Because I’m thinking of it today. Gingerman Through my exhaustive (and exhausting) SXSW research, I stumbled upon a party serving Vermont’s Magic Hat beer–to which I got super-excited, Twittered about, turns out Magic Hat is ON TWITTER, found me, and let me know that they actually already distribute Magic Hat down here! So some research…

A little taste of absinthe
When Peche opened on Fourth in the old Malaga spot, I was excited to try some absinthe. Not because I have ever particularly cared about absinthe, but because who doesn’t want to try something entirely new? Right off, I loved the atmosphere. The wall behind the bar is library shelves of liquor with silver ladders…

Some restaurants I ate at this week …
Turns out I tried a bunch of new (to me) restaurants this weekend! Imperia — the sushi happy hour was super-packed, too crowded really, and the sushi was passed apps, which means my friends and I each got about three pieces. They were tasty–cream cheese and eel, a crunchy take on spicy tuna–but I don’t…
