There’s something about the combination of historic grand hotels and cocktail culture that absolutely enchants me.

There are warm winter drinks, and then there are hot drinks. As in flaming hot!

We Love Drinks: Chantal Tseng
We Love Drinks continues our series where we look behind the bar, profiling the many people – from mixologists to bartenders, sommeliers to publicans – who make your drinks experience happen.
It’s no secret that one of my favorite bars in the city is Tabard Inn. The creaky lounge – a Victorian Medievalist’s fantasy, with its [...]
2009, A Glass Half Full
When I inaugurated the We Love Drinks feature back in September 2008, I really didn’t give it much thought to start with, honestly. We founding writers were tossing around feature ideas, and I said, “hey, what about drinks? I go out a fair amount.” That simple. It began mostly with bar reviews, with some coffee [...]
