Bourbon & Branch Bonanza
Last night was a Plymouth Gin rebranding party and opening party for Bourbon and Branch. I'm not sure if B&B will be open regular hours (whatever they are) after this or not. I can't wait! Actually, I don't even have the phone number yet to make reservations and I have to go there to write about the place...
Anyway, it's looking good and drinks just kept showing up at our table. I was sitting in a booth with Nish from Yelp.com (whom I also ran into at last week's Hip Tastes, and now that I think of it, I also ran into Courtney from Hip Tastes at B&B), Meredith from Chow.com, Andrea from DailyCandy.com, Greg and Jon from Rye, and B&B's Dahi. It seemed everyone else in the booth was slurring as bad as I was. What a hoot. Eventually, I had to slip out run home as I realized a blackout was fast approaching, and it wasn't even 10PM.
I didn't get to see the drink menu yet because they were only serving gin in various delicious forms. I had a martini with a splash of orange bitters, a drink called the "white lady," and a cucumber drink that was out of control good. (Psst- any chance you guys will share the cucumber recipe? e-me, kay?)
Anyway, I'm still riding the high. Who wants to go back with me?

Isn't Meredith a dear?
well - i want to go so desperately after reading it about it on your site but I sent an email to their website ages ago and havent heard a thing back from them.
Obviously us bloggers are not as important to them as the main stream old style media cos we didn't get any launch party invites ;)
Boo hoo for you! Luckily you can go tonight!
Checking it out on Thurs ... will report back.
Don't pass on the "Rouge no. 10" Fantastique!
