Get Rosé Ready for the Warm Months

Get Rosé Ready for the Warm Months

Spring is finally here and Summer is fast approaching. For most seasonal wine drinkers, like myself, that means getting excited about the lighter wines perfect for drinking in the heat.

Do you enjoy watching bartenders who are terrible at their jobs get reprimanded by a giant man who has worked in hospitality for years and has a very aggressive speaking voice? Do you take personal pride watching sleazy managers hitting on guests get what’s coming to them? Do you completely agree that bar stools with backs cut off the aspect […]

Escape to Carmel-by-the-Sea in California

Escape to Carmel-by-the-Sea in California

Nothing beats escaping the winter doldrums and we recently were treated to an amazing getaway in Monterey County, California, where we visited both Carmel-by-the-Sea and Carmel Valley.

Paris Cocktails: French Twists On Your Favorite Drinks

Paris Cocktails: French Twists On Your Favorite Drinks

The first thing I should probably mention about Paris Cocktails, a book by Doni Belau, is how it looks on the outside (all “don’t judge a book by its cover” arguments aside). This small, hardcover collection of recipes features a martini-shaped cut-out on the front, revealing a map of Paris underneath. It is extremely pleasing to the eye, to say […]

Buckets of Booze + Dueling Pianos = One Helluva Night Out

Buckets of Booze + Dueling Pianos = One Helluva Night Out

In a city filled with one bar after the next, it can be quite a feat trying to differentiate yourself from all the rest. Howl at the Moon, a well-known franchise, opened up shop in Midtown, placed conveniently in the Theater District.
