More Ice Bar Reportage

PortlandTown made a return trip to the Ice Bar with his camera and has published a new set of photos and The Examiner also made a visit,

Hip, happening and hypothermia; all three can be found here at The Ice Bar. The Portland Harbor Hotel is a gracious glacier, hosting an annual magnificent and crystalline fundraiser for many a cool cause. Proceeds benefit The Center for Grieving Children, Share Our Strength, Junior Achievement, and now Haitian help as well.

Photos from the Ice Bar

PortlandTown has published some photos from his Friday night visit to the Ice Bar.

As I walked up to the Portland Harbor Hotel just after eight O’clock the crowd was spilling out of the lobby.  The restaurant dining room was filled with people standing,  drinks in hand and the corridor leading to the food was packed. I unpacked my gear and grabbed a camera and flash then headed to the outside Ice Bar.  Good vibes were apparent everywhere and no one seem to notice the 15 degree weather.

Phoenix Review of Binga's Stadium

The Portland Phoenix has published a review of Binga’s Stadium.

While they are meaty enough, it is the skin and the sauce/seasoning that makes or breaks a wing — and Binga’s offers you about 20 options. The best wings tend to be seasoned with a dry rub, but Binga’s mostly coats theirs in syrupy sauces.

This works best when there is some heat to cut though the sugars. The Thai chili sauce was too mild, and seemed unreasonably sweet. The thin, orange-tinged classic Buffalo sauce was much better . . .
