About Last Night
The opening of Steve Ellis' Barber shop inspired paintings went off with out a hitch at the infamous lower east side Franks Chop Shop, which is real live barber shop for the hipster in you. The coiffure inspired art pieces depict instruments such as sheers, combs, and razor blades are vibrantly displayed. These life like oil on canvas painting render as photo images from a distance and are very pleasing to the eye. The Images will be up for the remainder of the month so stop by for a view and maybe a cut, and buy.

New Cocktail Alert
I found a new cocktail (the Adelita) made from my now new favorite liquor Tequila Cream which is produced by 1921 Tequila. This desert cocktail can be found at Cafe Frida, and 1921's tequila cream can be found at Astor Liquors and soon to be featured in my home refrigerator chilling nicely to pass away the winter blues. The taste is sweet, simple, and clean. The liquor adds to tequila what baileys adds to whiskey. So I will be adding it to my morning coffee for that extra kick. Thank god I went to the The Liquid Chef Mixology event at Rayuela last night. See how productive nightlife can be.

Johnny Utahs Monday Nights
this wasn't on yesterdays agenda but I had to attend another bday celebration. this time for my gay plus one. He had the bright idea of going to Johnny Utahs. what I thought would be a cheesy themed midtown resto-lounge experience actually turned into one of the best Monday night experiences I've had in a while. Yes, there is bull riding, yes, there is buffalo wings and ribs. But on Monday nights there are models and bottles... of Tequila. Yeah you read correctly tequila bottle service and buckets of bud, and a DJ mixing old school down home rock with Kanye & Biggy.
