New York is currently on a high as the New York Knicks are getting ready to head into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Pepsi is stepping in.
Pepsi is looking to send some lucky fans to enjoy the game from a suite. At Noon, the soft drink brand will hide five limited- edition “Pepsi X NY Knicks” collector cans across the five boroughs in bodegas and pizza shops, one per borough.
To get clues on where to look and to learn the code, you have to follow Pepsi on Instagram, with the first clue dropping at Noon. The first fan in Knicks gear to say the code word and find the can takes home two suite tickets for the home game on Thursday, May 21.
The rapper seemingly confirmed the birth of her first child with rapper 21 Savage in a video she posted on her social media. The video shows a compilation of her pregnancy with reaction videos of her family and friends finding out that she’s pregnant. It showed a small clip of Savage at the baby shower.
At the end of the video, Latto said, “Imma need a million dollars a show.” The screen eventually goes black, with the date “5/29” appearing. Later, you hear what seems to be nurses saying, “go, go, go” as machines beep.
Aside from the baby announcement, the rapper also revealed that her next album, Big Mama, will allegedly be her last.
NJ Jerk Fest is only a few weeks away; the kickoff celebration has just begun. NJ Jerk Fest and Jerk Reserve hosted an exclusive private dinner and invited content creators to get a taste.
The experience was curated by Jerk Reserve’s founder, Chef Callender.
The 4-course meal paired with 4 different wines, with Sommelier Shamarie McDonald, explaining each pairing. Chef Callender prepared the meals and used the spices from the Jerk Reserve line to allow attendees to get an authentic taste of Jamaica.
The palate cleanser was the Amuse-Bouche. A compressed watermelon crudo infused with whipped feta, toasted coconut, Jerk Reserve Pepper Sand No.2, and Olive Oil. It was paired with Issa Rae’s wine Viarae Prosecco.
Next was a special spin on cornbread, called Cornbread Supreme. Infused with Gouda cheese, Jerk Reserve Everton Blend No.4, Truffle Honey, Vegan Caviar, herbed Creme Fraîche, Crispy Shallots, and Fresh Herbs. It was paired with a dry, crisp white wine called Burgans Albariño.
Up next was the main course and the introductions of the red wines. Chef Callender served Jerk Shank that had been slow-cooking for 12 hours. The meat was marinated in Jerk Reserve Adassa OG Blend No. 14, a coconut coffee-jerk reduction, served with a Parmesan Potato Pave and Broccolini. The vibrant French red wine, Domaine De La Chapelle Bizot Beaujolais, was its pair.
Last but certainly not least was the dessert. Guests were served 11th Hour Bread Pudding served with Vanilla Ice Cream, Jerk Reserve Marcia Boogie Blend No.8, infused with a mocha drizzle, and orange zest. This dish was paired with Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon with rich notes of blackberry, cherry, and vanilla.
To get a taste of all of these delicious foods and more, make sure you attend NJ Jerk Fest in East Brunswick, New Jersey, at Middlesex County Fairgrounds on Sunday, May 24. Tickets are still available.
