"Goldbar": New "Ossuary Chic" Bar in New York City: Guest Post by Frank Tagariello


I have patronized many a theme bar in my day, but this is the first ossuary theme bar that has come to my attention! And right here in New York City, no less!

Here is a full report, by my friend and workmate Frank Tagariello:

Last night was the relaunch of an elegantly macabre new lounge, Goldbar, located off the beaten path on East Broome Street in New York City. Sipping morbidly delicious cocktails under the watchful eyeless skulls attached in mass to the walls, I felt like I was in a 21st century catacomb or subterranean passageway for religious practice….? Amen, and cheers to the Goldbar!

Gaspari Nutrition Announces New Look for 2013

Now an established global brand, Gaspari Nutrition announces they are introducing a new branding and packaging design.

(PRWEB) January 15, 2013

Now it is easier than ever to distinguish Gaspari Nutrition products from other nutrition brands, as well as from each other. Keep an eye out for the revolutionary new look including white lids, the same blue bottle Gaspari Nutrition has been distinctively know for, and a stunning white label. The new labels showcase more information at the front of the packaging like suggested times to use, product benefits and nutritional highlights.

The first products which alluded to this change were launched in 2012. With the release of the new and highly anticipated Myofusion Elite Protein Series, it is now official that Gaspari Nutrition has a fresh look that is here to stay. Whether you come across their old or new packaging, you'll be happy to know that you'll be getting the same great products that are critically acclaimed around the world. The next product to embrace this change will be Anavite. This sports nutrition favorite is a multivitamin and mineral formula that includes high doses of amino acids such as Carnipure Carnitine Tartrate and Carnosyn Beta-Alanine. Its the same great formula only now with no artificial colors and a new look.

My brand has really come a long way over the years and continues to evolve, which is very exciting said CEO Rich Gaspari. Im now ready to take it to the next level with an enthusiastic management team and an all new look for 2013.

Newer products such as Glycofuse, which is a revolutionary low osmolarity carbohydrate drink mix, already have this new look. The same goes for Aminolast, which is a properly dosed branched chain amino acid drink mix that utilizes Albion minerals as electrolytes for performance athletes. Rest assured that more established products undergoing this shift in packaging design will still have the same great Gaspari Nutrition signature formulations.

Gaspari Nutritions complete sports nutrition product portfolio is expected to complete their transition by the end of 2013. This new look represents Gaspari Nutritions continued commitment to quality control as the new designs have a cleaner and brighter appeal while supporting regulatory compliance around the world.
