Well we made through another winter, and not a moment too soon. Having survived last week’s Northeaster in NYC, this barkeep is ready for the warm weather.
To help celebrate, our new friend Rebecca sent us four refreshing cocktails that evoke the brightness of spring. She was also kind enough to brave the storm and introduce me to some amazing cocktails at Sapa an extremely cool spot on 24th Street near Madison Park that serves French Southeast Asian Cuisine. Sapa features a lively bar, great decor and a terrific cocktail list. Thanks Rebecca!
