  • Best Places to Drink in New York City: Peter McManus Cafe Situated on the northwest corner of 19th Street and 7th Avenue is a bar that we wish we could keep a secret. It’s welcoming, it’s not crowded, the food is good and the juke box is always rockin’. The drinks don’t run cheap, but the beer is always cold and the bartender will often throw […] Verbal Vixen 0 Comments April 26, 2012
  • Best Places to Drink in NYC: Apotheke Our obsession with Chinatown continues! More than a hundred years ago, if a poor soul wandered down Doyers Street, it was probably the last you ever heard of them. Home of the infamous “Bloody Angle,” Doyers Street was once a murderous, blood-soaked alley full of pirates, demons, and  the infamous Bill the Butcher. Now it’s […] Literary Man 0 Comments April 20, 2012
  • Thirsty Thursday: The Tin House Martini Developed by Mr. Greg Connolly, a bartender at the Four Seasons Restaurant in NYC, the Tin House Martini is an inventive take on a beloved classic. Hopefully one day we’ll be drinking one while toasting a longed for publication by one of our own in this cherished Portland, Oregon based magazine.
