Dallas Morning News ✯✯✯✯

“This is certainly an upscale neighborhood restaurant, but the ambiance is sophisticated without a hint of snobbery. Small details like orange slices in the water and a complimentary bowl of crisp shoestring sweet potatoes add to the charm. All the seafood entrees we’ve tried have been outstanding.”

“This breezy timeless enclave is as appealing today as it was 25 years ago when the owner first opened the door.”

8/21/12 10:02 AM

Boasting 1,300 of the most incredible performing artists from more than 50 different countries, the Canadian-based company Cirque du Soleil has dazzled more than 100 million spectators on six continents. Recognizing the talents of the street performers in his native Quebec, founder Guy Laliberté, was the first to orchestrate the marriage of cultures with artistic and acrobatic disciplines. Since 1984, Laliberté’s vision has guided the creative teams through every show, working tirelessly to elevate the circus arts in the minds of critics and the public alike.

Cirque du Soleil returns to Dallas with its critically-acclaimed big top production, KOOZA, opening Wednesday, September 19th for a limited engagement. The white Big Top will be set at a new downtown Dallas location: Lot E at 500 Memorial Drive beneath Reunion Tower. Over 4 million people have seen KOOZA since its creation in 2007. KOOZA will celebrate its 2000th show in Dallas and will be the 6th Big Top touring show to visit the City since 1998. 6

KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil ® that combines two circus traditions —acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. Written and directed by David Shiner, the show highlights the physical demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a colorful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor. The name KOOZA is inspired by the Sanskrit word “koza,” which means “box,” “chest” or “treasure,” and was chosen because one of the underlying concepts of the production is the idea of a “circus in a box.” “KOOZA is about human connection and the world of duality, good and bad,” Shiner said. “The tone is fun and funny, light and open. The show doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it’s very much about ideas, too. As it evolves we are exploring concepts such as fear, identity, recognition and power.”

Several of the 53 performing artists in KOOZA have received awards from important circus arts competitions. The show presents an unprecedented approach to the High Wire and a breathtaking Wheel of Death – an act that Cirque du Soleil has never before presented under the big top. Tickets for KOOZA are available at cirquedusoleil.com/kooza Key Magazine • September 2012 • keydallas.com cirquedusoleil.com/kooza

Find Your Niche and get your caffeine fix! by Kerrie Sparks // food-sparks.com

We’ve been exploring Dallas niches lately, and we sure do love the digs over at The Pearl Cup. Two lovely ladies who hail from Austin, Rita Davis and Carlene Saelg, are making their dreams come true—and garnering quite a fan base—as they make their stake in Dallas. We sat down with our Mexican Hot Chocolate on a chilly December morning and pondered a few questions for the gals.

KS: How did the concept of The Pearl Cup come about? PC: Upon moving to Dallas, we wanted to create an environment that was a hip, but comfortable, coffee-centric gathering place for the community. KS: You’ve made a name for yourselves with The Pearl Latte™, but I have to say your Mexican Hot Chocolate is pretty kickin’ – and it’s pretty! What items on your menu do you gravitate to most? PC: We both love our Italian cappuccino! It's hard to choose a favorite because of our routines that involve coffee. For Rita, Pearl Cup Blend or single origin drip in the morning and cappuccinos later in the day. For Carlene, Italian cappuccinos all the way! We also have several fabulous teas. We use Sterling Tea out of Rockwall, their teas are delicious! Rita drinks it hot or cold!

KS: Where are your beans are sourced ? PC: We do use a local roaster, Eiland, for our house blend, espresso and some tasty drip coffees. We also use Cuvee, out of the Austin area. We also have a guest espresso which changes every few months.

KS: Your interior space is very community and user friendly, and I love the use of mix-and-match tables and chairs, both modern and retro. What was most important when deciding on the ambiance you wanted the shop to onvey? PC: As far as the ambiance, it needed to be welcoming; modern but not too sterile or cold. Rita has dealt in antiques for decades and has always appreciated the warmth and character that is found with an older piece of furniture or accessory. The shop is dynamic, always changing in some subtle way.

And there you have it. Hitch up your MacBook, grab a book, or maybe those stacks of magazines collecting dust on your dining room table, and visit Rita and Carlene at The Pearl Cup. They’ll be nice to you, I swear. You can while away the day sipping your addiction of choice as you “work from home” (read: updating FaceBook and LinkedIn), and they won’t even kick you out! Mi casa es su caffeinated casa! Errr, whatever, you get it. The Pearl Cup | 1900 Henderson Ave, Ste B |Dallas, TX 75206 thepearlcup.com |M-F: 7am-9pm | Sat/Sun: 9am-9pm
