Get ready for mass pandemonium, people—Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. Therefore, it’s safe to expect reservations to be tough to get all over the city simply because nobody wants to piss off Cupid. But we stumbled upon a laidback alternative for anyone seeking something a little different. At Saint Rocco’s New York Italian at Trinity Groves, they’re […]
Brunch and bubbles are one of the most perfect pairings in human history. At least this side of Liam Payne and tighty whities. So we thoroughly enjoy the chance to get creative with our mimosas. That’s one of the highlights at the gorgeous Perle on Maple inside Uptown’s iconic hotel, The Stoneleigh. Unlike so many brunches that are a rowdy […]
What’s one thing we love as much as champagne? A good rhyme. So consider this both a brunch recommendation and a PSA on how to pronounce one of the best champagnes in the world. Veuve rhymes with love. Not moooove as so many people say it. We met with brand representatives several years ago and their mantra of “Veuve rhymes […]
We have a winner! After back-to-back failed concepts in the space at 3900 Cedar Springs Road, Peasant Pizzeria has come onto the scene poised to become a regular haunt for years to come. Attentive service, fair prices and (most importantly) killer food work together to create the triple threat needed to succeed in the city’s major LGBT entertainment district. We were invited […]
Want to send off September with a bang? And a slurp? And a teeny-tiny umbrella or two? Then drop everything and snag tickets to this Saturday night’s Ultimate Cocktail Experience at Klyde Warren Park. Your ticket gets you access to six unique travel-themed bars, including New Orleans, London, Casablanca, Havana, Hong Kong and Mexico City. That equates to 35 cocktails and […]
We love a good spread. (We’re just not that limber anymore.) But there’s another spread that has us really excited: Sunday Killer Brunch at Grayson Social downtown. Sure, you could order the Eggs Benedict and call it a day. Or you can jump all the way in with the Fried Chicken & Bubbles like we did last Sunday when they […]
Personally, we hate public displays of affection. But there is one type of PDA we will always tolerate, and that’s a Prominent Display of Alcohol. Typically in the form of vodka. Of course, for special occasions like New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day or a three-way with a 22-year-old, Champagne bubbles right to the top of our to-drink list. We know […]
Dearest Valentine, How do we love thee? Once we see what you buy us, we’ll get back to you on that one. But our lips are a good place to start. Not with a kiss, of course, but the tickle of bubbles from a great champagne. Deliver it in designer packaging and you’re raking in the bonus points. Fortunately for […]
Whether you’re celebrating the end of the world next week or you think we’ll still be around for New Year’s Eve, nothing is better for marking important occasions than a cold bottle of bubbly. Sure, Champagne is nice, but we typically prefer something less expensive. Because less expensive equals larger quantities. But a cheaper bottle of bubbles doesn’t necessarily mean […]
