Adal invited Sarah and I out for strange fancy drinks at The Aviary.

When our first round came out, mine was an ice sphere in a glass that had to be cracked open to get the Old Fashioned out, Sarah’s was a Rob Roy sitting in the middle of a sealed plastic bag of flavored air and Adal’s was a Bloody Mary with dry ice. It looked like we were drinking in a Star Trek bar. Sadly, we didn’t take a picture.

Between rounds, though, Adal, the educated foodie, assured us that it is no longer considered tacky to take pictures of your food and drinks in an upscale restaurant, that it is, in fact, encouraged. “Some places say it on the menu.” So I snapped a few pics of our second round of future booze.
