Sue G. Collins | scollins@citylifestyle.com

I'm excited to be a part of the Naples community and honored to be the new publisher of Naples City Lifestyle magazine. Glad to meet you! Since my first visit to Naples over a decade ago, I've dreamed of one day living here, what I refer to as "paradise." But you know all about that! I look forward to being a partner in supporting the growth of Naples Businesses and nonprofits. Please do not hesitate to reach out to learn more about me, Naples or to discuss your business or community support. In this issue, you'll find gift ideas for Valentine's Day and an introduction to two new dining spots that I'm excited about. Make a reservation at Del Mar for a special night out and stop in at Sante Fe Cafe at Waterside while you're out and about shopping. Let us know what you think by tagging us on your social media. We want to hear from you! Also, meet the man behind Live Fest. Did you go? Wasn't it great to see friends and hear all that live music right here in Naples? We're so fortunate to have such a powerhouse event happening annually. Enjoy this issue and do stay in touch. All my best, GREG DODGE, PUBLISHER @NAPLESLIFEST YLEMAG

Steve Hagenbuckle, Live Fest Creator and Executive Producer welcomes the crowd at The Ritz Carlton Golf Club @Tiburon

ARTICLE BY SUE G. COLLINS PHOTOGRAPHY BY CINEVISTA RHETT JARRETT, EVAN DOWLING

Growing up in Naples Steve Hagenbuckle had a vision for bringing a quality major music festival with top tier acts to his hometown. “Music and live performances have always been a big part of my life. Being able to collaborate with all of the participants that make Live Fest USA possible has been very rewarding,” says Steve, Live Fest founder and executive producer. Along with Live Fest friends, championship golfer Greg Norman and Rob Hartman, Wasserman Group VP and Event Head of the PGA QBE Shootout, Steve felt an enormous pride watching the enthusiastic crowd of 10,000 at this year’s event held in December. Their collective goal has always been to enhance the QBE Shootout experience but more importantly give back to the community of Naples and contribute to Cure Search and children’s cancer research and treatment. “Rob and I became good friends through the golf event as I am involved with the Tiburon Estates Master Association. He has worked closely with Greg for 15 years and I have known Greg for six years now through the QBE Shootout. Greg is an incredible philanthropist, businessman and supporter of Live Fest,” says Steve. Steve feels Naples offers a perfect setting for Live Fest. “Naples is a magical town that draws residents and tourists from all over the world. In general it has a higher level demographic that appreciates quality events in quality locations such as the Tiburon Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort,” says Steve. CONTINUED >

The team’s vision is not going unrecognized. They won Outdoor Festival of the Year their first year, an honor and a testament to the creative, production and operations teams in place. All of the hundred-plus team members were thrilled to have been honored. “Our production team, operations team, sound, lighting, artist selection, catering and media partners are top tier on all fronts,” says Steve. “Special thanks goes to Team Wasserman - Rob Hartman, Taylor Ives, Sarah Smith, Matt Hoover, Becky Honor, Taylor Low, Ted Kneale, Kevin DeDonato Tiburon Golf GM; Tiburon Golf

Lucas Mautone, General Manager. From pastries to eggs, bagels, coffee and more, start the day off right at Santa Fe Café.

Our publisher, Greg Dodge recently popped into Santa Fe Café News & Espresso, newly opened at Waterside Shops in North Naples. Since the closing of Starbucks nearly 3 years ago, shoppers and employees of businesses within the upscale shopping area have been anxiously awaiting the opening of a coffee stop and affordable eatery. Located next door to Max Mara, Santa Fe Café, meets that need and more! The restaurant is a step up from ordinary fast-casual dining, with a modern, open atmosphere and original dishes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Not only are shoppers discovering Santa Fe, but the café is quickly becoming a new destination for casual dining in the North Naples area. Santa Fe Café is locally owned and is operated under the direction of General Manager, Lucas Mautone, longtime Naples resident and former food and beverage manager and sommelier at La Playa Beach and Golf Resort in North Naples. “I am thrilled to take on this role at Santa Fe Cafe,” said Mautone. “Our menu is fresh, original and something that visitors to Waterside Shops have been wanting to experience. We are pleased to provide a another dining option for those looking for a quick meal, smoothie or great cup of coffee or espresso.” Meet up with friends for breakfast and dip into omelets, eggs benedict, lox salmon, and breakfast sandwiches, as well as pastries. The lunch and dinner menu specializes in American and Italian dishes, as well as compelling Argentinian selections. From specialty burgers and

hand-crafted sandwiches to salads, pastas, empanadas, and more, the menu offers something for a wide variety of palettes. Santa Fe Cafe also features a gourmet espresso bar and juice bar with fresh-squeezed juices, and vegetable and fruit smoothies. If you’re toasting, by all means, order a mimosa, bellini, beer, or glass of wine. Santa Fe Café features comfortable indoor and outdoor table seating (next to the beautiful fountains of Waterside), as well as counter seating. The restaurant is open Monday through Wednesday from 9am to 6pm, Thursday and Friday until 7pm, Saturday until 6pm and Sunday until 5pm. The menu is fresh, the prices are reasonable and the vibe is on-point at Santa Fe Café News & Espresso. SantaFeNaples.com 239.631.7516
