Good Spirits, our annual cocktail pairing extravaganza, was just the right push we needed to make it through the rest of winter.
At Pacific Standard, the 5-year-old craft beer and sports bar on the Boerum Hill side of lower Fourth Avenue, even drunken bets are on. Thanks to the official Wager Book, now in its third iteration, patrons in all states of soberness (or not) can record their bets for posterity.

Hungry? Our events calendar has loads of Edible events around the city, like Back Forty’s Cassoulet Festival celebrating the famed wintry dish from the south of France (“pork and beans at its best”). Here’s what’s happening this week.
Sure, we were in Brooklyn and it was a cold winter’s eve, but nestled inside the Brooklyn Brewery last Wednesday night at How To Prepare a Mexican Feast, we might as well have been in Mexico…at least as far as our stomachs were concerned.
After a cancer scare, Jackie Summers quit his job in publishing and devoted his time to making and bottling sorel liqueur, a pink-hued drink he’d grown up on in Brooklyn. Sorel, which takes its name from the sorrel plant, is made by generations of Caribbean immigrants like Jack’s grandparents. But until Jack began bottling the stuff, folks outside the West Indian community had little access to the drink.
On January 9th a fire ripped through Oslo Coffee Roaster’s Bedford Avenue location, destroying the space and the equipment. Now their friends at Blue Bottle Coffee are hosting a latte art throwdown to raise money for the folks at Oslo. Aw…it’s so sweet, right? One coffee roaster helping another.
It feels like we’ve been counting down the days to Good Spirits, our annual cocktail and food pairing extravaganza, FOREVER. But it’s finally almost here! Only six more days until we’ll be sipping cocktails that transport us to warm, sunny beaches and devouring pork belly sliders, Island Creek oysters and so much more.
Hungry? Our events calendar has loads of Edible events around the city, like Good Spirits, our fourth annual food and cocktail pairing extravaganza on February 21st.

Here’s what’s happening this week.
The theme for this year’s TEDx Manhattan conference, “Changing the Way We Eat,” couldn’t be dearer to our hearts: to explore the food system as we shift to a more sustainable way of eating and farming. Sadly for us (and most of you) tickets are way sold out. The good news is we can all tune in to the conference online here where it will be livestreaming this Saturday, February 16th, from 10:30am – 6:00pm.
Weather Up is exactly the kind of bar you want to hole up in while the blizzard rages. Between the soft yellow lighting and sublime drinks, you’ll be warm from the belly out.
