St George's Day Bank Holiday Takes Shape at Interflora.co.uk
In recent years there's been a revival in the celebration of St George's Day with many brewers and public houses campaigning for the day to become a Bank Holiday with celebrations along the same lines as St Patrick's Day. (PRWEB) April 19, 2007 -- Despite him being England's patron saint for almost the last 600 years, there's no official Bank Holiday to mark St. George's Day and very little is actually known about the real St George and why we'll be celebrating him on April 23rd. Although Interflora cannot enact a Bank Holiday for the celebration of St George's Day, they have put together a selection of their favourite gifts; including bouquets of roses, the flower traditionally worn as a buttonhole on St. George's Day, plus a fine selection of gourmet gifts ideal for any celebration.
Promising signs
LOOK around compact Rosalie Village and you may begin to think the locals are obsessed by their stomachs. Almost every business there is food-related. There is a gelateria, a pizzeria, a fish and chip shop, a sushi cafe, two bottle shops, a Chinese takeaway, an Indian restaurant, a bar, a Thai restaurant, an Asian restaurant, an Italian restaurant, a dessert cafe, a deli and a gourmet butcher. Sandwiched between the Blu Grotto and the Indian Taj Restaurant, Indigo Bar and Bistro has been operating unintentionally undercover since before Christmas, awaiting their new signage since taking over from the former Lucid Juice Bar. I mistakenly believed it was a spanking new place when the new logos went up just before Easter. It's modern and fresh-looking, with most of the seating in a well-protected area outside.

Le Cook Store offers culinary tools, demonstration
Are you a culinary genius but lack the appropriate kitchen appliances to prepare the banquet of which you've always dreamed?
Le Cook Store, located at 911 Third Ave., across from Pullman Square, has all the tools and cookware any amateur gourmet chef could ever want.
Apart from its wide selection of gastronomic gadgets, Le Cook Store also offers cooking demonstrations in its built-in kitchen.
The store is in its fourth month of operation, and Shawn Bresnahan, manager and operating partner of the store, said they have had good business.
"We've done very well," Bresnahan said. "We've actually had a lot of people through the doors."
The store is located next to the Marshall Community and Technical College Culinary & Cooking Institute, and although the two establishments occasionally work together for mutual gain, they are not a single entity.
