 Wildflowers the AAA-rated four diamond restaurant at The Lodge at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York is one that you can easily dine at over several evenings and still find one more item that you want to try. The most difficult part of dining there is selecting only one starter, one entrée, and one dessert each, and although difficult, we did manage, and it was a nice problem to have. Chef de Cuisine Dustin Tuthill is the talent in the kitchen, and his menu is inspired, creative, and most important, very tasty!

Publishers Notes
|
|
What will be the trends in marketing for 2015? I mean trends, not trending, so put your # in your social media pocket. At the core of marketing is to spread your message across channels until it is heard. So, has the Internet changed that concept from spreading your message to pulling in information about your customers and being selective while tailoring your message to their needs? Well, this is a "yes" and a "no."
