Remember, should you need to…shall we say PREPARE for the holidays, do join us at Fish tomorrow. $4 holiday cocktails should be first on [...]

Nothing says happy holidays like seafood on a treadmill

It’s really your choice: crab on a treadmill or shrimp on a treadmill. No, it’s not some new special Nico whipped up. It’s the College of Charleston making headlines on the Today Show. And might I say? It’s quite riveting. Here at PP today, we’re gathering for a Thanksgiving staff lunch. Potluck thankfulness if you will. [...]

Here’s a memory: it’s about 1978, and I give my Mom a Christmas ornament that I made with my own wee hands. It’s the top of a jelly jar, made into a picture frame. I glued holiday-themed fabric to the back and inside was my school picture. The whole sweet mess hung from some very [...]

Today in the PP LLC office, we got treated to quite the international lunch. First, our very own Staff Accountant Elena Hacker, she of the Polish variety, spoiled us ever so rotten with homemade pierogies. Holy mother of potatoes, they were amazing. Then, because we just can’t get enough, we ordered up the pho [...]

Check out the dog for equality! In community news, I ventured out for a march to protest Proposition 8 on Saturday afternoon and let me just say, I am just so proud of Charleston. The protest was peaceful, orderly and the community at large was super supportive: honks of support from all sides! P.S. How [...]

First of all, Happy Birthday to PP Managing Partner Randall Goldman. Our fabulous Pastry Chef Susie Ieronemo made the fantastic scone cake pictured above expressly for one Randall Goldman, founding member of the scone of the month club.

Like everyone else, I’ve been thinking a lot about the economy lately. I try my hardest to look at challenging times as an opportunity to try something new, offer help to someone who needs it, get out of my own head and take a long look around. Some days are better than others. Last night [...]

So, on Sunday, Lowndes Grove began its temporary transformation to FASHION CENTRAL for the Ralph Lauren Rugby photo and film shoot. Yesterday, the day began early: 5:30 am for me (earlier for our illustrious sous chef and event folks). I was directing pre-dawn traffic with my flashlight, decked out in my warmest jacket and hat.

Just got back from Lowndes Grove where I met up with some of the Ralph Lauren folks who came over to scope out the property for the Rugby photo shoot on Monday. A fine group of guys, might I add. (Sidebar: when I walked into the LG sales office prior to the Ralph Lauren crew’s [...]
