And from what I gathered, the boy had been learning fast

derspatchel and I had dinner at Saloon. There is no sign; there is a lamp, a discreet doorman, and a downward flight of stairs. He said it was the closest thing to a speakeasy he knew in Boston nowadays. Most of the menu is alcohol. There's vaulting on the ceiling. All it lacks is a honky-tonk upright and lapel pins.

It was not on the menu, but the bartenders made me a Bunny Hug.

(The waiter who carried the request said dubiously, after I described the proportions of the drink, that she'd pour it down the sink, too.)

It was terrific.

Here's to you, Mordecai.

wakanomori and I went out for drinks with a friend on Monday, and I tried to ask for a Bitter and Alone, but alas, could not remember its components, let alone their proportions.

I don't know the proportions, but the components are Becherovka, grapefruit juice, honey, and Peychaud's. I don't know if it's a variant of something else; I've never seen it anywhere but The Salty Pig.

I suppose there's a simple solution: the next time you're in town, that's where we go for lunch or dinner.

I **love** this idea.
