Beaches of South Walton Autum Tides 2010! Autumn Tides Celebration Features Events for Artistic Expression
Beaches of South Walton is home not only to emerald waters and sugary white sands, but also a vibrant community of artists that have helped to make the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast destination a favorite among those with a love for artistic expression.
The annual Autumn Tides celebration offers wonderful opportunities for travelers, residents, visiting artists and aspiring artists to mingle and even collaborate, with signature upcoming events such as Art Expo and Via Colori.
The Art Expo hosted by The Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin, Sept. 3-5, is a weekend “good for the art and soul” with world-class art and live music under the moonlight. Exceptional artists featured in leading galleries across the southeast gather for this three-day festival showcasing the best of the best in the world of art with events every evening from 5 to 10 p.m.
Via Colori, Sept. 18, offers a more hands-on experience as artists take to the streets for an Italian-style street painting art festival. This unique community project in support of Seaside Neighborhood School brings together volunteers and businesses, and features local and visiting artists using Grand Boulevard’s main street as a giant canvas. This community favorite is open to the public.
The Inspirational Weekend, Oct. 8-17, includes events to inspire with food and yoga, and also has an art component. It takes place throughout several locations in the community. More information can be found at www.studiobthebeach.com.

From the FOODIE Scene: CRUSH Wine Bar -Tapas - Sushi in SEASIDE Responds to Economic Crunch
Tough economic times have made many restaurants along the Emerald Coast reassess their customer offerings. To remain competitive and appealing to their customer base, it is important for a business to take actions and be able to adapt when the community expresses its wishes. CRUSH, settled in the market square of Seaside, Fla., has created a daily events calendar that does just that.
“Our team has put a lot of work into creating an atmosphere that appeals to fun-loving wine enthusiasts,” Jim Altamura, owner of Harbor Restaurant Group, said this week. “Our wine list is extensive, our staff is friendly and professional, and our food, combined with a unique ambience, is unlike anywhere on the coast.”
Try some of CRUSH’s favorite wines at its complimentary wine tastings every Thursday from 4:00–6:00 p.m. This is ideal for the novice wine enthusiast who normally does not have the opportunity to taste the more acclaimed wine brands. The extensive wine list includes a selection of American and international wines, and the knowledgeable staff at CRUSH can answer any questions to help customers to choose the perfect wine for a meal.
Beginning at 7:00 p.m. on September 9, Thursdays at CRUSH will host the area’s only Open Mic Night. These informal gatherings are intended to provide local singers and songwriters with a chance to display their talents to a receptive audience. For the music lover, Open Mic Night will serve as a chance to hear what CRUSH hopes will be terrific music.
Every night from 4:00–6:00 CRUSH will feature half-price sushi, wine, and beer. Every variation of CRUSH’s appetizing sushi will be available, tempting even the non-sushi lover with a chance to try it. Combine that with the impressive wine selection, and customers can enjoy a high-end evening at moderate prices.
It can be difficult, at times, to find enjoyable ways of bringing friends together, and some groups just need a good ice breaker. “Beer and board games” every night at CRUSH remedies that dilemma by offering a $1-off beer special for all who bring their own board games. For locals, CRUSH’s stylish bar and outside patio contribute to an exceptional atmosphere for an after work drink. They offer patrons a refreshing place to relax while enjoying Seaside’s scenic new-urban backdrop.
Each Wednesday night, get away from it all, as CRUSH celebrates Ladies’ Night. Fun-loving women are invited to indulge in half-price drinks from 6:00 until closing. These evenings are designed to allow ladies an evening of fun and elegance while enjoying quality time with friends.
Sunday brunch at CRUSH is great for family time while allowing patrons the opportunity to enjoy unlimited champagne with each entree purchase. Bloody Mary’s, Bellini’s, and Mimosas are $5 each. A separate brunch menu features some creative dishes prepared by CRUSH’s talented staff. Brunch is served every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
CRUSH, located in the Central Square of Seaside, is a “vintner’s café” offering an extensive collection of American and International wines along with small plates and sushi. Relax inside at the trendy bar or enjoy the outside on the covered terrace. CRUSH operates under owner and proprietor Jim Altamura’s Harbor Restaurant Group banner, along with the awarded Marina Café and 30A’s premier steakhouse, Destin Chops 30A. For more information on CRUSH, or to make a reservation, call 850.468.0703 or visit www.crush30a.com.
