• Fresh Blends Opening in Belmont May 9

  Fresh Blends Juice and Smoothie Bar will celebrate the launch of its Belmont Boulevard store on May 9 and 10, with $50 coupons for the first 50 customers, as well as 15 percent discounts at both the East Nashville Store and the new location at 1703 Portland Ave. Fresh Blends launched its inaugural store at 1888 Eastland Ave. last summer, with a menu of vegetable and fruit juices, fresh whole fruit smoothies and shots of locally grown organic wheatgrass. The Belmont store will offer a similar

• On and Off the Menu: The Monthly Update for april

  For a change, April appeared to be a net-positive month when it came to restaurant openings and closings. Nick's Italian Deli was the only casualty reported on Bites; meanwhile, Patterson House, Cantina Laredo and Fleur de Lis Flavors opened their doors and SouthSide Grill replaced Sofie's Bistro, though it's still owned by the same people. There are already a few openings on the horizon for May, with The Local Taco coming to Sylvan Park in time for Cinco de Mayo, Fresh Blends in Belmont laun

• Fresh Blends: Home of the CZ Carrot Challenge

  The retreat of college students--and their associated traffic--from the Belmont corridor means it is safe to visit the new Fresh Blends across the street from Athlete's House. For the next few months, you can get a parking spot on the perennially crowded street, and there's no crazy crowd at the spartan new shop at 1703 Portland Ave., which houses little more than four bar stools, a bed of wheat grass and a big-ass juicer. My veggie friend Meg, who owned the bygone Red Wagon in East Nashvill

  It was a bittersweet week as we said farewell to Bites blogger Lee Stabert, who's heading home to the City of Brotherly Love. In bidding her adieu, Bites readers gave Lee a list of local favorites to hit before she skips town, as well as a list of places to dine on the way to Philadelphia. It was also a thirsty week. Readers weighed in on The Patterson House, the new artisanal cocktail place reviewed in this week's Scene, and we got a preview of The Wine Loft coming to the Gulch this summer. A

• The CZOJ, Sponsored by Fresh Blends: Orange You Gonna Get Tired of Carrots?

  A couple of weeks ago, I floated the idea of the Carrot Zinger Orangification Journey, in which I would drink a Fresh Blends Carrot Zinger (carrot-ginger-beet-lemon juice) every day to see how long it would take to turn my skin orange. With CZs running at $4 a pop, I made a subtle plea for sponsorship. I'm thrilled to announce that Fresh Blends read the posting and has stepped up as the official underwriter. Introducing the CZOJ, brought to you by Fresh Blends. Think of this as a vegetably s

• CZOJ Update: Orange You Gonna Join in this Contest?

  It's Day 5 of the Carrot Zinger Orangification Journey, and I'm not orange yet. But Amy Rowland, who cheerfully juices the seven carrots that go into my daily Carrot Zinger at Fresh Blends in Belmont, said she's been hearing some mumbling in the juice community about how long it's going to take me to change color. Apparently, a guy she knows from the East Nashville Fresh Blends said he turned orange after just one week of drinking three carrot juices a day. I'm only ingesting about 16 ounces

• CZOJ: A Carroty Update and a Juicy Calendar

  No, I'm not orange yet. Things keep getting in the way of my Fresh Blends morning ritual, so I've actually missed quite a few daily does of Carrot Zinger. But I've upped my intake to 24 ounces a visit, which has been about four days a week. You'd think 96 ounces of carrot-beet-ginger-lemon juice a week could still have some effect on skin tone. Most recently I was diverted from my juicy constitutional by a venal case of the flu that roiled through my house. Now, I'm not saying massive does of

• Beet Beat Meets CZOJ: A Contest!

  Me here. Still not orange. In fact, I've given up the Carrot Zinger Orangification Journey--my quest to turn myself orange through ingesting massive quantities of Fresh Blends' Carrot Zingers. At my peak intake--almost 100 ounces of carrot-beet-ginger-lemon juice a week--I wasn't even the slightest bit peach-toned. Over the past few weeks of the CZOJ, I've become addicted to my morning stops at the Belmont store. I just can't drink any more carrots. So it's time for a new drink. Something

  ​* Hey, did you know there's a music festival at Belmont on Friday? It's called On the Boulevard '09, and features a bunch of bands of varying degrees of Belmont-y. Oh, hell, I'll let Lance explain: I know these names probably mean very little to most of you, but here's the lowdown on who I'm going to be seeing: Westbound Rangers (bluegrass), Kopecky Family Band (indie folk/rock), Future (retro alternative hip-hop with a technological edge), Spanish Candles (a straight-up rock band), Greg

How he manages to out-scene us is a mystery, especially since he lives in Clarksville. Check out his review of the recent Jesus Jones show at 3rd & Lindsley. Sounds like it was a fuckin' blast!

  ​As Nashville housing prices soared over the last decade--and they've survived the real estate bubble-burst much better than most of the rest of the nation--Woodbine has become an increasingly popular neighborhood. It makes sense, given that Woodbine has lovely older homes very close to downtown, 12South, Belmont and Green Hills at a fraction of the price of any of those locations. And with the plethora of Mexican, Middle Eastern and Asian restaurants nearby, it's a good place to be an eat

  If we allow wine sales in grocery stores, we're just unleashing a bunch of boozehounds on the streets, says Pamela Erickson, president of the temperance group Public Action Management. (Temperance groups? They exist?) You know, the types who'll pass out in your driveway and threaten your children. Those wine-drinking assholes. ...

• Ditch the Dip: Cha Chah-rcuterie

  ​A recent visit to Cha Chah on Belmont revealed a slight course correction on their small plate offerings. In place of several of the various dips that used to populate the menu is a new Charcuterie and Queso Board. As much as I'll miss that white bean and fennel dip, I was impressed with the new additions. The Cha Chah team of Arnold Myint, Sebastian Silbereis and their secret weapon in all things porcine, Larry Carlisle, the Sausage Guy, have created a mix-and-match platter of house-cur

  ​Too bad if you showed up at 11:07 a.m. today to help the Al-Farooq Islamic Center on Nolensville Road remove the hostile graffiti that someone spray-painted there earlier this week. All it took was five minutes, a bucket of paint and some household supplies to remove all visible evidence of the attack -- except for the news crews and many volunteers milling about on the sidewalk outside. Some 75 people showed up by 11 a.m. to help the mosque's congregation repair the damage done to the build

  ​A couple of weekend media notes... [1] The New Math. A Tennessean Sunday story on fundraising declines at some area colleges and universities saddled Belmont University with some inexplicable arithmetic. The story (with accompanying chart) reported that donations to Belmont fell from $18.9 million in 2008 to $6.7 million in 2009. This is certainly a newsworthy drop of more then 64 percent, but somehow the geniuses at our metropolitan daily saw fit to summarize it as "a staggering 182 percent
