Apparently, tabuzak says the address was posted in one of the messages here; I guess i shoulda looked more closely ;-( i am REALLY sorry i missed the hang on your end although it sounds like you all had a bash worthy of any TC hang anyways :wink: I am down in NYC often and since I cannot most likely make Ottos tonight, we'll have to strive for something else. Perhaps King Yums - the scene at 155. e. 55th was weak - a Mai Tai there is OJ, bacardi gold, castillo white, some odd mix (pineapple and lime juice?), and amaretto - yuck! In my opinion, most of the best tiki drinks are served in house parties anyways and if you cant get a great drink, then at least make sure the decor is great and the vessels are Approved as we say. I hear king yums is up there in that department. Tabuzak's house is also well equipped on the music and cocktail front :wink: I also dug deeper on flatiron etc; they arent making the real zombie - in fact, i probably wouldnt even ask based on the response i got word of via Sasha Petrask of Milk and Honey who knows the pegu/flatiron owners - NYC bartenders are still apparently on the down about the tiki cocktail beyond say, the Mai Tai (last night's was pretty good - they used brugal anejo...not bad). "it was the sex on the beach of it's era" - was the response and "i probably wouldn't ask for it if its not on the menu" type of comments were received.
