“Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.” – Isak Dinesen
Breakfast at Manhattan Cocktail Classic Astor Bar
Is it really Summer? Just returned from a bustling trip to New York, this issue is NY-centric with Manhattan Cocktail Classic coverage. But SF locals pay attention to details on a new Mission burger and wine bar concept I’m particularly excited about in The Latest. I only begin to scratch the surface of my latest NY visit, so stay tuned for more food and drink recommends in future issues.

Wandering Traveler eats well in NYC from bagels to burgers to breakfast… with a little creative Indian food thrown in for good measure. On the Town covers the best and the worst that was the first annual Manhattan Cocktail Classic, including the top sips I tasted during the event. Imbiber gets all off coffee snob on the hunt for a proper espresso and cappuccino in the Big Apple.
