 Hello Abu Dhabi !!
 It’s official: we are probably the first magazine in this region to integrate mobile tags
 to create a truly ‘multimedia magazine.’ A few publications (Golf Digest, Wakeboarding,            4 Mail Shot & Raising the Bar
 Self ) are experimenting with it in other parts of the world. Is it a gimmick? We are
 engaging with developers from all over world and everyone is excited about it. But in                        5 ShopCall
 truth only time will tell.                                                                                   5 Shop Call

 We suspect mobile tags might work for Tempo. Our research shows us that our
 readership is characterized by high smart phone penetration; most fall in the 16-35                  6 What’s Hot in Abu Dhabi
 age group and are tech savvy. We also think tags reflect the spirit of our magazine:
 unique, edgy and innovative. But we also realize that not everyone has a smart phone,                    7 World Cup Fever
 or indeed wants to engage in the experience. So we will also try to keep tags minimal
 and non-intrusive.
                                                                                                            8 My Abu Dhabi
 Another reason we were attracted to tags is that it conserves paper. By design we
 have kept our magazine small and lightweight. We engage with readers through our
 website and social media, and dispatch a large number of e-magazines. We believe that                        10 City Bites
 tags will enable us to keep our print run under control, while offering a greater
 amount of content.                                                                                        12 People Meter

                                             One of the oldest restaurants in Abu Dhabi, Hemingway’s specializes in
                                             South American cuisine and sure does a good job in keeping their standards
                                             high! This nicely positioned restaurant is popular among sports fans to
                                             spend their afternoons and late evenings watching major sports events
                                             on their well placed TVs. As for the lunch served, there is little to say about
                                             the initial bread basket but the quesadillas is worth applauding. This can
                                             be enjoyed with fresh sour cream, guacamole and salsa sauce. Best of all
                                             is the cucumber and lime juice, a combination that is hardly ever seen on
                                             most restaurant menus. A perfect drink to beat the heat, won’t you say? We
     recommend taking your business colleagues for a late lunch and let the accounts deal with the upshot bill!

  • 2. VOLUME11 | JUNE 1-15, 2010 th e r h y th m o f your this month city Hello Abu Dhabi !! It’s official: we are probably the first magazine in this region to integrate mobile tags to create a truly ‘multimedia magazine.’ A few publications (Golf Digest, Wakeboarding, 4 Mail Shot & Raising the Bar Self ) are experimenting with it in other parts of the world. Is it a gimmick? We are engaging with developers from all over world and everyone is excited about it. But in 5 ShopCall truth only time will tell. 5 Shop Call We suspect mobile tags might work for Tempo. Our research shows us that our readership is characterized by high smart phone penetration; most fall in the 16-35 6 What’s Hot in Abu Dhabi age group and are tech savvy. We also think tags reflect the spirit of our magazine: unique, edgy and innovative. But we also realize that not everyone has a smart phone, 7 World Cup Fever or indeed wants to engage in the experience. So we will also try to keep tags minimal and non-intrusive. 8 My Abu Dhabi Another reason we were attracted to tags is that it conserves paper. By design we have kept our magazine small and lightweight. We engage with readers through our website and social media, and dispatch a large number of e-magazines. We believe that 10 City Bites tags will enable us to keep our print run under control, while offering a greater amount of content. 12 People Meter We love tag innovation but we want to know what you think.

For starters, the buffet offers a wide variety of salads with plenty of fresh breads to chock up the plate. The mushroom and smoked salmon are delightfully appetizing and can be enjoyed with the wide range of cheese selection. Although the pastas are probably not the best bet in the buffet, the portions are rather large and cooked by the chef to your liking. The music in the restaurant is extremely enjoyable and is a good pick for jazz lovers. The dessert selection is flawless, making for a sweet and effortless good evening.

This nicely positioned restaurant is popular among sports fans to spend their afternoons and late evenings watching major sports events on their well placed TVs. As for the lunch served, there is little to say about the initial bread basket but the quesadillas is worth applauding. This can be enjoyed with fresh sour cream, guacamole and salsa sauce. Best of all is the cucumber and lime juice, a combination that is hardly ever seen on most restaurant menus. A perfect drink to beat the heat, won’t you say? We recommend taking your business colleagues for a late lunch and let the accounts deal with the upshot bill!
