B-Come a Legend Contest Winner!
 
Congratulations to Nate V. for winning our first B-Come a Legend contest! 
 
Nate's girlfriend, Karen H., nominated Nate because "he has worked thousands of hours to accomplish a childhood dream:  to fly!"
 
You must come in between May 3, 2008  and May 31, 2008 to try this mouth-watering flat bread, affectionately called the "Flyboy Flat bread" in Nate's honor!
It is made up of fresh mozzarella cheese sprinkled with blue cheese, shredded ham and bacon crumbles.
 
Thanks to everyone who submitted nominations (they are still in the hopper!) and congratulations Nate on getting your pilot's license!

What else could we ask for other than local, fresh and organic beer?  Nothing!  That's exactly what Orlando Brewing delivers.  Right to our doorstep, in a refrigerated van!  Did you know that Orlando Brewing is the only organic certified brewery in the Southeast U.S.?  And even better yet, besides enjoying a cold one (or 2 or 3)  with us in the cafe, you can enjoy 6 cold ones at home, too!  We retail "Mix-n-Match" 6-packs for only $10.
 
Get Your Date Night Baskets at B3!

Greetings!
 
A lot has happened during our first month of business!  One of the highlights was being designated by the City of Orlando as an Orlando Green Business.  To get this, our Team had to go through training on Best Management Practices, we had an on-site inspection by City staff and took a test.  This is part of our on-going commitment to protect the environment and increase awareness on how to positively impact the surrounding community.
 
The month of May brings the first of the Grand Tours...the Giro d' Italia!  We will be featuring 4 great Italian wines (2 reds and 2 whites) and of course, Peroni, Italy's most famous beer.  In addition to these drinks, we will be serving a vegetarian Tomato Florentine soup!
 
This month we are also celebrating Cinco de Mayo with white and red Sangrias - a perfect refresher as the temperature rises! We are also excited to announce that we will be serving a new Baja Chicken Enchilada soup.
 
While on the subject of our tasty fares, have you tried our first seasonal sandwich and salad yet?  If not, come on in for our juicy and refreshing strawberry salad or the marinated portabello mushroom panini.  They are only here for a limited time! 
 
We have some great celebrations coming up...so grab your calendar and keep on reading!

Meet Our New Local Artist! 

Brian - photo 
Please join us in welcoming our new Local Artist, Brian Kulbaba.  Brian has a great sense of creativity and expression which comes through in his "experimental" artwork.  We think Brian's work compliments the flow and ambiance of the cafe very nicely.  We can't wait for you to see it!
 
We will be hosting an Open House this Friday, May 2, 2008 starting at 7:00 PM.  Not only will you have the opportunity to meet Brian in person, but you can indulge in HAPPY HOUR ($1 off beer, wine and Lite Bites) with your friends.  And to top all these festivities off, we are excited to announce that Adam Graney will be our guest DJ!  Adam will be spinning lounge tunes to make this Happy Hour a not-to-miss event.  If you were at the Grand Opening, you know how much fun our parties can be.  B seen at B3!

Get ready for a fun evening on Friday, May 30, 2008!  Starting at 8:30 PM, we will be wowed by the acoustic trio, Dennis, Jeff and Bari, who will be playing a great variety of music including gospel, country, folk, funk and pop. Their arrangements involve lots of harmony and a unique blend of instruments including: guitar, bass guitar, slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, accordian, bongos, cajon (a wooden box drum), African drum and a variety of other percussive instruments.  Make sure you get to B3 early for a great seat!
