cpnews Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 Courtesy of NY TimesWhat do you do with a roof bar once the weather turns cold? Greg Brieris dealing with this very problem at Highbar, a smash success this summer. But, you know, it like doesn't have a roof, so the changing seasons are going to have a direct impact on Greg's business model. Not to worry, the roof will remain open through the winter, covered by a "a transparent tent with heat lamps". In addition, guests will have access to a "sleek penthouse lounge one level below the rooftop, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Eighth Avenue". It onbiously won't be the same, but the Highbar folks hope it will sustain them until the warm weather returns. [NY Times]A Little Birdy was in Soho Thursday night and walked upon the scene that is Origine. The report? Shit show. According to our LB, "there was an overflow crowd pouring onto Spring Street, and you could hear Naughty By Nature at level 11. Heavy B&T." Well, everyone needs to have fun, but we can't imagine the residents appreciate a full fledged nightclub operating in what was meant to be a restaurant. We give this one 3 months before the community crushes it out of existence. [DBTH]Winter means cocktails to warm the spirit. The back bar at Freemans whpped us up a Dark Rum Mojito, which did indeed give us a warm, tingly feeling inside after just coming in from the cold. Delicious.Just in time for Veteran's Day, two versions of the MacArthur cocktail. One is rum based, the other made with brandy. There really are cocktails for every occassion.More...
