Trophy winner as voted by the New York locals

With only 4 hours left to vote for the latest “Best” winner, New Yorkers are leaning towards 230 Fifth as the winner of ‘Best Rooftop Bar’ ~ and claiming their golden trophy, Mike, the world’s first human trophy… at least until he has to grab a slice or use the bathroom.

With 76% of the vote already, looks like 230 Fifth will top competing bar Hudson Sky Terrace for the award. If you haven’t gotten a glimpse of Mike on TV (and you have to be swift, Mike is a true New Yorker, he’s here and then off to the next in the blink of an eye), you can check him out at nbcnewyork.com and join the trophy debate. Mike, aka the Golden Local, aka the Human Trophy, recognizes local New York establishments of outstanding quality – which in this town is no small honor, especially since the poeple of New York pick the winners. Get in on the real trophy action…

Serena Beats Her Sister to the Wimbledon Trophy

Serena Wins Wimbledon Trophy

Yet again the Williams sisters meet in a tennis final, yet again, it is at Wimbledon. It seems as though they are the only two female tennis players in the game recently, or at least the only two that have consistently stayed at the top over the years.

The women’s Wimbledon final was played on July 4th, a great day for any American to come away with a stunning trophy. Serena, the older sister, beat out Venus in two sets. The sister have met each other in a finals setting 21 times, eight being grand slam championships. Serena has come out with 11 grand slam titles while Venus is right behind her with seven. While they had to face each other in the final, it wasn’t without al ittle help from Venus did Serena get there. Venus beat out top seeded Dinara Safina to clear the way for her championship meeting with her sister.

Serena is looking towards her next grand slam win to catch up to her idol, Billie Jean King’s record. We will see who will take the trophy at the US Open in August. Maybe Venus will be looking for some sisterly revenge.

Trophy and awards news from Avon Park

The STARS came into their own, with a swim meet and awards for their achievements

This past weekend some very special STARS athletes swam to compete with eachother, overcome personal obstacles, and be awarded for their best efforts.

On June 27 At Avon Park High School the swimming competition took place, much to the delight of the anxious athletes. More than 40 athletes competed in aquacize, lap competitions and noodle races – there were various levels of competition so each participant could compete according to their abilities. And they didn’t let their nerves or special circumstances hold them back; swimmers, even those with cerebral palsy, found magic in the water and came out winners. After the meet the competitors were treated to a light lunch before the awards ceremony.

And the human trophy for best stadium goes to…

Golden Local Human Trophy

NBC has been stirring up many debates, pitting one institution against another, so the public can vote on which is the better location for services offered. We have seen bars, restaurants, and  now stadiums in competition to see who would receive a trophy, and therefore be graced with the presence of Mike, the “Golden Local” human trophy. In this case, it was Citi Field that earned 62% over Yankee Stadium with 38% . I guess this adds fuel to the fire for both sides that are constantly in arguements over which is the better team. It can be said now the Mets at least have one thing going for them; their popular stadium.
