Not Your Father’s Root Beer Floats
Over the summer, my beau and I were in Connecticut for a birthday party. We brought the typical Bud Lights with us, but one of Albert’s friends showed up with something extra special: Not Your Father’s Root Beer. Basically, it’s alcoholic root beer. I know…right?! Though it’s 6% ABV, it doesn’t taste alcoholic at all … Continue reading
Genuine Liquorette
There are two directions you can go in at Genuine Liquorette, the new subterranean bar below Genuine Superette. You can either get a drink via the Cha-Chunker, a contraption that cuts a hole into a canned beverage, into which a mini bottle of booze is inserted.

Still not cheap, but every little bit helps. Like many fancy drink places, this one is something of a speakeasy, located at 132 1/2 E. … Continue reading
Bathtub Gin
One of my brother’s best friends was in town last weekend, interviewing for fellowship programs. I was determined to make my brother proud and show him how amazing NYC can be so we filled the schedule with museums, restaurants, and [of course] bars. Between dinner and an apartment party on Saturday night, we went to … Continue reading
