The Federal Donut Experiment

Posted in Miscellany on November 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

When Federal Donuts on 2nd Street opened, like most of the city, we were excited. We were even more excited when the rumors proved to be true, and the donuts were just as tasty and unique as we had heard. The only problem is that the donuts weren’t made of alcohol, so we set out […]

Just a few updates on things: Hop Sing Laundromat is coming along nicely. We checked in with Lêe again for what he tells us is the last time until opening to check out the furniture and completed bar. The bar (above) itself looks incredible.

Earlier this week, Foobooz posted a list of what they have determined to be Philadelphia’s Best Drinks.

Liquor Cabinet Update

Posted in Miscellany on October 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

It’s been a while since we updated our Liquor Cabinet, so we put up some new drinks. Our gin section is still sadly lacking, but there have been a couple pretty interesting additions in whiskey (Tullamore 12, Hirsch, Buffalo Trace, Finnegan, Bushmill and Shine) and Liqueur (Becherovka, Akvavit, Rhuby and Villa Massa) sections, with a […]

This past week, Thrillist.com asked us to come up with a mobile bar kit: something that you could take camping, tailgating, picnicking…basically anywhere you’d want to drink outside.
