TAMPA, Fla., June 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
The Dan (formerly known as the Sapphire Lounge) opened its doors in Downtown Tampa, inside the historic Floridan Palace Hotel, this spring. The Dan is a modern fusion of Gulf Coast cuisine and old-school speakeasies. The menu can be described as “Gulf coastal with soul” and highlights both local ingredients and classic dishes, balancing current with the familiar. A variety of raw oysters, steaks, and local seafood is also featured alongside a historically-inspired cocktail program. 

“We’re thrilled to bring a unique dining experience to NoDo, an epicenter of culture and nightlife in downtown Tampa. Our team has worked hard to create an environment unlike any other, and we’re excited to share it with Tampa Bay locals and hotel guests alike,” says Crystal Rivera, General Manager of Floridan Palace Hotel. 

At the bar, guests can find specialty libations such as the Green Door, So We Beat On, and Bourbon Street Blues. The cocktail menu also features timeless cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Negroni, Espresso Martini, and Sazerac. The Dan provides guests with a cotton candy treat when the check is dropped as a sweet send off. It also serves as garnish for The Dan’s signature Champagne Cocktail. 

foBT Hospitality, a restaurant consulting firm based in New York City, is responsible for the reimagined concept at the historic hotel. The Dan serves dinner seven days a week, weekday lunch, and will soon offer weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Interior lighting is soft and the music played is a lively 1920s jazz tune with a familiar beat.

“The renovation set out to create a captivating experience that celebrates the 1920s’ era and the spirit of the building’s origination,” says Christina Kirkpatrick, Senior Designer at Jacki Arena Interiors. “It features a fully refurbished historic bar, new floor, wall, and ceiling finishes. All new furniture including custom lounge-style banquettes with beautiful tufting and integrated lights that will span the entire distance of both window walls. A special ceiling feature along the center of the space highlights new seating zones in the restaurant’s new layout. Along the perimeter, there are new glamorous light fixtures to add liveliness and luster to the space.”

‘The Dan’ Makes Its Debut in Downtown Tampa This Spring

The post ‘The Dan’ Makes Its Debut in Downtown Tampa This Spring first appeared on TREND MAG.

Born of heart and soul, Sarah ushers in a new image and new music to match with the arrival of her anticipated single. Exploring the ins and outs of life, Rexford narrates her exciting journey within an intimate lens of connectedness and bare emotion.

LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Today, Sarah Tomley lets the world know that ‘things are different now’ as she dives headfirst into the complexities of real life, the burdens of love and the joy of metamorphosis. Introducing fans to her elevated persona, “Rexford”. The emergence of Rexford marks a moment in Sarah’s career where she is pulling from deep within. Writing from a space of truth and raw power in order to share the fullness of her entire world with fans.

Marrying the essence of then and the spirit of now, Rexford isn’t running away from the moments that shaped her but embracing the scars that made her. Rising from the bricks and rubble of broken structures to being present in this current state of “home”. Rexford is a symbolic representation of the place that allowed her to grow.

In this artistic rebirth emerges “One Horse Town”, which is her newest release out on all platforms today. Co-written and produced by “Twin Shadow”, the track is about releasing the things that you’ve outgrown yet empathetically understanding the purpose it had in your journey.

Rexford’s work will encompass an ethereal display of imperfect beauty as it swells with waves of realness and relatability. The music is a dialogue of risk-takers having a human experience in a world that values “stuff” over “soul”. 

“I think this new journey is really a polaroid of feelings rather than an image of glamour. The evolution of this awakened version has helped me to heal my inner child and get back to the core of me,” as Sarah reflects on “Rexford”.

“Rexford” breathes new life into Sarah’s artistry. An inalienable piece of what has always been there just hidden under the dust of this world’s expectations. This exciting chapter will drag you out of the middle of that “one-horse town” of shackled uncertainty and into a universe of cathartic release.
