Gelato Festival is coming back to America in 2018 at LSP!!!

Gelato Festival World Masters is the most important event dedicated to Artisan Italian Gelato. It is a challenge of Gelato Chefs that recognizes the greatest flavors through competition.

During the course of the next 3 years, 5 thousand Gelato Chefs from all over the world, will be competing against one another for a chance to participate in the 2021 grand finals in Italy. Only the best 36 gelato chefs will remain to battle for the title of Gelato Festival World Master.

In the United States, Gelato Festival America selects the best gelato chefs through 24 touring festivals, spread over 3 years, with an American final in 2021 that will grant access to the world finals.

The mission of Gelato Festival America is to spread the culture of Artisan Italian Gelato. Born in Florence, Italy, Gelato Festival is an all-star line up where the biggest names in Gelato making compete against one another with a one-time flavor they have created just for the festival.

The event gives visitors the opportunity to experience the secrets of high-quality gelato, learn about the production techniques by watching the Artisans at work in the ‘laboratory’, and taste all the competing flavors, voting for their favorite one.

The Gelato School is where show cooking demonstrations revolving around the world of gelato take place as well as fun activities for both adults and kids.

After four events in 2017, Gelato Festival returns to the US with eight festivals all around the Country: Jersey City, Boulder, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Scottsdale and Tucson. Artisans and chefs will go through a rigorous selection process in order to compete in one of these eight stages. with a unique, one-time flavor specially created for the Gelato Festival. DETAILS

via A Beautiful Mess – We’re still hard at work on our studio house—one mini space at a time. This week we completed two small spaces (double yay!), and today we’re teaming up with Martha Stewart Living at The Home Depot to share a few tips for styling an entry space.

But first, I must confess. I’m the worst at mini spaces. You know the ones. Too small to be a room, but still in need of decor and organization. I put them off and eventually get used to their half-finished status. They’re my blind spot.

But not this time! This time things are different. And you know what? I’m loving it. Our new entry space is inviting and organized. Since it’s the first thing we see when we walk through those doors every morning, I think of this space as our friendliest spot in the house, always waving “hell-oo-ooo!”

Named the Townhome Collection at Soho Lofts, the exclusive offering of just eight loft-style residences boasts a number of desirable features that make it unique in Jersey City’s rental market, including private street entrances, first-floor master bedroom suites, separate den/office space, open living/dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, huge walk-in closets and large laundry rooms with side-by-side washer/dryer and utility sink.  Best of all, the homes provide the added benefit of the overall Soho Lofts rental community, providing residents access to a long list of resort-style indoor and outdoor amenities and hotel-like services.

Each floorplan offered in the Townhome Collection is distinct with an interior layout all its own.  The upscale three-, four- and five-bedroom residences offer 4 to 4.5 bathrooms and range from a 2,371 square-feet to well over 3,000 square-feet.  The apartments are priced from $6,995.
