The event rooms are spacious and come with tables, chairs and chair covers. The rooms are also carpeted so you will need to rent a dance floor. They also have a prep kitchen and 2 refrigerators for storage. The only con is that only had one cart available to transport items from the door to the room upstairs. I suggest that people have their own carts or buggies. All of our guests enjoyed themselves and we look forward to hosting our event next year.

I have done yearly work volunteer events here for the last 6 years. I don't mind setting up the…read moreevents here since it's closer to home. Much of the food is donated by local stores or restaurants. They get a ton of stuff into their warehouse. They always go through the daily protocol in the big conference room. You are to wear gloves and a hair cover and beard cover for those with facial hairs. Now you can add a face mask to the attire too. You start the event work around 9am and work until 11am to noon. The warehouse job is the hardest. I have sorted through some rough looking potatoes, to water logged and decrepit looking cucumbers and tomatoes. It makes you really appreciate the foods we can easily pick through at the grocery store to get the most appealing ones. Any sign of mold gets tossed. This is the hardest of the jobs, but also the most rewarding since it's labor intensive too. I have also had the pleasure of assembling sandwiches in the kitchen too, with wheat squares of bread, some meat like slices of pork meat of some sort and cheese too. Volunteering your time and energy is greatly rewarding and so helpful to those in need. This is a great center that gives back ro the community. At the end of your day, they will brief you on how many bags or boxes of food were boxed that day. It's the only day big the original big 3 OEMs groups can collaborate and work together side by side without any intellectual property issues too.

So pay attention to their hours and if you're looking for a great place to work from or are interested in learning more about what a membership here could bring, definitely check BasBlue out!!

This is a very nicely renovated mansion turned into a woman's club. Like a late 1800's gentleman's club, only for women. There is a locker room/workout room/nursing area, but I did not see them because I am not a woman. They have lectures and groups within the club. They have a full kitchen, and the usual food on offer seemed like you would expect at a starbucks or better. They have drinks, coffee, and wine. The wine was higher end. And they use an ordering app so members at different rooms of the club can order easily. Lots of rooms. Dining and lecture rooms, lounge and club type rooms, conference rooms. A large event room. All really nice. There are smaller serving bars on the second and third floors. Depending on age, annual membership is 600 or 1200 dollars. It looked great. Maybe it could have used more restrooms, but that is sort of reaching for something negative to say.

What a great hidden gem!…read more Located in the lower level of the Zen Center is the Raw Food Cafe, which serves up organic & locally grown ingredients into their deeeeelicious raw vegan menu. I know when i hear the words organic & vegan used in the same sentence, i think of healthy food that's rather bland. However, the Living Zen Organics is anything but bland & boring. Their food is savory, scrumptious, and actually good for you! I've been here twice (went about 2.5 years ago and just last month) and i'm just in awe of how they make vegetables & grains so tastyyyy! Love the food here! I've tried their hummus, chipotle/garlic pumpkin seeds, kale salad (i don't know what they add to it but it's AMAZING!), quinoa dish, pho bowl (which came in a bowl the size a pot, awesomness!!!), soups, flax seed avocado sandwich, raw Mayan brownie sundae, and their soy milkshake with toasted shavings of coconut is UNBEEEELIEVABLE!!! That being said, you've gotta try this place! Their menu changes weekly, they're only open like two days a week and Saturdays they do all raw foods, which i went to last month & it was amazing!!! Raw Food Cafe's location is equally charming! You ring the door bell at the side wooden door, then someone comes up to open the door, you then go downstairs, enter through another small wooden door, and voila you're in!!! FYI: Seating is limited, they have about 6 seating tables and 4 other tables up on the raised platform for the more adventurous patrons who want to sit on pillows and eat : )

We stayed for a long time and the employee was available and friendly, but did not rush or crowd us.
