Picture me
Me and my friends were wondering when you will put us in the paper. We saw you at the Shannon Bar and you said you will put us in the paper. We’ll be downtown waiting for you. – Heather W.
I remember you. I’ll stop by to say hi to you ladies very soon.
Letter for Hal
I also went to Cornwall on Hudson for Gary [Regan’s] seminar (Hal Wastes His Wages 9/4). It was a great experience and I couldn’t have described it better myself. Gary and the staff of Painter’s Tavern showed me some of the best hospitality ever. You can never know everything about bartending, even if you’ve been doing it a while, but Gary taught me everything I need to know in order to keep on learning. – Jennifer S.
Hal wrote about cocktail guru Gary Regan’s bartender training "Cocktails in the Country" two weeks ago.
Something Caren the Editor noticed
"Some of the metal ‘WATER’ caps in the streets of Hoboken have rust that curled over the W, so it looks like they say ‘HATER.’ "
Overheard on the 126 bus
GIRL (TO GUY): You hardly ate anything today. All you had was a pretzel.
GUY: Where do you keep it?
GIRL: The badge?
