Bottoms Up: The Brooklyn Martini and The Brooklyn Punch

Telling A Joke… No, Seriously.

by AlFebruary 25, 2010 Entertaining

Bottoms Up: The (slightly modified) Pear Tree Martini (for groups)

Always a fan of fried potatoes with salt, I love latkes, but due to the fact that they contain eggs, I rarely get to enjoy them. OMFGstyle contributor Ann Cohen, in the true Hanukkah spirit, generously shared her mom’s potato [...]
