Nahr media and Vibrations PR collaborated on a recent video production documenting a dialogue and interesting conversation with different points of view around a dinner table at Fusion, Alhambra Casino & Shops. Dinner guests included singer Levi Silvanie, columnists Rona Coster and Arien Rasmijn, musician Sergio Jansen and singer songwriter Pearl Dumfries. They enjoyed great food and discussed music in general and their personal preferences in particular, while having appetizers and main courses. They never got to dessert. The footage will be aired on social media. Thank you Fusion for the gracious hospitality, and thank you Maria Silva for the opportunity to break bread with talented people.

www.landaruba.com, an imposter
I recently got an e-mail regarding investments in Aruba, courtesy of LandAruba website, but no, it was not the government, it was a Venezuelan-born developer ‘borrowing’ the government’s name for the purpose of presenting his own projects. The e-mail introduced Ankor condo hotel, and Solarium Suites exclusive realty, which I have never heard of. He also advertised: “Buy a piece of paradise, the BEST investment in Aruba at the lowest price,” and continued to say that his “projects are made by the best professionals in the business, with a unique style that sets them apart in the island.” He answered the POR QUE ARUBA and followed it with Razones Para Invertir en Aruba. It’s all good, but why under LandAruba’s name?? Apparently, Armando Mucci, has been here for a long time, but he did NOT learn not to over-promise and he did NOT learn not to infringe.
Pika’s corner offers local food
Pika’s Corner, on Palm Beach, with Chef Creutzberg is in the kitchen, is your best bet for local food at reasonable prices. Hubert Solagnier opened Pika’s Corner recently. He tells great stories, how he escaped disaster when he managed to successfully sell his Sport’s Bar at Brickell Bay, and how at a funeral, he heard that the old Palm Beach Refreshments restaurant was available for sale. He also met the maker of pallet wood furniture on time, when he needed tables and chairs for his new operation. In a nutshell, a lucky guy! Hubert now serves local cuisine, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, from that great location. So next time a visitor asks you where he/she can have local food, send them to Hubert for Sopi Carni or Galina Stoba, with Funchi or Pan Bati, and awa cu lamunchi. The chalk board has a list of daily special including stewed goat, tongue, tripe, cucumber or pork, and different soups every day. Keshi Yena Hubert says always sells out first. He is also planning a different, more detailed dinner menu for adventurous visitors who want to try local specialties! Sunday BBQ: Don’t forget he serves BBQ every Sunday.
