32nd Atlantic City Boat Show

If all this snow and frigid temperatures has you dreaming about summertime fun out on the water, you can head somewhere to fuel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or perhaps fulfill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those dreams. The 32nd Atlantic City Boat Show takes place at the Atlantic City Convention Center Wednesday, Feb. 2, to Sunday, Feb. 6.

The Marine Marketplace, a 93,000 square feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;show within the show,â&#x20AC;? features 440 booths showcasing all the latest in marine technology, engines, accessories, nautical gifts, and more. You can also check out the Miss Geico, one of the fastest racing powerboats in the world, confirmed by its five world championships, five national championships and as the holder of four world speed record runs. The show hours are Wed.-Fri., Feb. 2-4, 11am-8pm; Sat., Feb. 5, 10am-8pm; Sun., Feb. 6, 10am-5pm. General admission tickets: adult, $12; ages 15 and younger free with a paid adult admission.

Soul Food with a Side of Jazz

Apparently Reddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant was not satisfied with having merely brought Atlantic City its most authentic soul-food establishment of the new millennium last September. Now chef Carl Redding is bringing in soul foodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most appropriate embellishment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; live, worldclass jazz. Dubbed the JazzAlive! Series, the first event will be on Thursday, Feb. 8, at Reddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (corner of Pacific and Kentucky avenues) and will feature Joey DeFrancesco, who has been hailed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;finest jazz organist on the planet.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thrilled that Reddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant is able to bring such top quality live jazz to Atlantic City, and I am doubly thrilled that master jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco is the artist who will be kicking off our series,â&#x20AC;? says Redding, also known as the Godfather of Soul Food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So strap on your jazz chops and get ready to be served up a succulent jazz soul buffet.â&#x20AC;? DeFrancesco comes from a musical family, having shown a strong interest in the organ at age four. At age 16 he signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, and was largely responsible for the resurgence of the Hammond B-3 organâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound in popular music. DeFrancesco toured in Europe with jazz great Miles Davis in the late 1980s, and formed his own quartet at age 18. He is currently working on a new release that features the music of Michael Jackson, entitled Never Can Say Goodbye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In one of the largest entertainment meccas in the country, the one genre that has been neglected has been top-shelf jazz,â&#x20AC;? says music series and Grammy award-winning producer Joe Donofrio of Brigantine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my goal to present some of the world class artists at Reddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ray Schweibert

Not just another bearded bard living out in the country and recording modern-day indie music, Sean Rowe has been working towards and waiting for this moment for many years, toiling as a singer-songwriter. Magic, his major label debut was officially released this month on the Anti- label. It could easily become the best album of the year and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even close to spring. Roweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extraordinary set of songs shows off his truly deep and unique voice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mix of classic Springsteen, Greg Brown, latter-day Gil Scott-Heron and a sprinkle of Leonard Cohen sensibility and sorrow. It all blends perfectly with the poetry that are his lyrics. Buy now; so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sorry later.

Alluring Alizma

The identical triplets from Poland will be performing at The Pool at Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Saturday night

By Ray Schweibert

T

HEY MAY SHARE ONE BIRTHDAY AND ONE acronym for their professional appearances, but Alizma is far more than just another trio of pretty faces.

The three Okapiec sisters are formally educated, classically trained violinists from Poland, born about 10 minutes apart, who have performed extensively around the world, most recently at gala and corporate events in and around their adopted home of Las Vegas.

This Saturday night, Jan. 29, Alizma (a fusion of their three first names, Aleksandra, Izabela and Monika) will be performing songs from their forthcoming debut album and mingling with guests of The Pool at Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a special Pool After Dark event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically what I do on a week-to-week basis is look for new, unique and exciting talent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something creative and out-of-the-box that normal nightclubs typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do,â&#x20AC;? says Howard Weiss, director of The Pool and nightlife operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I received some good feedback about Alizma from some of my connections in Las Vegas [where Weiss operated nightclubs prior to coming to Atlantic City], and I had never done three violinists in a nightclub before, so I said letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go for it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I had never done three violinists in a nightclub before, so I said letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go for it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Between song sets on The Poolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main stage, the sisters will have their own VIP cabana where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mingle and take pictures with guests while Emcee Ringo performs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just from talking to people and having seen a tape of them on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent, where people really liked them, they seemed like a good fit.â&#x20AC;?

According to their Web site (alizma.com), the sisters were encouraged to take up music at an early age by their mother, Halina, studying violin and music theory.

They came to the United States as exchange students at age 15, each attended different high schools in different states, then returned and graduated from the same Wilmington, Delaware high school after their initial, one-year U.S. arrangement expired. After high school graduation they were awarded full music scholarships to Shenandoah University in Virginia, earning Bachelors degrees there before furthering their educations at Azusa Pacific University in California, earning Masters degrees in violin performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently working on our first official album and pursuing our passion of song writing,â&#x20AC;? they say on their Web site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[2010] was a year of success filled with many travels and performances all over the world.

New Members Kozak Won’t Disappear Play $100, Get up to $200 Slot Dollars.

A

S A PR O FESSIO N A L MA GI CI A N for over 30 years, Paul Kozak has hundreds of tricks up his sleeve, including one where he literally conjures a standard-sized bowling ball out of thin air and has it fall out of a folded newspaper.

But you won’t see Kozak’s most impressive trick on stage. The veteran magician’s neatest feat has been beating the armchair odds-makers who predicted his familyfriendly early evening show in Atlantic City would fail.

Performing at a time when most people are just sitting down to dinner was an experiment, he admits. And while he rarely plays to a packed house during the week at the Comedy Stop in The Quarter at the Tropicana, Kozak, who left a long-time Las Vegas gig to relocate on Atlantic City a little

over two years ago, is still making a go of it, especially on weekends.

“When I first came here and observed the market, I clearly saw a niche for myself,” Kozak says. “It’s paid off in spades.”

Sometimes, it takes an outside point of view to put things into perspective. When Kozak began toying with the idea of setting up shop in Atlantic City, he noticed that outside the summer season, there was little weekday entertainment in the casinos besides the comedy clubs at the Tropicana and the Borgata.

But he knew there was a captive audience, too. Just because there was no weekday entertainment didn’t mean there was no one staying in Atlantic City’s 11 casino hotels plus the non-casino properties.

“You’ve got plenty of people here on packages and promotions and conventions, so there’s a built-in audience,” says Kozak, a Pittsburgh native who’s about to receive his fourth Merlin Award — one of magic’s highest honors — as International Comedy Magician of the Decade.

Kozak’s strategy to draw people to the Comedy Stop with a 6pm show seems to be working. The entertainer, who polls his audiences to see where they’re from, says 80 percent of the people who catch his show come from properties other than the Tropicana.

Relocating to Atlantic City was “the

best decision of my career,” he says, because even in a down economy he’s still working.

“I’ve got [fellow magicians] in Las Vegas who I consider to be 10 times more talented than me, and they haven’t worked in two years,” he observes during a recent phone call.

Although his magic and comedy shows can be family friendly, Kozak adjusts his material to fit the crowd.

“I’ve been doing this for 33 years, and because I came out of the comedy clubs I’m constantly writing material, so I’ve got hours and hours of material I can use, depending on the audience,” he explains.

When there aren’t kids in the house, Kozak will venture into mature territory, but only after he gets the blessings to get a little risqué from the audience.

“I’m kind of old school about that,” says the former Navy cryptographer.

Equally old school in his approach to his work is the fact that he’ll never dog a show just because there’s a small crowd. Early in his run at the Comedy Stop, he went on stage oen night in front of exactly two people, a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary. “I did my full show for them, didn’t hold anything back,” he recalls.

“And they were so thrilled that I did that that they’ve been sending people to see my show ever since.”

Kozak, who picked up magic from reading a book while on guard duty in the Navy, began his career working comedy clubs in Pittsburgh. As he honed his magic skills and sharpened his comedy material, he began landing bigger jobs and headlined in prestigious venues domestically and abroad, including a command performance for Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana at the London Palladium.

But for all of his awards and his success, Kozak has found a home in Atlantic City.

He says he’s looking forward to a long run in town.

“I’ve got sand in my shoes,” he says, making it clear he prefers the beach sand of the Jersey shore to the desert sand of Nevada. N

T’S NOT SOMETHING YOU expect to say often about our Governor, but in the world of online poker, Chris Christie’s silence is deafening.

The New Jersey State Legislature has sent Gov. Christie several bills designed to help Atlantic City’s ailing gambling interests, including a bill that would make New Jersey the first state to allow and regulate online gaming, albeit only to New Jersey residents.

The move would be through Atlantic City casinos and would allow a number of online casino games. But let’s face it, online gaming is about poker.

Christie, however, has not said a word about the proposal, setting off a lot of speculation as to whether he’ll even sign the bill. Meanwhile, Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford has voiced opposition to some of the other bills sent to Christie, such as the designation of a state-run tourist district in the city (through the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority) saying that the locals have been shut out of the process.

And still, Christie isn’t saying much about those bills either.

In light of that, some online gaming advocates are starting to talk of the bill as if it’s a done deal, hoping that online gaming could be up and running by the end of 2011.

Yet they know that Christie upset that timetable quickly.

Take this quote from Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association chairman Joe Brennan Jr. speaking to the gaming news site Poker News Daily.

“At this time, there’s really no definitive way to say what way the governor is going to go on this,” Brennan says.

“That’s not for a lack of trying. This governor keeps his cards close. He wants to know the downside of issues. He’s very thoughtful with this and once he makes a decision, he’s a real man of action. So we obviously want his support. We want his signature and we’re doing everything we can in order to help him make a favorable decision.”

Some pundits believe that Christie, who may have presidential aspirations, may be keeping quiet so as not to be connected to online gambling. He could simply wait 45 days on the bill and it would become law without his signature.

However it goes down, there’s an entire industry on pins and needles waiting for the word, any word, from the Governor.

Back in the city’s brick and mortar rooms, The Borgata Winter Open has gotten off to a solid start despite frigid weather during the city’s slowest time of the year.

The opening event of the Winter Open, which began Wed. Jan. 19, attracted 1,472 players. That’s a little off last year’s opening figures, which topped 1,500, but the event was a little more expensive with a $500 + $60 buy-in. Last year’s first event was a $350 buy-in.

The extra money, however, set a record for a Winter Open first event with a $736,000 prize pool.

The winner was newcomer Alex Rocha, who takes home a $150,850 cash.

Rocha, of Setauket, N.Y., on Long Island, appears to be exploding onto the Atlantic City scene as he has one other listed cash, a $33,000 first place at the Harrah’s Resort WSOP circuit event last month. The 21-year-old won a ring in a $350 No Limit event.

So that’s kind of a hot streak.

Event 2 of the open also provided a little star power as Steve Dannenman, who has more than $4.5 million in tournament wins, picked up a victory.

Dannenman won $37,679 in the $300 buy-in tournament after busting out of the opening event. The event attracted 521 players for a $156,000 prize pool.

Since then, the open has seen some pretty solid player turnout, even if it’s not exactly record setting.

Saturday’s 1,000 buy-in No Limit tournament, the highest buy-in so far for the open, drew a pretty healthy 336 players and, of course, a $336,000 prize pool.

Event 8 of the tournament, a $400 buyin that began Sunday, attracted 619 players and a prize pool of $247,600.

Since then, other events have consistently passed 300 players.

Considering the increased competition for the city’s poker rooms in Pennsylvania and Delaware and the fact that temperatures in the city lately have rivaled Nome, Alaska, the fields seem solid.

For January in Atlantic City, that’s pretty good action. N

— which is pretty much every one of them in the Trop. On top of that, the celebration encompasses all kinds of goodies such as live music, DJs, line dances, and, best of all, shopping specials! How can you go wrong? Plus, while you’re at the Trop, make sure to find out the dates and times of the revue show Marc Antonelli” From Unknown to Irresistible. What a dynamic voice and fabulous performance he puts on for his guests.

You’ll be delighted to hear the wide range of genres he covers, from jazz and opera to pop and rock ‘n’ roll. The Tropicana showroom has the pleasure of presenting this show on select dates to Feb. 26, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to see him.

As long as you’re all hyped up from the Tropicana festivities, keep the momentum rolling into Saturday night with the production of Tango Fire at the Stockton Performing Arts Center at 7:30pm. The group Estampas Portenas will perform a journey through the history of tango, which is dubbed as the world’s most alluring and exciting dance.

And according to history-of-tango.com, the evolution of this dance has profound implications for the way we dance today.

Interestingly enough, for the first century of its history, while tango music struggled for and then achieved respectability, the dance was still neglected by historians and aca-

demics. Pretty interesting stuff, but thankfully we can now appreciate this art form right here in our own backyards.

Keeping up with the dancing theme, why not head over to Temple Beth El in Margate on Sunday night to hear the 17-piece Black Magic Swing Band, which has created a lot of buzz in our area through their expert sounds and, of course, through their leader Denise Black. From 7-10pm you can dance to your heart’s content to the lovely big-band sounds. With the mission to “bring back the great music of the swing era,” these talented musicians will be encouraging all to get into swing dancing and perpetuating fun. To learn more about this lovely music group, check out their website at blackmagicswingband.com.

We’ll allow you to take a break on Monday, but starting Tuesday, Feb. 1, and going through Saturday every week, you are in for a really unique treat. Resorts Casino Hotel is now the home of Atlantic City’s own Blanche the Singing Bartender at 25 Hours Lounge. Yes that’s right, she will be singing her heart at night, all the while taking your order, mixing your drink and ringing up the tab as well.

Having been singing across the country for 20 — and bartending for 18 of those years — you’ll be mightily impressed by this multi-tasking talent, and it’s a great place to take a date. And get used to the singing bartender idea, because Resorts plans to bring in similar entertainment with a 1920s flair throughout the year.

All in all, Atlantic City is constantly providing amazing entertainment and iconsistently offering quality food and great accommodations within the casinos and local venues.

5 Questions With... Sevendust

By Alison Baxter

S

EVENDUST, THE HEAVY-METAL band from Atlanta, will be hitting Atlantic City with Disturbed, Korn and In This Moment for the Monster Energy Music as a Weapon Tour on Sunday, Jan. 30, at the House of Blues at Showboat. Founded in 1994, Sevendust released its eighth studio album, Cold Day Memory last April. Atlantic City Weekly got the chance to talk with Lajon Witherspoon, lead vocalist of the band, about its newest album, the tour and what it’s like to be playing and rocking out shows 15 years in to the band’s career. Because, as Witherspoon says, that’s what it’s all about, “to still be out there playing and having people love the songs, being able to go on this journey that has gone on that’s been like this magical dream that I’ve had, just to be here still.”

How do you like playing in New Jersey?

Yes it’s a rocking tour; it’s been incredible every night and we look forward to coming to Atlantic City. As long as we’ve been coming through that area, it’s like family when we get on that side of town.

It’s been really cool, we’ve played there since the very beginning of our career, that whole Atlantic City area has been bangin’ for us. I actually consider some of our shows there like a family reunion.

known those guys forever, [we’ve] grown up with those guys. And Korn, which we’ve never toured with, we’ve only played like radio shows, they’re really cool. It was Jonathan’s birthday, the singer of Korn, and we took him a cake on his bus last night. You know, we’ve got a good brotherhood. You remember those kinds of tours.

Sevendust is on the bill with Korn, Disturbed and In This Moment Jan. 30 at the HOB.

Well Clint Lowry is back in the band, Do you have a favorite memory of a past tour, our original guitar player, which is really or a favorite person you’ve worked with? cool [to] get back to the original sound of Last tour went really well with us. It was Do you have a favorite song to perform?

I think it’s the song “Splinter.” We open up Sevendust. We recorded it with Johnny K with Shinedown [and] they’re like our with it and it’s off the new album Cold Day in Chicago, the weather was about like it brothers. It’s always cool when the people Memory. It just gets everyone crazy. That’s is right now in Rochester, New York: it’s you’re playing with are close, you know, one of my favorite songs to play right now. snowing, freezing cold, no one wants to be [like] family. That’s what it was like to be That and “Unraveling” and we’re about to outside. I think it made us focus on what out with Shinedown. Disturbed, we’ve bring out a single “Last Breath.”

What’s up next for Sevendust?

We’re always writing music. John [Connelly] has already got six or seven songs already waiting to be worked on.

We’re just throwing around ideas, but, you know, we’re just going to be so busy.

Let’s see, we’ll do this for four weeks and take off for a few days, 10 days, and then we’ll go to Australia to do the Soundwave tour, which is going to be incredible with great bands like Iron Maiden, Stone Sour [and] you name it, they’re going to be on the bill, and I’m really interested to see how they’re going to do it because it’s all the same bands at every show — 30 bands. Brisbane, Sydney, to Melbourne, you name it. I love it. And then we’ll come back and immediately get back on the second leg of the Weapons tour and continue rocking it out. ÊN see more online @

ASK THE GEATOR

Memories for Sale?

By Jerry Blavat

O

NCE AGAIN, GREETINGS AND salutations. Unfortunately for those who have been trying to get tickets to see the Geator at the Kimmel Center with Darlene Love, Freda Payne, and the Duprees this Saturday night, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely sold out. Look for our next show on May 8 with a special Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day tribute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thinking about Frankie Avalon, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, and Bobby Rydell. And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re home this Saturday evening, tune in to the Geatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues Express on WXPN from 6-7pm for a special salute to artists and labels from the West Coast. Many folks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that many familiar songs we heard on the East Coast were covers of originals from west of the

Every year the rumor surfaces that Memories in Margate is for sale. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe everything you hear.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having a friendly disagreement with my husband, who says that Quincy Jones produced Lesley Goreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits. I thought I recalled reading that it was John Madara.

Can you settle this for us? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lana You probably read that Johnny Madara, along with Dave White, wrote Lesleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groundbreaking song â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Own Me.â&#x20AC;? But your husband is right. Quincy was Lesleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer starting with her very first hit single, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Party.â&#x20AC;? It was also Quincyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pop hit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before that, he was known as a jazz artist, composer, producer, and arranger.

Join us on Facebook:

Originally recorded on the Val label in 1964, it was picked up by Warner Brothers in 1965, but as great as the record was, it never made it big on the national charts.

It was a hit in several markets, including the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home town of Pittsburgh, where it was No. 1. George Goodman, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer, arranger, and promoter, was one of musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic premature deaths, and I believe the other members, Melvin Peters and Rodney Williams, went on to join other groups.

Just curious, I heard that Memories is up for sale. I hope not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Margate landmark and a great place to spend Saturday night down the shore. Say it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John S. Every year the rumor resurfaces that Memories is up for sale. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe everything that you hear. I agree that Memories is a part of the history of Margate and I have no immediate plans for that to end.

Answer to trivia: The Pawnbroker. It was the first of dozens of films Quincy scored, including In Cold Blood, In the Heat of the Night, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. N

Under the direction of chef Lucas Manteca, Cape Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ebbitt Room is serving a hearty bill of fare pared down for winter.

OOKING WELL RESTED AND tanned one day removed from a fortnightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sojourn to his South American homeland, chef Lucas Manteca appears to have comfortably settled into the position of executive chef at Cape Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ebbitt Room.

Approaching his two-year anniversary in this post, the 34-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 2009 Atlantic City Weekly Top 40 Under 40 honoree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his worldly sensibilities now permeate throughout Cape Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Virginia Hotel-based restaurant.

The bill of fare, pared down for winter, still tilts heavily toward legacy ingredients â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hearts of palm, plantain chips and a Puerto Rican mojo clinging to ahi tuna tartare, coconut sweet potato puree adorning crab cakes and a chili/red wine poached pear alongside New York strip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while showing admirable signs of restraint.

Like our first offering, stone crab salad speckled by shards of avocado, star fruit and herbs tossed gently with a tricky smoked curry chili vinaigrette. Carefully ladled, the intense, auburn-hued liquid added contrast and complexity without overwhelming Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite sustainable seafood.

Our dining partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fennel, apple and celery root salad was generously portioned on a long, narrow plate. Shaved slices of those three elements, each in varying shades of green arranged atop peppery arugula, robust Roquefort and roasted hazelnuts finished with a blood orange dressing.

That kind of attention to detail has

Manteca always been the hallmark of Mantecaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchises. Beginning in 2005 at Sea Salt, his seminal Stone Harbor BYOB, the blonde Argentinean, like a sort of culinary Icarus, has never been shy about flying perilously close to the sun.

This kind of risk-taking we can live with, especially when it results in items like our middle courses, seared scallops and calamari. Those pedestrian descriptions do no justice to the level of skill and finesse demonstrated.

The calamari included cool, uneven shapes indicating use of fresh-cut, not processed, squid. Lightly fried and striped with a lime-ginger aioli, these nearly naked mollusks reminded us that when working with superior seafood, less really is often more.

As for the scallops, two of day boat size and quality were seared and lounged between a roasted cauliflower puree and orange endive compote. A toss of pistachios and mache added crunch and color.

Today, Manteca, along with wife Deanna and chef Carlos Barroz, continues to operate seasonal eateries Quahogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seafood Shack and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accompanying Taco Shop in Stone Harbor. The most recent addition to their portfolio is Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hoof & Fin, open in the Queens Village neighborhood since last spring.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow that to distract from the fact that the Ebbitt Room remains the crowning jewel in Mantecaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mantle.

Commenting on the difficulty he faced replacing another well-respected local chef, Andrew Carty, he allows, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this business

you cannot make everyone happy, but you have to be willing to try.â&#x20AC;?

That effort has earned him responsibility for two other facilities owned by Cape Resorts Group here in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original seashore town, Congress Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Pig Tavern and casual eatery The Rusty Nail.

Our entrees were both fish, one Arctic char filet and the other a whole Branzino, a Mediterranean sea bass. The char, a pale pink square served skin up, rested above this eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most glamorous creation, risotto nero. Nutty carnaroli rice, doused with black squid ink and diced braised pork belly. The indigo blend resembled caviar on the fork and exploded with vivid, wildly inventive flavors when consumed.

The char itself was, like calamari, presented mid-rare. We liked this show of appreciation for the subtle nature of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most northern-dwelling freshwater species. Its flesh, soft and yielding, tasted sparkling clean, no doubt a reflection of habitat. The Branzino, perhaps a pound and half in size, had been stuffed with fennel and thyme then pan-roasted. Served alongside was a domed shape of orzo salad, studded with chunks of feta and olives, the twin elements fashioning a well-composed plate, authentic in geography.

An eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special dessert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; recommended by a knowledgeable friend who had dined earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sticky toffee pudding with dates and walnuts was expertly prepared.

The rich, caramel cake was light in composition, but layered with textures, delivered warm and glossy. N E-mail Frank Gabriel at fgabriel@acweekly.com

THE CITY BEAT

Lauryn Hill Unsaturated

By Raymond Tyler

OST WOULD AGREE THAT many performers (at least on TV) would rather be famous than actually be good at anything. Then you have performers and others in the spotlight who are always desperately trying to extend their fame another 15 minutes.

Hence you have actors, singers, etc., who are famous for being famous, getting arrested several times, releasing sex tapes, and doing anything — except helping their fellow man — to get noticed by TMZ. Even in music, an industry about singing and songwriting, record companies won’t sign artists unless they can sell a back story worthy of American Idol or Entertainment Tonight.

Enter singer-songwriter Lauryn Hill, or should we say re-enter. Hill returns to this new “monkey see-monkey do” world of mainstream music/media where musical performers are more disposable than when The Monkees were put together to get TV

ing to do with the fact that Hill’s songs have inspired other priceless artists such as Jill Scott.

We may never know how many tattoos she has or what is true about her life in all of the tabloid stories, but we do know she’ll her craft. be in Atlantic City for a very rare appearYes, Hill has ance on Saturday night. I will be at the a back story as House Blues for Lauryn Hill; not because I juicy and colorsaw her fight off paparazzi, but because her ful as any you’d read in People. As a member of New Jersey- songs have made and continue to make based hip-hop act The Fugees, she helped deep impressions on my life.

See Hill at the House of Blues this ’90s hip-hop compete with, and some Saturday because she’s an amazingly giftwould say surpass, the hip-hop music of the ’80s. The Fugees remained a largely ed talent. And unlike the more famous underground hip-hop group until Hill performers, you don’t see or hear Hill’s sang on the remake of Roberta Flack’s unique talent everyday.

ratings and sell records. This Saturday, Jan. 29, after many years of not perfoming — anywhere — Hill brings her own blend of blues, hip-hop, and ground-breaking acoustic soul to the stage at the House of Blues at Showboat in Atlantic City.

The last time most of us saw Lauryn Hill, she was walking off stage holding her five Grammys for her first solo recording The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. Hill’s pile of hardware that night in 1999 included awards for Best New Artist and Album of the Year.

After that night you would be hard pressed to find evidence that Hill ever cared about being famous anymore. In fact, any evidence of anything Hill has done outside of a recording booth has been hard to grasp. Do not be fooled into thinking Hill is famous for avoiding the spotlight. She may be the hardest photo to get, but once she’s on stage you can and a lot of other garbage that has nothtell that she’s a natural talent who knows

BYOB & Ocean City: Has Its Time Come?

Local restaurant and business owners are looking for a change in the longtime ban on bringing wine and beer to city eateries.

By Michael Pritchard

C

Join us on Facebook:

‘This city really can’t afford to function as a five-month town anymore. These businesses need help.’ has said that he doesn’t feel the change would provide a boost to city businesses, especially as many restaurants fail even with liquor licenses.

But more importantly, he feels the change would hurt to city’s “family” image.

For the restaurant association, which represents more than 50 restaurants and is now taking up the fight, the “family image” argument may be the most difficult to overcome.

“We know that there is going to be opposition to this and that’s fine,” says Scull. “But we want to make sure that the opposition is properly informed about this. For example, the state has strict laws on BYOB and how it is to be implemented. We’re talking about wine and beer, not liquor. It does get a little insulting when people suggest that business owners like myself couldn’t regulate this and control what is going on.

“And more importantly, there is drinking in this town,” he says. “People bring in alcohol daily. It’s simply not fair that you can drink in some places in the city and then not others.”

Most importantly for the association, local businesses need help attracting customers in the nonsummer months.

“I think if more people are drawn into the downtown because they can now have a glass of wine with their

bers, such as ice cream parlors and candy shops, wouldn’t even participate. But the association did pick up “three or four” new members after deciding to join the push, he says.

As for Ocean City residents, well, they’ve been actively debating the issue since May, but in recent weeks, things have really heated up.

Asked one poster: “Just a simple question for the restaurant owners on here that want BYOB. Why did you open a business in a dry town that doesn’t permit alcohol sales or drinking in public, including in restaurants? Was it so you could turn around years later and complain about it and hope to get the laws repealed?”

The answer, again from business owners, was that they’ve watched the summer tourist season get shorter, the city’s year-round population decline and the downtown area struggle.

In fact, the idea seems more aimed at city and offshore residents than tourists.

At this point, the association is looking into hiring a lawyer and gathering information on the issue. But the movement to change the law — and more than a century of tradition — is out there.

And it may not be that easy to get it back in the bottle. n

Association decided to join the push and is supporting allowing BYOB. “It’s very important to get across that we are not trying to change the family feel of the city,” says Kevin Scull, vice-president of the association. “We are not talking about liquor licenses. We don’t want to see bars and nightclubs and we’d oppose that. That’s not what we want for the town.

“But the simple fact is that many or our meal, it will members and also downtown businesses are help the whole hurting,” he says. “This city really can’t afford to downtown,” he function as a five-month town anymore. These busiadds.

“They may take a nesses need help.”

all it a grass-roots effort, but one of the oldest debates in Ocean City is on again and picking up momentum.

Should the city finally allow the city’s restaurants to have BYOB service, where patrons can bring in their own wine and beer to complement their dinners?

Or, should Ocean City stick to the dry tradition that has served it and its family image so well for so long?

It’s a situation already stirring up some heated debate.

For decades, visitors to Ocean City, marketed as America’s greatest family resort, have been enjoying the clean, wholesome feel of the city, which sets it apart from so many shore towns like Ocean County’s Seaside Heights, so brilliantly being embarrassed on MTV’s Jersey Shore.

As a dry town, dating back to its founding by Methodist ministers in the late 1800s, there are no bars, taverns, clubs or public places for young Snooki and The Situation wannabees to destroy that family feel.

And you’re not going to find anyone looking to change that.

The current discussion is about allowing patrons to bring their own wine and beer (no hard liquor) to restaurants. No one is advocating that the city begin granting liquor licenses.

But, on the other hand, Ocean City’s current laws allow for no public drinking, even in private establishments such as restaurants, Would a couple, or a group of friends, having a nice bottle of carry-in wine in a downtown restaurant really upset that family tradition? Would it change the city’s image? Would the party crowd follow?

Or would it give a nice little boost to the city’s restaurants, adding a little touch of modernity to the town, and allow restaurant owners to compete more evenly within the whole shore region?

Turns out, people have been asking these questions for several months now, courtesy of a Facebook page started by some Ocean City business owners.

With little more than a posting wall, the debate is raging on the site. Most comments seem favorable to the idea, and about 500 people have hit the all-important “like” button.

But some detractors have been heard as well. Many think the idea will lead to an increase in DUIs in the city and hurt the city’s image.

Meanwhile, business owners say that the city’s downtown area is mired in an economic slump and needs not only to compete with other shore towns, but create a reason for more customers to come into town during the winter months.

And in recent days, both sides have picked up valuable allies.

‘There have been rumors that I hate Debbie Gibson. No.’

Three Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Tiffany

Tiffany (full name Tiffany Renee Darwish) rose to iconic teen-queen stardom in the late 1980s, and one of her biggest competitors in the race to the top of the Billboard charts back then was Debbie Gibson. Recently the two — who never had an unfriendly relationship or a relationship of any sort over the years — will star together in a soon-to-debut Sci-Fi thriller called Mega Python vs. Gatoroid.

It comes out on Feb. 29 on the Sci-Fi Channel and there will actually be a huge premier in New York at the Ziegfeld Theater, which I’m over the moon about because it’s such a historical theater. I’m a huge sci-fi fan, and to be part of a movie with them is great.

[Gibson] was a blast [to work with]. I think this is the first time we’ve ever really been able to relax, take it all in, have fun, be ourselves and not really be in a situation where we’re competing. We’re working off of each other and we’re in this together, and who would have thought that pythons and gators would have unified us. [laughs].

We’ve never had any kind of relationship of any sort. There have been rumors that we hate each other. No. Music is a dog-eat-dog kind of world, and you’re always competing for that top spot, but we’ve never had unkind words. We’ve actually never really even talked before this movie.

She’s originally from Orange County, California, but is living in Nashville, Tennessee, and working on a country-blues album.

It’s insane how many talented people there are down here. It’s awesome as a performer to be amongst people where you can learn so much and shine, and establish so many lifelong friendships. People are very embracive of other artists, and I haven’t found that anyplace else than Nashville. Here people pick up a guitar and play music just for fun, or just because it’s a part of them. When people have dinner parties, everybody brings an instrument and is willing to sing along, whether they’re a recording artist or not. I love that. I love to sing, and not just when I’m on stage. I’m always showing off.

She is a workaholic — and a shopaholic.

I’m a workaholic, which is part of the reason why I [moved] to the country because I need to take a breath and enjoy the day, and have everything in balance. Otherwise I would just go, go, go until I’d drop, and I don’t recommend that for anybody. It’s been a bad habit.

I mean, it’s important to have a good work ethic, but you can burn yourself out, so being in the country allows me to relax on weekends and enjoy my home, and just literally sit back and be inspired and get ready for the next journey. It’s just a drive, and a need to keep busy. I’ve always wanted to do this since I was a little girl, so I’ve been lucky enough to have my dream come true. I’m a shopaholic as well, so sometimes I miss California and all the retail instant gratification you can get going down the 405 Freeway, where you can literally find anything.

opening lyrics] ‘Children behave’ everyone starts going crazy and it brings such happiness to people, which I love. There’s something about that song that makes people feel good, and music is supposed to do that. It’s supposed to speak to your soul, and the memories that are attached to that song allow me to have a really good time with my fans. They usually do this dance that they’ve made up, and sometimes people get all dressed up like in the ’80s, which is part of the fun of it. You never know what’s going to happen.”

Among those joining Tiffany as award presenters are Philadelphia Daily News entertainment columnist Chuck Darrow, Atlantic City Weekly editor and co-creator of the Nightlife Awards Jeff Schwachter, and AC Weekly columnists David Spatz, Whitney Ullman and Raymond Tyler.

There will be more than two dozen awards presented in categories including best dance club, best happy hour, best industry night, best wine/beer selections, best resident DJ, and best bartender.

“I’m really looking forward to Atlantic City,” adds Tiffany. “It’s been a while since I’ve been there. I plan to come in a little early, look around, maybe go to dinner and take in the city a bit.”

According to Resorts director of media communications Courtney Birmingham, the hotel-casino’s cocktail waitresses will be donned in their new 1920s-themed uniforms and passing out complimentary flutes of champagne. There will be special room rates and restaurant specials going on the night of the party, including, on a first-come first-served basis, a special room rate of $39. Call 1-800-772-9000 and use promo code ACAWARD. “We’re also running a great late-night steak promotion at Breadsticks Cafe & Grill, which is a steak dinner usually priced at $20 for just $2.99,” says Birmingham. “It’s available from 11pm to 7am, so people could definitely give that a try after the nightlife awards.”

The ACWeekly.com Nightlife Awards Party had been invite-only during the past two years, but this year everyone in the hospitality industry — bartenders, cocktail servers, managers, dancers, DJs, performers, etc. — are welcome to attend.

abeling the ACWeekly.com Reader’s Choice Nightlife Awards Party an eagerly anticipated annual event so soon after its inception may be a bit presumptuous, but the concept has surely generated a lot of positive response from the Atlantic City-area nightlife community since its 2009 start.

A key reason is that the celebration itself — again hosted by Resorts’ retro-chic nightclub Boogie Nights — is as much fun for those attending as it is gratifying for the recipients of the awards, who this year received about 3,000 votes cast online, or nearly double 2010’s total.

Equally amped-up is the evening’s entertainment slate, which this year will include the debut of an Atlantic Citythemed song called “No Limit” that was created by Boogie Nights’ club owner Dave Pena and Jade Starling of the 1980s Philly-formed and South Jersey-based band Pretty Poison. “[The song’s] a tribute to Atlantic City and Atlantic City nightlife, and it will be matched with a [90-second] video that will open up the nightlife awards party,” says Pena.

Additionally Pena, who is also the proprietor of Planet Rose Karaoke Bar & Cocktail Lounge in The Quarter at Tropicana, tabbed Tiffany — a charttopping, 1980s teen pop sensation and now a 30-something, multi-genre singing star — to be among the award presenters, one night before her regularly scheduled gig at Boogie Nights (Fri. Jan. 28). Tiffany had two hits that reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts in 1987 — “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Could’ve Been,” and another that made No. 7 that same year, “I Saw Him Standing There.”

“Generally I prefer working with a band since there’s always some spontaneity happening musically with a band, but I also love club gigs because people have such an energy in a club,” Tiffany tells Atlantic City Weekly. “You’re working off the people and the energy a little more with a track [nightclub] gig, so it still opens that door to spontaneity a little bit.

“That’s why I will probably never get tired of singing ‘I Think We’re Alone Now,’ because — and this is going to sound sort of goofy — but once I start singing [the

Portman’s Comic Side Natalie Portman hooks up with Ashton Kutcher in romantic comedy ‘No Strings Attached’; plus a stingless ‘Green Hornet.’

ByLori Hoffman

A

dmit it. That rap video spoof a few years back from SNL featuring Natalie Portman as a sexedup, dirty-mouthed, drug-taking bad girl is hilarious precisely because the idea that she is any of those things is absurd.

Well Portman certainly showed us a convincing dark side in her Oscar nominated — and likely winning — performance in Black Swan. Now she lightens things up a bit but still plays against type in the new Ivan Reitman directed romantic comedy No Strings Attached opposite Ashton Kutcher.

The romantic comedy genre has run terribly afoul of the cookie cutter mentality the last decade, which is why romantic comedies have been box office poison lately. Rare exceptions like the delightful 500 Days of Summer are just that, rare.

And while No Strings Attached doesn’t avoid a cookie cutter feel early on when No Strings Attached HHHH Directed by Ivan Reitman; rated R The Green Hornet HHHH Directed by Michael Gondry; rated PG-13

the storyline is being awkwardly set up, eventually the chemistry between Portman and Kutcher overcomes the clichés.

Emma (Portman) and Adam (Kutcher) first meet at summer camp as ’tweens where he tries for a little sexual healing and she shoots him down. Years later, they see each other across a crowded room at a college frat party and we are supposed to believe that they recognize each other.

Again the connection is brief, with no sex involved, until a few years later when she is a busy, sex starved doctor with long hours and he is a go-fer and aspiring writer on a Glee-like TV series. This time the hook-up happens. Emma needs a sex buddy and Adam is happy to oblige.

The screenplay by Elizabeth Meriwether tries to create a believable emotional backstory to explain that Emma lacks social graces and rather than deal with her awkwardness about potential relationships, avoids the mess. Adam is pretty messy considering that the girlfriend that dumped him eight months earlier is shacked up with his father (Kevin Kline), a TV star.

Adam is looking for more than “benefits” and as much as Emma is fighting off her feelings, we know the emotional knockout punch is coming.

Kutcher is an acquired taste for some, but he is great at pouring on the charm and being adorable. And, although Portman’s Emma tries to fend off the inevitable with R-rated, clinical sex talk, we know her secret desire for the messiness of love will explode and slap her back to reality.

The film is rated R based on the sweetly raunchy sex talk — not explicit sexual content. It comes off as a veneer of guy’s stuff to try and make the film more palatable for male viewers, what I like to call Judd Apatow Syndrome, after the writerdirector of The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

No Strings Attached doesn’t eliminate the clichés, but Portman and Kutcher help the story spill out beyond the confines of the cookie-cutter plot and work as an effective romance.

‘Hornet’ With No Sting

The odd couple pairing of director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and writer-actor Seth Rogen doesn’t work in The Green Hornet. Odd is fine when it meshes, but Green Hornet feels like a 20-car pileup of conflicted ideas with a lame plot buried underneath the rubble about a rich boy jerk, Britt Reid

No Strings Attached (Rogen) who decides to become a superhero after he discovers that her father’s employee Kato (Jay Chou), is a genius inventor with mad martial arts skills.

He leans on Kato to provide the gadgets, including a seriously tricked out car, and the fighting skills. So what is Britt’s contribution? He ducks and then makes sure he gets the lion’s share of the credit via his newspaper. Gondry’s contribution feels like it was steamrolled by Rogen’s screenplay. Certainly, Cameron Diaz and reigning best supporting actor Christoph Waltz are lost in the wreckage. Toss in the fact that the 3-D technology adds nothing to the action scenes, and that Chou has no feel for comedy — at least not in English — and The Green Hornet is absolutely forgettable. n To read more about movies and other topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at http://blog.acweekly.com/
