Quotation of the Day for May 27, 2015"How anybody gets drunk enough to act this way is one of several fun Javelina mysteries to keep you entertained. Fresh or frozen, the margaritas have a slight chemical taste that I was thankful for because it tended to keep my own alcohol intake to near-Mormon levels. I also stayed alert and sober when faced with the Tijuana Manhattan, made with tequila in the place of whiskey and served in a rocks glass with no ice at all, even though it was the temperature of a freshly killed snake. While bartenders elsewhere have become insufferable bores on the subjects of ice and proper shaking techniques, the ones at Javelina are refreshingly free of such pretension. Even the water is sometimes served at room temperature." - Pete Wells, in his New York Times review of the restaurant Javelina. [The entire review is well worth a read. -eds.] [http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/20/dining/restaurant-review-javelina-in-gramercy-park.html?_r=0] Submitted by: Terry Labach May 25, 2015  |
