We can’t take credit for the creativity, ingenuity, or impeccable hosting abilities on this one – but we appreciate the heck out of our friends who can. For the third consecutive year, our foodie friends strung together what can only be described as mollusk madness. An elegant and slurpable ocean-themed feast we can’t help but …
It’s election year again and we can’t think of any time in history that’s been more divisive. As neighbors clash over opposing viewpoints, political tensions reach their peak, cities burn to the ground, and candidates and flies alike battle for the limelight, finding common ground is more difficult than ever. But over here at PWA …

Spilling from the bathroom walls into my office to disrupt my concentration and make me hum along. Ever since I mentioned it …
Food on the grill and sunbathing on beaches. Corn on the cob and fresh picked ripe peaches. Bright colored bikinis tied up with strings. These are a few of my favorite things. Among those favorite things is also a good cocktail. At night I am usually a manhattan drinker and most days Matt and I …
