The Buzzed Assassin is back again.  Now, where did the Assassin get to this time?  Well, friends, the truth of the matter is that I cannot tell you the whole truth.  But I will say this: from time to time, even the best of us must take a moment to return to basics, to refocus [...]

About The Buzzed Assassin

You think you see motion out of the corner of your eye, but by then it is too late. The cocktail glass is empty, and the Buzzed Assassin has struck again. Wherever there is a delicious cocktail or spirit to be had, the Buzzed Assassin lurks. From the diviest of dives to the cleanest and most well lit business lounge, no libation is safe when it is brought to his attention. Bloody Marys of the world beware, for the Drunken Tomato has taken a contract out on you, and where she points, the Assassin and his razor sharp and efficient liver will strike home. Always.

Every Sunday, my good friend and I meet up in the late afternoon for a tradition we have dubbed “Ramen Sunday.”  This past Sunday was no different and since I had plenty of time before we had arranged to meet at our usual spot, I took a leisurely walk through the East Village.  It was [...]

About Spice Girl

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want… As a self-proclaimed spice addict, Spice Girl joins the Drunken Tomato and friends in their constant quest for spectacular Bloody Marys. Using her father’s tried and true recipe, she searches for any establishment that can outdo her own magnificent creation. Whether it be at brunch, during football games or any time of day, Bloody Mary is her poison and her mission clear: to seek out the brew that burns but doesn’t blaze. The taste with a tantalizing tang. The swallow with the savory spice and sizzling sensation. The potion with the perfect proportion of piquancy. The concoction with a kick. The libation that leaves a lingering litany of love. Zest and zip. Inset additional alliterative adjectives here… Follow me @SpiceGirlNYC

The Buzzed Assassin continues his stalking adventures through New York’s finest (and not so finest) drinking establishments.  My recent brunch-time travels brought me back to the Lower East Side, which, for decades at the beginning of the 20th century, was the destination of immigrant European and Jewish workers and their families, bound for the tenements [...]

My brunch plans this weekend included a trip to Five Leaves, the hip and happening spot in Greenpoint, one of my favorite neighborhoods to wander around on the weekends.  I had been told really great things about this place, so I was pretty excited.  Everything on the menu looked amazing, including the three choices for [...]

Welcome to another episode of the Assassin Goes Bloody!  This time, the Assassin visits the East Village location of Yerba Buena, a Pan-Latin restaurant that ranks well with the foodie set.  But you did not come to the Drunken Tomato for my thoughts on the food, did you?  I didn’t think so. This particular day, [...]
