Smoothies and Fashion at Neiman Marcus

Neiman Marcus in White Plains did a great customer promotion today to introduce its Hip 101" event with new lines of fashion and a celebration of Spring. It was a blast - we made Strawberry Banana, Pina Colada and Kiwi Lemon Lime smoothies to complement the fruit skewers and awesome cookies served to very happy customers!

St. John's Commuter Week Massage & Smoothies - The Video!

Smoothies & Massage for St. John's Commuters

This was Commuter Week at St. John's University in Jamaica, NY. As a reward for standing in the rain to catch a bus, walking vast distances and otherwise coming and going each day to get to this great school, St. John's Student Activities Board organized a week-long series of celebration events--including three visits from yours truly! The last one also featured our good friends from Massage on the Go who eased those shoulder aches from carrying book bags many miles during commutes!

Commuter Day at Fashion Institute

Yesterday was Commuter Day at Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan and the Student Activities added smoothies to the mix. FIT is always one of our favorite places to work--the students are great and, well, fashionable!

Johnson & Wales Breaks out the Blades

No ice-skating rink available for college students at Johnson & Wales? No problem! The student activities group set up a plastic, snap-together rink and a hot chocolate and latte bar (that was my excuse for not skating, had to make the drinks!) and a lot of fun was had by everyone. Johnson & Wales, based in Providence, RI, is a world-class university where students have an opportunity to pursue a career education in business, hospitality, culinary arts, or technology.

Casino Night at Salve Regina University

Salve Regina University in Newport, RI is one of the most beautiful campuses in the U.S. with historic buildings dating back to the 19th century. We brought our cappuccinos and hot chocolates to students for their annual Casino Night at the magnificent Wakehurst Student Center, built in the late 1800s and modeled after a 16th century English renaissance manor house. That didn't stop the students from playing some raucous poker!

Maui Wowi Does the NYC Nightclub Scene

We love doing events that have a good cause attached to them. A very cool gathering to benefit Young Culinary Masters was held at TOUCH in Manhattan last night. The event's focus was Living and Eating Well with sponsors showcasing nutritious foods and personal care. Great food, fun people, and plenty of Maui Wowi smoothies for all (some made with Purus organic wheat vodka--hey if you're gonna drink, it may as well be organic!). Organized by Stacey Prince of Eventagious Events, who can only be called a super-event-planner (this much energy in one person you have never seen!).

Back to School at St. Joseph's College

We always enjoy going over to St. Joseph's College in Patchogue NY for events throughout the year. Great students, upbeat and nice to each other. You can tell a lot about a school's student body by hanging out with them for three hours! Here are some of their faces from this week's Welcome Back Breakfast. We made cappuccinos, hot cocoas, smoothies and coffees to complement their Dunkin' Donuts feast! (OK, I had one - but it was a plain one!)

SNL's Jimmy Fallon Sucks Down a Maui Wowi!

Comedian Jimmy Fallon from Saturday Night Live and the hit movie "Fever Pitch" showed what happens when you drink a Maui Wowi smoothie. Your shorts becoming Hawaiian!

Stern College Java Jam with Maui Wowi

Most New Yorkers spent New Year's Day recovering from New Year's Eve, but at Yeshiva University's Stern College for Women it was the day before final exams! So we provided hot cocoa, cappuccinos, lattes and mochas to help the girls burn the midnight oil and ace their tests.

'Every Child's Dream' Includes a Maui Wowi Smoothie!

It's called "Every Child's Dream" -- an annual fundraising event held at Christmas time to help and support the homeless and needy of Suffolk County. Over 650 kids from the county came to see Santa, have some great food and a Maui Wowi smoothie. My smoothie arm may never be the same! But it was worth it. A special surprise: WWF wresting champion Mick Foley signed autographs for the kids. I'm surprised he can remember his name after some of the stuff he's been through!

Finals Time at Manhattan College

What goes great with Quantum Physics? A strawberry banana Maui Wowi, of course. No one at Manhattan College seems to be taking the easy stuff -- Melissa asked me if I remembered from statistics what a confidence interval is. Uh.... Anyway, we brightened the day with very cool drinks, which accompanied relaxing massages. Tonight we go back to do cappuccinos and hot cocoa.

Holiday Party at Fashion Institute of Technology

We love doing events at FIT...the kids have style! This was their first student holiday party and it was maxed out, wall to wall people. Music, food, dancing, activities for neighborhood children. Really impressive! We banged out hot cocoas and cappuccinos like there was no tomorrow -- it was a blast!

Spa Night at St. John's University

Manicures, massages and Maui Wowi smoothies...what better way to ease into Finals Week at St. John's University? Next week, we'll be in the student center with our Hawaiian coffees, cappuccinos, mochas and hot cocoas from...get this....5pm to 3am (no typo) to help students cram, er, we mean study for exams!

City College Gears Up for Finals with Maui Wowi

City College of New York is gearing up for finals and needed some major caffeine, so we made few hundred of our high-test espresso beverages and hot cocoas. Particularly popular was cafe mocha--chocolate, espresso, steamed milk--and a shot of caramel or other flavor syrup. No napping today for these undergrads!

Winter Carnival at St. John's University

The wind was whipping at St. John's University today--about 16 degrees with the wind chill. Fortunately Maui Wowi was there making hot chocolates (about 500 of them). We were accompanied by some very talented acapella singers dressed as toy soldiers from Nutcracker. It was a lot of fun despite the cold!
