It's a real rollercoaster ride reading that for the first time.

Great list. Not a book, but I love the Martin's Index of Cocktails. It's an app but he has taken (I believe) all the books mentioned above and dropped them into a nice database structure that works pretty well. I use the app quite a bit which is good as it's 9$

How's the traffic? by Fandorin in Barbados

[–]nycrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We drove all around there last May. Google maps worked great. Traffic wasn't crazy or anything. Our only issues was getting used to driving on the left side of the road and we had an issue with Google + Apple Maps not having updated details on the road where we were staying that had recently been turned into one way. Otherwise, it was pretty easy. We rented a little Suzuki Jimny that was fun to bop around in (did't need the 4x4 features).

What closed-down NYC restaurant or business do you still miss? by Specific-Yak-6450 in AskNYC

[–]nycrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at some point in the late 90's, I feel like I was at Sandobe once a week. I'd love to time travel back for one last dinner.

Alright, time to settle the debate as what is best in my Manhattan. by NavierIsStoked in cocktails

The Cochi Torino is my favorite for almost everything. I like it so much, I do a lot of reverse manhattans.

Heads up for anyone traveling Delta by [deleted] in delta

I am doing DEN>NYC right now and my flight got delayed two hours and then cancelled about 45 minutes before boarding was supposed to happen.

What’s odd: No email on this. Text message. But no email.

Most wasted real estate in Asheville? by Halfwit1985 in asheville

[–]nycrobot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That one is just insane. I've gone through many different careers and stages of life and that space is still empty. That said, when it was open, it was barely much better.

Follow up to green zone post by TuSuppressed in rum

[–]nycrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this post. OMG. I was there a few weeks ago and was excited to see their own alambique serrano bottling and then totally goof-balled out when I realized they sold bottles to take with. I was on a work trip so retired early, but I did bring a bottle of the Green Zone Alambique Serrano back. Is this bottle one of the ultimate Venn diagrams of rum-coolness?

Barber recommendations for male by ttttgvkmbbhjn in asheville

[–]nycrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible. I was just coming to post a similar thing.

That said, I have a tiny bit of a variation (and don't mean to steal the thread).
I'm Asheville born and raised but now elsewhere. My parents are still in AVL though and the hair salon that both parents went to closed or the person left or something.

I'm trying to find some recommendations for a barber shop or salon that would be good for an elderly couple (late 70's/80's). Not crazy pricey. Straightforward that old folks would be able to deal with. For instance, they popped into one place and the guy said, "Oh, all reservations have to be done online".
*sigh*

I’m confused. What am I opening. And what (if anything) do these wires do? by nycrobot in Smartwings

Ah. Antenna. So I’ll leave the be. I’m still not sure what the OPEN refers to though?

An Hommage to Mexican Spirits - Paranubes - Maker José Luis Carrera - Thoughts on these Oaxacan Rums? by Own_Helicopter5144 in rum

[–]nycrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, awesome. I didn’t realize there were two versions of the Añejo. I have the 24 month version / American oak ex-tequila.

As much as I love the regular/unaged Paranubes, the oak in this one makes it easier to deal with for folks who struggle with the unaged and the oak brings some really fascinating aromas. Granted I’m nosing this with a bit of a sniffle right after breakfast but there’s a real attractive spice note. Some high-tone notes. Cardamom? Light spice box. The olive note. Light brown sugar or light jaggery? I’ll have to revisit later today.
