an opportunity to create a memory of shared happiness, joy, and anticipation of your child’s future that will last a lifetime, and act as a reward for their efforts. For that reason, selecting a special venue for the festivities is an important aspect of the planning process. A special venue creates an atmosphere that sets the tone for the celebrations. It may take the form of a more formal commemoration of new responsibilities, or a comforting display of the love and support that will become the basis of your child’s spiritual foundation.

Olá Ernani, Tudo bem? Conhece este Restaurante? Parece ser interessante. Melhores cumprimentos, Luisa

Chefs get their inspiration from so many sources. And Anthony  Goncalves is now taking his inspiration from chefs who hail from the country of his heritage, Portugal. He's the chef and owner of 42, an upscale dining room perched in a soaring tower of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in White Plains, New York. 42 offers diners awe-inspiring views of the Manhattan skyline that complement Goncalves' Mediterranean cuisine that's quite reflective of the flavors and ingredients found in the Iberian Peninsula, especially Portugal.

Classic, unpretentious and eclectic to the core; tapas is as traditional an Iberian way of life as the afternoon siesta. 'Tapas' liberally defines sumptuous Spanish micro-cuisine, hors d'oeuvres customarily enjoyed as part of an age-old social ritual with family and friends. Iberian staples such as Serrano ham, olives and herb-encrusted chunks of bread form the basal elements upon which nouveau experimentalism has built fascinating variation, lacing bold, Mediterranean flavors with Western, and even Asian elements. Thanks to the inspired creativity of US chefs, the trajectory of Spanish tapas as a weekend social ritual has borne a similar Iberian culture to the heart of New York.
