News tips

A colleague alerted moi to a Reuters report headlined "Recession cocktails may take edge off dark year." The gist of it is that bartenders are going all Great Depression on us, reaching back to the prewar years for drink recipes. In: anything with bourbon (the old-fashioned, sidecar, Manhattan). Out: fruitiness (pomegranate, papaya). Seeing some of that locally, at Victor Tango's and the new Neighborhood Services. The bar there is having fun with bourbon and rye, and the decor includes plus-sized photographs of burly, hard-working fellows doing infrastructure stuff.
