Old-world Mexico brought to life
Experience the warmth
and romance of Mexico
at Casa de Bandini in The
Forum Shopping Center.
Originally opened by
Diane Powers in 1980 in Old
Town State Park, Casa de
Bandini is the essence of
Mexican culture: authentic Mexican food, fabulous
mariachi entertainment,
giant margaritas and an
environment depicting
Colonial Mexico.
Inspired by Juan Bandini,
a Peruvian who immigrated
to San Diego as one of early
California’s first Dons, and
by Mexico’s early period of
elegant living and dining,
Casa de Bandini is home
to beautiful art collections
from Peru and magnificent
gilt gold mirrors. The large
hand wrought iron chandeliers, and the antique
leaded glass window panels
in our dining room are all
original from the first location. Outside, many longtime diners may also recognize the Mexican Cantera
stone fountain centered
in the Talavera tiled pool
as the same one from the
original Casa de Bandini.
Powers purchased this magnificent, hand-carved piece
in the late 1970s during a
trip to Guadalajara.
Casa de Bandini’s awardwinning cuisine is made
with the freshest ingredients and original regional
recipes, accompanied by
A traditional
Mexican dish,
Carne Asada

and a cheese

an extensive selection of
specialty margaritas and
handmade, served hot-offthe-grill tortillas. Over 80
entrees can be found on
the menu, including favorites such as crispy shrimp
and mango tacos, sizzling
fajitas, traditional combination plates and delicious
carnitas burritos. The restaurant also offers an abundant selection of creative,
healthy Mexican salads
and vegetarian choices,
and a new, full gluten-free
menu for those with dietary
restrictions.
In addition to authentic food and décor, Casa
de Bandini brings the
spirit of Mexico to life
with lively performances
from its famous mariachi
group, Cielito Lindo. Diners
are serenaded as these
world-class musicians
stroll through the restaurant’s dining rooms
and patio, Wednesday to
Sunday evenings.
Whether you’re with
friends and family in the
vibrant dining rooms, or
enjoying a meal under
the stars on the magnificent heated patio, it’s
always a fiesta at Casa de
Bandini!

Experience Broadway in your own backyard
For 36 years, the Moonlight Amphitheatre in
Vista’s Brengle Terrace
Park has come alive with
the sound of music of
Broadway musicals and an
array of concerts. This year
is no different as the city’s
award-winning Moonlight
Stage Productions presents
a season of Broadway’s best
under the stars.
The season includes
“Sister Act,” “Peter Pan,”
“Titanic The Musical” and
“The Addams Family.”
Heading up the musical season is Producing
Artistic Director Steven
Glaudini. “Our musicals
are built from the ground
up,” he said. “Our production values are high and we
often import the Broadway
or National Tour sets and
costumes for our shows.
Our actors are a mix of
Broadway performers and
regional talent.
Each show is accompanied by a live orchestra
using the Broadway scores.
The overall experience is
such that audiences feel
they are getting the best of
Broadway right in their own
backyard. Mixed-in with
the beautiful surroundings
of the Amphitheatre, it’s
an experience that can’t be
duplicated anywhere else.”
For its Broadway musical season, the Moonlight
Moonlight Amphitheatre provides an idyllic location for enjoying the outdoors while watching high quality performances.
permits audiences to bring
their own non-alcoholic
beverages and picnics into
the Amphitheatre to enjoy
before each show. For
those who like to leave the
cooking to someone else,
there’s the Artisan Café at
the Moonlight, a restaurant
offering pre-performance
dinners. The Moonlight is
particularly family friendly
and offers general admission lawn tickets at a deep
discount, tickets range
from $8 to $20 and lawn
chairs are provided at no
extra charge.
Outside of the musical
season, the Amphitheatre also offers a number
of concerts including
fund-raising events produced by the theatre’s
non-profit producing partner the Moonlight Cultural
Foundation. The Foundation raises individual and
corporate donations to support the Moonlight and to
offer its own educational
and outreach programs
including Moonlight Youth
Theatre.
The Foundation this year
is presenting Well-Strung
on July 9, the internationally renowned singing
string quartet that performs everything from
classical music to arrangements of current hits for
quartet. Then, Chris Mann,
the powerful singing star
of the national tour of “The
Phantom of the Opera” is
joined by Wicked and
Hairspray star Shoshana
Bean on November 12 for
a concert of Broadway hits
and other favorites. For the

A historic dining
Carlsbad is an amazing city.
With its thriving and vibrant
culture, Carlsbad’s residents and
communities make it the model
for best places to live and work
in the nation. With summertime
on the horizon, the city comes to
life energized by perfect weather,
family activities and a spirit of fun
in the city we are fortunate to call
home.
As a family owned business,
Green Dragon Tavern & Museum
loves the energy of summertime
in the city.
"We experience an influx of
families looking to keep the
developing minds of their children engaged while learning
more about our nation’s history
at our free admission museum,"
said John Lek, general manager of Green Dragon Tavern &
Museum. "With the expense of
camps, attractions and childcare,
we take great pride in providing
this learning and cultural experience at no charge to our guests."
Visitors to Carlsbad get a truly
unique glimpse into East Coast
ambiance and the museum's historical private collection without leaving the city. GDT&M
regulars and out of town visitors
alike indulge in the New England
inspired cuisine. As many have
stated on social media, "GDT&M
is more than a great restaurant,
it’s a great experience unlike any
other dining option around."
Locals frequent GDT&M to
unwind during their phenomenal
happy hour, catch the latest sporting event on TV in what many have
described as feeling like “sitting
in the luxury box rather than the
cheap seats of other sports bars.”
Many begin Sunday funday with
brunch, bottomless mimosas and
all day happy hour. Others simply
enjoy the dining experience with
friends, colleagues and families.
The private banquet and meeting space is a destination of
choice for weddings, rehearsal
dinners, private parties and corporate meetings. Perhaps it’s the
classic and elegant ambiance or
simply the ample free parking
and complimentary high-speed
Wi-Fi! The banquet cuisine is
unrivaled in quality thanks to
the chefs who personally prepare
each dish. GDT&M is working on
enhancements to your museum
experience this summer.

Rise of two-in-one hotel properties
When RAR Hospitality
took over hotel management of the 106-room hotel
Staybridge Suites Carlsbad
and 133-key Holiday Inn
Carlsbad in February 2016,
it became one of the growing
number of two-in-one properties arising in San Diego.
The business model of a
two-in-one or “campus” hotel
as it’s called in the industry
has become increasingly
popular for hotel developers
and operators as a property
that features two different hotel brands within the
same hotel family on a single
parcel. Two-pack hotel assets
offer significant benefits to
the hotel developer with
building costs, space savings,
and operational efficiencies
while capitalizing broader
customer needs.
Tapping into two different
brands can be lucrative with
attracting different target
demographics including the
business or extended stay
traveler and leisure or family
consumer because of Carlsbad attractions such as North
County beaches, LEGOLAND
California, and the relaxed
resort atmosphere at an
approachable price point.
The Carlsbad hotel
campus also provides beneficial amenities to travelers
including:

•Multiple meeting
and conference rooms
•Resort-style pools
•24-hour fitness centers
•Expanded business
center capabilities
including a basketball
court and putting green
•Increased food and
beverage options
The Carlsbad campus is
among three campus U.S.
properties in RAR Hospitality’s portfolio with others in
Del Mar and Phoenix.

An exploration
of arts with a cause
New Village Arts

forum for laughter, discussion, and
deeper thinking
in Carlsbad since
2001. Through educational programs,
the Foundry Artist Studios, live music events,
and unique theatrical productions, NVA delivers
artistic opportunities and

that are crucial to a healthy
community.

conversations in
our community,
and to provide the
training ground
for future generations of art-makers
and art-lovers.
New Village Arts
