LUGO CAFFERevel has borrowed from New York City for its dining roster once again. Lugo Caffé, thesecond version of the popular New York City brasserie, promises a bustling atmospherereminiscent of Italy’s grand cafés, with views of the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. Chef Stefa-no Chiaruga will serve up homemade pastas, Neapolitan-style brick-oven pizza and mozza-rella made on-site.

Famed Washington D.C. restauranteurRobertWiedmaier hada lot of “aha”Atlan-tic Citymoments that led to his decision tojoin Revel. His visit to restaurants at Bor-gata and elsewhere, for one.

“I was amazed how busy many of themwere despite the recession,” said Wied-maier, amaster of Belgian cuisine. HewillopenMusselBar, a pubbased in part onhisrestaurant of the same name in Bethesda,Md.

Another was that Revel CEOKevin De-Sanctis was not selling his resort as a casi-no. “The first thing you see is not the casi-no. I liked that,” saidWiedmaier, oneof twomore star names added to thegrowing ros-ter of chefs for the$2.4billioncasinoopen-ing this spring.

The flavors of the Italian andFrench ri-vieraswill arrivewith chefAlainAllegret-ti. Azure by Allegretti combines Allegret-ti’s influences — most notably his Italiangrandmother— and his experiences at his

New York City restaurant, La Promenadedes Anglais.

Wiedmaier’s inspiration forMusselBardraws from an Old-World Belgian road-houseservingbière,moulesandfrites, andother Flemish favorites.

“The concept derived from places Iwent to in Brussels, eatingmussels, drink-ing beer and listening to rock ‘n’ roll to allhours.All thecookswouldgo lateatnight,”he said.

The name is also catchy, he said. Wied-maier hopes this will be the first of multi-ple locations for the concept. And the ideaof live music appealed to his senses.

“Wewant themusicwehave to coincide

with themusic at oneof the threeperform-ing venues in Revel. We are just outsidethe 5,000-seat arena,” the chef said.

Still another element Wiedmaier willbring to the table is the design of the kitch-en — so diners can observe the dishes be-ingprepared. “Theone inAtlanticCitywillbe somethingmore than just serving food.I wanted theater with a kitchen as an openkitchen,” he said.

WhileMusselBarwill have amenu thatfeatures a lot of dishes comprised of mus-sels, the offerings will extend beyond theshellfish, right down to Belgian wafflesand crepes for dessert.

A selection of more than 150 Belgian

and domestic beers will also be servedwith the 23 on tap.

“It’s good, reasonable everyday food,”said Wiedmaier, who also operates Mar-cel’s,whichwasrecentlynamedonZagat’sprestigious list of America’s Top Restau-rants of 2012; Brasserie Beck in Washing-ton, D.C.; and Brabo, Brabo Tasting Roomand The Butcher’s Block, A Market in Al-exandria, Va.

Features at Azure will include hand-made pastas, Mediterranean whole fish, araw bar and composed dishes from theland and sea. Diners can enjoy a peek be-hind the scenes with an open-exhibitionkitchen or retreat to a sunset-inspired pri-vate dining room for a cozier experience.

“Revel is such an inspiring addition toAtlantic City,” said executive chef AlainAllegretti, a native of Nice. “I am excitedto bring some of my favorite flavors fromthe Riviera and present them with a freshtake in this dramatic oceanfront setting.

“Azure is poised to provide a backdropfor a romantic date, a celebratory dinneror a fun night out with friends.”

Lighthouses have long been the source of visualarts, fromdrawing, paintingandphotography.Theymake for good images.

To highlight the relationship, Absecon Light-house is once again offering “Kids Light up theArts.” It’s an effort to promote the visual—andper-forming — arts for children, through special two-hour classes Sundays through early March.

The lighthousewill collaboratewith local artists,performers and crafters to educate and encouragekids to create their own works of art, culminatingwith an art show where students will display theirwork.

Classeswill be featured in theater and puppetry,dance, painting, literature, photography and otherdisciplines. Children should wear comfortableclothing.

“We do have some significant changes everyyear, including some of the artistic disciplines andteaching artists,” said Stephanie Carr, director ofeducational programs for the Absecon Lighthouse.“This year, we have again focused on balancing be-tween visual and performing arts. Of course, evenwhen we are exploring the same disciplines, eachclass will be unique.”

This year, Erin Esposito, from Surflight TheatreCompany, will participate in both the dance andtheater workshops.

Local artist Caz Boyd with the South Jersey Cul-tural Alliance will again participate while local mu-ralist Linda Wexler will be a first-time participant.Wexler created the mural at Absecon Lighthouseleading from the museum to the tower, and she willbe discussing murals and working on a project ofpainting tiles with the kids.

“We originally developed this program in an ef-fort to promote the visual and performing arts tochildrenuponhearingnews thatmanyschoolswerecutting out orminimizing arts programming,” Carrsaid. “We imagined this would be a fun way to ex-ploredifferent avenues. It offers anopportunity forkids to try something new while hopefully, givingthem a new appreciation for the arts, locally andglobally.”

An art exhibit and reception will be held at theLighthouse at the end of the program onMarch 11.

“We encourage everyone to join us to admire thecreativity of our students,” Carr said.

IF YOU GOThe LIVE Bar and Rush Loungeare on the lobby floor of GoldenNugget Atlantic City, HuronAvenue and Brigantine Bou-levard. LIVE opens 8 p.m. Thurs-day and 9 p.m. Friday and Sat-urday. Rush is open 24/7. Thereare no reservations or covercharge.

When the Golden Nugget tookover Trump Marina last year,management promised to createa destination that went beyondslotmachinesand tablegames.Tothat end, the casino hotel has in-troduced two very different en-tertainment venues: LIVE Barand Rush Lounge.

LIVE, located in what used tobe The Wave in Trump Marina,features live bands Thursdaythrough Saturday night.

“The room is completely dif-ferent the minute you walk in,”saidTomPohlman, vice presidentand general manager of the casi-no hotel. The lighting is unique.It’s a hip atmosphere with morethan 10 flat-screen televisionswith appeal for all demographics,Pohlman said.

The bar offers specialtydrinks such as the “Golden”Mar-garita, Pineapple Cosmo and the

Luscious Lemon Drop. There’sbottle and table service, too.Drinks are half-price from 9 to 11p.m. from Thursdays to Satur-days.

“We’ve had a great response.We saw an influx of sales for thehalf-price drinks,” Pohlman said.

Rushhas livemusicanddrinksaswell, but that’s theonly similar-ity to LIVE. Situated across fromthe front desk off the hotel lobbyinwhatwas a slot area, the loungeoffers guests a place to relax, en-joy a cocktail, gamble on bar-topvideo poker games, and watchsports on flat-screen TVs.

With nightly entertainment,Rush—a larger version of a simi-lar lounge in Las Vegas — servesas a great spot tomix andmingle.

“The name is the antithesis ofwhat it is,”Pohlmansaid. “Rush isa more relaxing environment.Theentertainment is suchthat it’s

easier to have conversations.”Gem-inspired drinks include

Diamond, Ruby and Emeraldcocktails. Bottle service andcocktail shakers for parties offour or more are also available.

“In this economy, visitors lookfor other things to do. Entertain-ment, shopping, restaurants andspas identifyyouasaresortdesti-nation as opposed to a casino des-tination,” Pohlman said.

This past Sunday, the quiche includ-ed marinated artichoke hearts, oven-cured tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.The omelet of the day was lobster,shrimp and crab with roasted peppersand Boursin cheese.

The sauce for the blintzes consistedof Bailey’s Irish Cream, white choco-late and marshmallow. “We playedaround with orange Creamsicle, ama-retto and other flavors,” said cookMattRubich. “It’s fun. ”

Anthony Capolingua’s carving areaincludes prime rib, lamb chop andsalmon with crab meat. Caviar and

sushi stations are adjacent.SonNgonotonlystaffs thecrepeand
