Spirits on the Bayfront - MEDIA TRIP 11/2012 - Casablanca Inn
Media Invitation ~ November 13 – 15, 2012 CASABLANCA INN
Spirits on the Bayfront ‘Haunted Tales’ at the Tini Martini Bar
St. Augustine, Florida (August 25, 2012) SPIRITS ON THE BAYFRONT at the historic Casablanca Inn (circa 1914) could mean the ‘Shaken, Not Stirred’ type of cocktail served at the Inn’s Tini Martini Bar on the verandah – OR – Haunted Tales about the Inn and its ghosts.
Perhaps it’s a combination of the two that will be featured during the upcoming MEDIA TRIP November 13-15, 2012. It’s a 2- night visit that will showcase the Inn’s illustrious history, ghostly tales on the bayfront, dining at popular eateries within steps of the award-winning boutique hotel and a journey through the Tini Martini Bar’s menu of cocktails.
