San Antonio Designated ‘Creative City of Gastronomy’ by UNESCO

November 2, 2017

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On Tuesday, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated San Antonio a Creative City of Gastronomy, making the city part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). San Antonio is only the second city in the U.S. to earn this distinction, and the first in Texas.

San Antonio’s culinary heritage is significant for its confluence of many world cultures such as Mexican, Spanish, German and French, as well its geology and geography.

Drawn to San Antonio’s river running between the coastal plains and hill country, for 13,000 years indigenous people foraged roots, harvested pecans and hunted game. Trails and river ways brought trade with other groups who introduced gulf coast game. In the 1700s, Spanish colonists and Canary Islanders introduced new traditions and tastes. Other new flavors, spices and ingredients from Europe, Asia and Africa came with German and other European settlers in the 1800s.

Today the city’s culinary scene has since blossomed in its richness, with chefs honoring and celebrating its culinary heritage through preservation and innovation. Beyond the famous River Walk and historic walls of The Alamo, San Antonio’s culinary scene has historically been firmed planted in blends of Tex-Mex, but has now progressed to “Tex-Next.”

As a gateway to Latin America, San Antonio is uniquely positioned to showcase and celebrate the richness of this cuisine. The third campus of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is located in San Antonio. Dedicated to the foundations of culinary instruction as well as specializations in Latin cuisine, this campus takes advantage of San Antonio’s cultural influences and access to indigenous ingredients. The CIA campus is located at Pearl, a 22-acre indie food haven in a repurposed German brewery built in 1883. With 18 concepts, including a robust weekend farmers market and the city’s first food hall, Pearl is a destination onto itself.

UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network promotes international cooperation and encourages the sharing of experiences and resources to promote local development through culture and creativity. The local food movement and enthusiasm for sustainable programs spurred the dramatic evolution of San Antonio’s culinary landscape and inspired a comprehensive effort to apply for the UNESCO designation in June 2017.

San Antonio’s officials on the designation:

“This designation is a great honor for San Antonio,” San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. “As a Creative City of Gastronomy, we will seek to strengthen and expand international connections, share our culinary arts and heritage globally and introduce San Antonio as an international culinary destination. We look forward to actively participating in the Network, which is aligned with our dedication to sustainable and equitable urban planning.”

“Travelers are increasingly seeking a destination with a robust culinary scene as a way to really get to know the heart of a city,” said Casandra Matej, President & CEO of Visit San Antonio. “The UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy designation confirms what millions of visitors have known all along—San Antonio’s cuisine is truly unique and authentic to our region.”

“One of San Antonio’s most important identities comes from its deep culinary traditions which began with the innovative agricultural techniques of the Native American peoples who lived here for thousands of years,” said Richard Perez, San Antonio Chamber of Commerce President and CEO. “These have evolved and mixed with many others to create a unique and burgeoning food scene. The San Antonio Chamber is honored to have been part of the UNESCO Creative City application process, and we are eager to learn from and share information with other Creative Cities on a global level to enhance the culinary arts.”

“This is an exciting time for the culinary arts in San Antonio—the designation reinforces the creativity and hard work of every individual who participates in and supports the local culinary community and the philanthropy of so many groups, like the Chef Cooperatives and our chapter of Les Dames D’Escoffier,” Chef Johnny Hernandez of Grupo La Gloria said. “From showcasing our culinary heritage to sharing local innovations and leading the way with San Antonio’s brand of culinary diplomacy, the opportunities afforded us as a City of Gastronomy are all reasons for San Antonio to celebrate today.”

“The international bonds San Antonio solidified as a World Heritage Site are invaluable to us as a community and growing city,” District 3 City Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran said. “Becoming a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy will serve as another catalyst that encourages equity and more opportunity to protect and promote our local cultural assets at home and on the global stage.” Viagran’s district is home to four of the five San Antonio Missions that comprise a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The UCCN covers seven thematic areas: Craft and Folk Arts, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts and Music. UNESCO announced this week that 64 cities have joined the Creative Cities Network. The UCCN is now comprised of a total of 180 cities from 72 countries.

Cars Take Lead Role in American Honda October Sales Gains

November 1, 2017

0

Honda Civic set a new October sales record as cars took the leading role in Honda's October sales gains.

TORRANCE, California, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today reported October sales of 127,353 Honda and Acura vehicles, an increase of 0.9 percent vs. October 2016. With strong sales of passenger cars, Honda Division reported an increase of 1.2 percent on sales of 114,655. Acura Division sales were down slightly at 1.3 percent on sales of 12,698 vehicles.

Honda
Honda delivered another strong month with passenger car sales playing the lead role. Civic outpaced the market again with another double-digit gain while Accord, strengthened by the debut of the all-new 2018 model, gained 4.7 percent in October. Increased production of Pilot also paid dividends as sales climbed 18.5 percent for the month. Elsewhere in the truck lineup, tight supplies of key model trims checked sales growth.

Honda car sales gained 6.3 percent in October, with 60,283 units sold.
Civic sales climbed 15 percent on sales of 30,319 for the month, a new October record.
Accord posted 26,740 sales, up 4.7 percent with the debut of the all-new 2018 model, with 2.0T and Hybrid variants yet to launch.
Pilot sales gained notably in October for the second straight month, with sales up 18.5 percent on sales of 10,285.

“With key competitors resorting to aggressive discounting and heavy incentives even on new models, Honda is riding the growing momentum of a robust product lineup boosted by the all-new Accord,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president of the Automobile Division of American Honda. “As the rollout of the new 2018 Accord continues, we’re focused on a strong finish to 2017 and a fourth consecutive year of record sales.”

Acura
Acura sales were led by MDX, which gained again as it benefitted from higher production volume with the complete shift of production to the East Liberty Plant in Ohio. And while sedan and RDX sales were challenged by the aggressive incentives by competitors, the NSX had its best sales month since going on sale in 2016 with a 30 percent gain in October.

MDX sales were up 4.7 percent in October, with 5,287 units sold.
RLX sales are climbing, helped more significantly by the RLX Sport Hybrid as it continues to gain recognition. RLX gained 6.5 percent on sales of 99 units.
ILX sales were up 2.6 percent on sales of 1,025 vehicles.

“We’re pleased to see the higher inventory from the move of Acura MDX production quickly result in stronger sales,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president & general manager of the Acura division. “With the redesigned RLX ready to hit the market in the coming days sporting a strong expression of the new Acura design direction, we’ll look to close 2017 with stronger sedan sales.”

First Medical E-Commerce Site Launches in New York Just as Open Enrollment Starts!

November 1, 2017

0

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Urgent Medical Access, UMA Health, announced today its insurance-free, affordable health care marketplace is the ideal way for patients in the New York area with high-deductible plans or no insurance to shop for doctors and save money. Best of all, there are no membership or hidden fees for doctors or patients. UMA doctors can usually see patients on the same or next day.

In addition, UMA gives patients access to some of the best doctors as tens of thousands of providers have left insurance due to its red tape and low reimbursement rates.

“As a practicing doctor I have seen firsthand how insurance comes between patients and optimal care,” said UMA founder Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh. He continued, “We developed this platform to solve the biggest insurance-related health care problems. We are solving a big pain point for doctors while simultaneously saving patients thousands in unnecessary premiums. Patients are now opting for higher deductibles and shopping for basic health care and dental needs on UMA’s site.”

UMA Health allows doctors of all specialties to create a completely free profile offering their common services and pricing while patients are able to book appointments based on price, distance, ratings, and availability.

The platform is cash-pay (credit card), bypassing insurance entirely, though HSAs are accepted.

By using UMA Health, patients can save money and doctors can offer lower rates since they don’t have the insurance costs which can be more than 61% of their overhead expenses.

Patients know exactly what they pay and no longer receive surprise bills in the mail. Dr. Hendizadeh is available to speak about how new direct-pay doctor alternatives to insurance will allow far more of our nation’s healthcare spending to go to actual healthcare, not insurance company profits.

UMA connects self-paying patients to doctors, and Dentists. UMA is currently featuring doctors in the NYC area and growing quickly. The platform skips insurance and there are no surprise bills to follow when using UMA. It enables and empowers patients to find doctors based on cost, distance, ratings and availability. Patients and members of the press may book an appointment online at umahealth.com.
