While the rest of the world is scrumming through old photo albums looking for pictures of themselves for Throwback Thursdays and Flashback Fridays, that reveal faddish fashion, poses, hairstyles and such, rolling out will be presenting some of the hottest places to kick back, relax and throw back specialty cocktails and straight shots. If you’re ever in the lower East Side of the concrete jungle, for five bucks, you can enjoy a Hanoi Lychee martini from Verlaine NYC. Available seven days a week from 7-10 p.m., you can get pretty sloppy off this three-ingredient drink of vodka, lychee fruit and a splash of pineapple juice. Over 1.5 million of these martinis have been served since 2001 (according to verlainenyc.com) and I have indulged in more than 100 of these sweet and strong cocktails—not on the same night, but for the same price. Go see Keith at the bar (pictured below) or ask for Vickie. They’ll take good care of you. Tell ’em Rachelle from rolling out sent you.
