Turning Over A New Leaf?

We'll turn down the sheets. The Bohemian was designed green, all the way back in 1899 when houses were built smart to begin with. Amenities have been placed with gentle nature in mind since we opened our doors. With regional food and recipes, breakfasts are even easy on your heart 'cause we love our guests. So for Earth Day when you join us this month we will dig up some green in the heirloom hosta beds and in your pocket. Rooms are 39 dollars off, a buck for every year or so this great idea came into being.

Rejoice

Some days are simply beautiful, and you can put all your eggs in one basket. Easter is like that. A day of Hope and Promise. Celebrating with newlyweds and enjoying a little baby running around crying out 'egg egg', on finally a nice spring day, it doesn't get much better. We started with "Orange Toast" from Grandma's 1940's cookbook: Orange peel zest with 1/4 cup sugar (let sit a bit) sprinkle over a German Rye slice of buttered toast, pop in oven to melt sugar. Very nice with grapefruit. Simple is Sweet. Always a good start.

New Ulm Gives

Another example of New Ulm, not just Minnesota nice, nice. In partnership with the Governer's office and the Chamber of Commerce, The Bohemian Bed and Breakfast along with local business's giving back to the community are recognized for their support and efforts. Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch? Speaking of lunches, the Larkspur Market has reopened as Lola's Larkspur, An American Bistro. But what I'm really excited about is the Italian food. So with extended hours, new menu and ownership, it is worth a visit. If it weren't so damn far I would pack up as many of her baked goods that could fit in the PT and head up to Moorhead. That, my friends, must be where we get our hardiness. What is it about the Minnesota Midwest? Now there is some giving going on! This isn't forclosure, this is flooding and people are losing their homes with the only bailing being sandbags and escape routes. God be with them, and all who are helping. That is giving some 100 plus percent.

Gypsy Campfires

For being somewhat of a German Hamlet in New Ulm, the Bohemian soul has had quite a presence of late. Maritza played at the Rhein River Arts Center recently. Forlorn tunes of lost love played opposite the jaunty hopefulness of such is life. For me it is the music to describe the oft asked question of "What is 'Bohemian'?". Those Hungarian nomadic travelers of the late 18th century making their way through the European countryside entertaining with music, dance and common thievery. Ending in the underground streets of Paris, when asked from where they came: Bohemia, the now non existent country was the last place they passed through. Thus a direct and unromantic answer coined one of the most enchanting descriptors of artists we have today. Ah to be Bohemian, and you can be here cause I've been playing Maritza's CD over breakfast for days.

The Romans Are Coming

Mark your Fall calenders and witness how our Hermann on High helped with the fall of the Roman Empire. Even my pacifist blood finds the story, uh, captivating. "Give Me Back My Legions"

May the Bock Be With You

Today, and regarding Bockfest, no one says it better than Mr. Ted Marti, owner and originator of America's Best Outdoor Winter Party. Bockfest.

Pack Your Bags

This weekend I found myself in the Isles. Or should I say Bill and Kate Isles found their way into my heart. Singer songwriters from the shores of Duluth performed at our favorite venue here in New Ulm. Delivering stories and original music with a sweet candid sincerity that appealed to an appreciative crowd. As I sat there I thought they would be great on the porch some summer's eve. They do just that: house parties. Just in time for Valentine's Day and on the red high heels of New in Town, the Minne Sutra number was a hit! I'm watching you tube for this ice fishing lovefest fantasy. It doesn't take out of pocket to have an out of the ordinary Valentine's. Visit The Bohemian, help is here for out of the box date ideas in the budget of your dreams.
