Although I am not actually a fan of the cocktail per se (I'm a beer drinker), I love the art of the pour.Remember Tom Cruise in the movie "Cocktail," tossing glasses and bottles around with great elan and scary coordination? Hell, even a stodgy old fart beer drinker like me, parked at the bar, can appreciate the fun of a good performance.
Rich, aka Nacho Bizznez, who holds forth on KMUN, and used to be at The Schooner on 12th Street, is a cocktail artist (read about him here). I do not say this lightly. Not only that, he's a nice guy.
So naturally I was horrified when The Schooner put up the announcement on the door that all they would be serving was breakfast.
I'm sorry, but who gives a crap about breakfast? Where's the fun? Where's the show? Where's the bartender?
He's at Pier 11, at the bottom of 11th Street in Astoria, that's where he is. Hallelujah.
