cold. Rinse with water, add six ice cubs, and chill in freezer for 10 minutes before using. Components: I prefer Bombay Sapphire but respect the Beefeater and plain Bombay drinker. Tanqueray is to be avoided as is most other gin....

and the originator of pouring vodka, gin and tequila at less than 5 degrees from three tall frozen towers pouring from a dozen taps to ensure you the coldest martini in the country. As you look into the lounge, you will immediately...

Best bars for what? For vodka I go to Moscow on the Hill in St Paul, which also has tasty Russian food. We tend to end up at the Bulldog NE for Burgers and Belgian beer because, we like the beer and we frequently slide into...

trumps service, of course). I tend to go for heavy, French style dishes but am pretty open-minded. Price isn’t an option but would like to keep food and wine/beer/liquor under $150.00 per meal before tax/tip. BONUS if the...

. And then you get the pizza. And realize that real life trumps media all the time.

The eggplant parm. sandwich from Mercato on Toronto St. Simply the best, ooziest, tastiest mess of a sandwich you can find. Trumps the famous St. Lawrence market e.p. by far.

I’m afraid we have nothing to offer you that you can’t trump in NYC. That said, and in complete disregard of your admonition about cab or walking distance from the convention center, if you have time for a field trip,...

So I assume this trumps Minhag Yisroel Kedin Hu. In my house and in my father’s house we ate exclusively dairy on Shevous. I wasn’t aware that this was an optional choice rather than one driven by one’s...

I was there last June for the ‘banquet’. And it was quite the spectacle. Everything about it. There was more food, vodka and gaudiness than I had ever seen in my life. I don’t remember much specifically about the...

I use a 7oz. martini glass and use 1 cup of vodka (with just a drop of vermouth) in the shaker. This makes two tails. I also have smaller glasses, but with my guests they don’t seem to get much use. :) I remember having...

, we like funky. The chef’s work trumps all, but atmosphere counts, too. Good wines a plus, but we suspect that this is less a general challenge than what we are accustomed to (read: East Coast gouging). A broad seafood...

vodkas in a glass and call it a “martini” but in looking at Mix Lounges menu, I don’t see a drop of vermouth or gin in any of them...except for the “long branch iced tea” (I want my bartender to...

Today, I went into Williams-Sonoma where they had a pie demo going, complete with a copy of Cooks' Illustrated’s Nov/Dec 07 recipe with the vodka “no fail” pie crust recipe. My personal irritation with people...

I can see the point, but doesn’t casting and imprinting an image like that upon your possible love interest on the first date set a very very high and unrealistic bar? I’m thinking greasy Donald Trump with that...
