Lots to cover this week, in a notably boozy edition, with blazing cocktails and a first night review of an unexpectedly dramatic show…
“The earlier disturbance is long forgotten as fake snow falls into the audience, much to the delight of the kids, and much to the relief of any parents who thought it might be an automatic fire hydrant of some kind.” Our review of an eventful first night of How The Grinch Stole Christmas
“We’re coming to the end of a light dinner at old-school dining institution Antoine’s, and the tablecloth notably appears to be on fire.” We learn about the flaming appeal of the Café Brûlot cocktail with writer Sue Strachan.
“One of the main allures is that - like a Brandy Milk Punch or Mimosa - you can drink (The Ramos Gin Fizz) at breakfast without any hint of shame or expectation of derision. My own personal results were…well, let’s say mercurial to be diplomatic.” We delve into New Orleans cocktails with Cure’s Neal Bodenheimer

Whatever you’re doing this week, have a good one, and as always, much love.
