Awww, kitties! They'll be fine. After getting acclimated, they'll forget all about it and be happy in their new home.

Two Cats Go Cross Country
I am worried about these two. When I adopted them from a shelter on the Upper East Side I had no earthly idea that I might be moving 2500 miles away in under a year. But here I am. I mean, here we are. I'm scared that one or both of them will bolt in the security line at the airport and take t...
Oh, also, a bottle of St. Germain.

What's In Your Cabinet?
First Paul Clarke posted the contents of his liquor cabinet on his site, and then my co-author Chuck Taggart did the same, and ...well, wow. I am clearly outmatched here. So what's in mine? Not nearly as much cool stuff, but it's a decent start. Here's what I've got, counting some miniature b...

-Tini Dancers
The Times examines places that know how to make a real Martini, with emphasis on cocktailian joints around town. This seems as good a time as any, actually, to resurrect something I wrote a couple years ago as a comment on Czeltic Girl's site: Vidiot's Grumpy, Snobbish, And Cantankerous Yet Iro...
Wow! Will they have this event again in OCtober, when I am in NYC??

LeNell's Rye Class
A couple days ago, I took a rye tasting class led by "LeNell" Smothers (of her eponymous shop, which is easily my favorite liquor store in the world.) We gathered at LeNell's apartment, where we found a dining-room table laid with Riedel tasting glasses, silver expectorant receptacles (somehow ...

Not Just Jello Shots
Molecular mixologist Eben Freeman (at Tailor) creates solid cocktails. Not "solid" as in well-made, balanced cocktails -- though they may well be; I haven't been over there -- but "solid" as in Not Plasma, Liquid, or Gas. Currently, the lineup features a jellied Cuba Libre ("Cube-a Libre", per...
Mmmm, violet syrup ...

Bubbly Party
Anita and Cameron over at Married...With Dinner had a neat idea for a party: We’re having a few friends over for cocktails and canapés tomorrow night, and one of the ways we’re planning to keep things simple is by setting up a do-it-yourself Champagne bar. We’ll put a case of bubbly on ice, line...
