The Wayne Hotel and Paramour welcomed Ithan Elementary School third graders on Friday, May 11^th to give them a behind-the-scenes look into a real Wayne business.  The first thing on the agenda for the third graders was cookie making with Pastry Chef Amelia Dietrich in Paramour’s dining room. The students donned their chef hats and got to work decorating dinosaurs, stars and flowers. While the cookies set, the group moved upstairs to see Wayne Hotel’s Premiere Suite and learn a little more about the history of the hotel from General Manager, David Brennan. Finally the third graders took a seat in Wayne Hotel’s Lobby Lounge to interview Mr. Brennan about his experience in the hospitality industry and managing a business in Wayne. They learned about the important role that Wayne Hotel plays in the community, and the things that are needed to make a business successful. Finally, they relaxed on the Veranda to munch on their culinary treats and talk about their visit to the Wayne Hotel and Paramour.

Paramour invites you to start your summer on the right note at the Sixth Annual Longwood Gardens Wine & Jazz Festival on Saturday, June 2, 12-5:30pm.

Spend the day at Longwood Gardens enjoying fresh, local fare and the finest wines from over 20 Pennsylvania wineries while listening to an exciting lineup of award-winning jazz artists, including Joe Baione Quintet, Dominick Farinacci Quintet, Wycliffe Gordon Quartet and Grammy Award winner Dianne Reeves.

Learn from local experts about wine tasting and pairing, and learn how to make two gourmet dishes during cooking demonstrations featuring Paramour’s own Executive Chef Michael Giampa and Pastry Chef Amelia Dietrich. At 12:30 pm, Chef Giampa will be preparing Tuna Poke, a traditional Hawaiian dish with a contemporary twist, and at 2:30 pm watch Chef Amelia make her popular Steamed Lemon Pudding Cakes.

Please join Paramaour at this special event in one of the great gardens of the world. For more information and ticket purchase, please visit LongwoodGardens.org

The Run for the Roses may have been the focus of this past weekend, but the gathering on the breezy Veranda of the Main Line’s newest al fresco dining scene at Paramour was not to be missed.

While jockeys were donning their silks in Louisville, Main Liners were donning their hats to celebrate in style on Paramour’s Veranda. Guests were welcomed to the First Annual Kentucky Derby Party with complimentary Woodford Reserve mint juleps and an abundance of Derby inspired Hors d’oeuvres. The afternoon’s main event was the Hat Judging Contest, where chic and poised ladies eagerly showed off their Derby finest and flaunted their over-the-top headwear, vying for one of three top spots and excellent prizes. Along with the ladies, a handful of stylish Main Line men looked dapper in their Derby hats. The top man and woman each received stylish gift baskets designed by Paramour with the Derby in mind. Second place winners received stunning accessories courtesy of The Bark Avenue Boutique, and Third place took home gift cards to dine at Paramour.

Stan Hochman, Sports columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News and a Kentucky Derby aficionado, provided a challenging Derby Questionnaire which tested guest’s knowledge of the most prestigious event in horse racing. Hochman was also on hand during the race to enlighten guests on some behind-the-scenes knowledge that he has gained from covering the Derby and from his ownership in past Derby contenders.

Excitement soared as race time grew near, and guests quickly chose their seats in Paramour’s Bistro Bar, Lobby Lounge and stunning Veranda to watch the most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

I’ll have another… ticket to the Derby Party next year! Sign up for Paramour’s newsletter, like them on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter to be the first to know about upcoming events.
