 The Delamar Southport located in Southport, Connecticut has all the bells and whistles that one expects of a luxury hotel: a gracious welcome, an attentive staff, elegantly appointed public spaces, luxurious guestrooms, spa services, a fitness center, and the excellent Artisan Restaurant, Tavern & Garden where Chef Frederic Kieffer is the talent in the kitchen. For a small boutique hotel with 44 stunning guestrooms and suites individually designed with handcrafted furnishings, it has a lot to offer both the business and leisure traveler. Located a 20-minute drive from Greenwich and New Haven, Connecticut, a 1-hour drive from Hartford, Connecticut and from New York City, and with its close proximity to the Southport Metro North rail station, and the hotel's complimentary shuttle service from the rail station, make it a very desirable property.

 Cooking with Chef André Soltner, Dean of The International Culinary Center, and former Chef-Owner of the legendary New York French restaurant, Lutèce during the 2014 New York Culinary Experience hosted by New York magazine culinary editor Gillian Duffy and International Culinary Center CEO and founder Dorothy Cann Hamilton was a most memorable culinary highpoint for me.

Publishers Notes

Breakout the fatigues, get ready for the early morning bugle
call as we get back to the basics in 2014 with some key marketing initiatives. Time
to review the fundamentals of marketing, time to exercise self-discipline, get
ready to deal with the rigors of schedules and the marketing daily grind. If
this sounds like an advertisement for marketing combat training, and so it
should, as marketing is a battle to gain customer visibility and to connect
with them.
