If you’re craving the tender lamb and fluffy pita of a gyro, you’ll fall in love with Al Basha Mediterranean Grill. This health-conscious restaurant prepares each traditional Mediterranean dish by hand every day, using authentic spices and techniques that infuse each meat or vegetable with tons of fresh flavor.

For lunch, Al Basha’s sandwiches and wraps make a quick and affordable meal, and they come in a variety of kabob meat options or gyro style with tangy tzatziki sauce. Dinner entrees with chicken, beef, or lamb arrive with your choice of creamy hummus, eggplant casserole, or a variety of other Mediterranean side dishes, and there are even a number of falafel plates and vegetable-based entrees for vegetarian guests. Al Basha’s interior is sparse and casual, but the outdoor patio features umbrella-covered tables perfect for warm summer nights.

If you’re addicted to puzzles, you’ve probably already tried all of the jigsaw puzzles, Rubik’s cubes, word games, and logic problems that you can get your hands on. If you’re tired of your usual puzzles and want something new, tour puzzles are a fun and exciting alterative.

Tour puzzles use one token that represents a traveler.
The token is you, the person attempting to solve the puzzle, or you may have numerous different tokens that you must control. These are the objects that move around the board.

There is usually a designated beginning and end to a tour puzzle.
The player starts at the starting line and attempts to make it to the finish, and there are sometimes certain items to retrieve along the way. Some tour puzzles have special rules at different points in the puzzle.

Tour puzzles come in a variety of forms.
Mazes and labyrinths require the player to navigate through a series of confusing twists and turns without crossing the walls or borders. A knight’s tour uses a chessboard and attempts to visit every square at least once, and logic mazes are mazes with special rules and requirements for completing them.

One of the most successful fast food franchises of the century is Jamba Juice. With a menu of smoothies that fuse fresh fruit and various nutritional additives to create filling, healthy drinks that leave diners satisfied, it’s staked out a comfortable niche in a crowded industry. And the Webster Jamba Juice is a sterling example of the franchise.

Unlike other smoothie places, Jamba Juice doesn’t use fruit syrups to make their drinks – everything is made from fresh fruits and vegetables. Some favorite combinations include the pomegranate pick-me-up, made from the antioxidant-rich super fruit along with strawberries, blueberries and raspberry sherbet. If you’re health-conscious, they also sell a number of vegetable-based smoothies like the orange carrot karma. Jamba Juice has also diversified into a variety of food offerings, including baked goods, breakfast wraps and flatbreads. The commitment to the environment extends through using recycled paper for all their cups.
