Hello friends!  Spice Girl here and I’m very honored to be a part of The Drunken Tomato’s quest for the best and worst of everyone’s favorite brunch libation.  Although, let’s be honest – Bloody Marys are great any time of day!  Case in point, this weekend I found myself in need of one as a [...]

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

Once again, the Buzzed Assassin, your helpful guide to the world of The Drunken Tomato, is at your service with another review!  Today’s travels brought me to Social Eatz, a self-billed Asian gastropub on East 53rd, between 2nd and 3rd Avenue.  I admit that Midtown East is not a neighborhood I go to very often.  [...]

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.

The Stanton Social. A Party For Your Insides.

Holy horseradish, captain.   Spiciness on top of spiciness on top of spiciness, eating away at your insides as you sip each fiery sip.  It reminds me of the way alcohol should be.  We often spend so much time masking the burning absorption of alcohol within the nose, throat and, my most favorite, the stomach lining, [...]

About The Drunken Tomato

With reckless abandon, I travel the world drunkenly imbibing bloody marys from the darkest corner bars to the brightest outdoor cafes, in search of this magnificant cocktail. I do this not so that I may gain the knowledge of but a fractional piece of the bloody mary pie, but rather, I do this so that my experiences can hopefully one day inspire you to continue on with this quest. I understand it is the journey that fulfills us. And for me, that journey lies within my epic crusade for the ultimate bloody mary.

After a long absence, the Buzzed Assassin is here again.  Where have I been, you might wonder?  What bloody mary fueled exploits have I achieved in this absence?  Was I on a secret deep cover assignment, observing cocktails and straight spirits in shadowy surveillance in order to consume them in the most efficient ways possible?  [...]

Holy horseradish people!  But bring me another!  The menu says $22.95 for an entrée and three bloody marys, screwdrivers or mimosas.  But “three” tends to be a relative number.  Not to mention, if you don’t happen to imbibe all “three” of your drinks, plan on receiving raffle tickets from your aloof friendly server to be [...]

Oh so not good at all.  The Buzzed Assassin and I had just come from a delicious, light and very fresh brunch at Prune (see reviews here and here) and were wandering the East Village in pursuit of just a bit more day drinking.  Nothing was really tickling my fancy but Dempsey’s was close and [...]

This is your friendly neighborhood Buzzed Assassin reporting in on my recent adventures (misadventures?) at the Stone Street Tavern.  Arriving just in time for Sunday brunch, I delighted in being just in time for more adventures in the Bloody Mary badlands of a place known as Stone Street.  Now Stone Street, for those not in [...]

Five Points. A Rosemary Twist or an Oyster to Boot.

I’ll keep it short and sweet.  This is a damn good bloody mary.  I went with the rosemary bloody, because I like to keep it classic.  A rosemary twist, lots of pepper and a good amount of heat.  I couldn’t ask for much more.  Except maybe a pitcher full.  Yes, I said a pitcher.  At [...]

This is the Buzzed Assassin reporting in.  My most recent foray into the world of Bloody Marys brought me to Five Points, a well respected and reviewed restaurant in the NoHo NYU area of the City.  I arrived with the Tomato and, as we waited for our third, The French Girl (a close friend of [...]
