Here we are now, Entertain us

This past Saturday night we wandered into a charming tiny bar that was oozing more ambiance per square inch than most South Beach mega bars that spend thousands on décor.  The bar looked more like an apothecary's supply closet than a full service South Beach liquor bar. Jars of fresh picked herbs, viles of sweet extracts, and unmarked bowls of exotic spices lined the bar. And the concoctions that the bartenders (or apothecaries) whipped up with these ingredients were even more surprising and impressive! Check out the menu below, the names of the drinks are as clever as the drinks are delicious! Being a child of the grunge age, I had to try the "Smells Like Teen Spirit".  This spicy and delectable bev combined the refreshing clean taste of cucumbers and kale with a spicy kick of red peppers and tumeric.,. Oh and there was some tequila in it too.  A.Maze!  All I have to say is Kurt Cobain would be proud. Yummy drinks, tasty food, charming atmosphere and friendly staff? Well done Broken Shaker! I'll be back!





Smells Like Teen Spirit... Tastes better!

Man Booties... Hot or Not?

Relax ladies! We are just talking footwear here! :) Fashion around the office usually varies from total snoozefest to mediocre at best. Luckily there are some secret style civilians who show their point of view from time to time. I struck up a fashion debate with one such style civ last week. The man bootie... What are your thoughts? The weather has been nice and cool lately allowing us south Floridians to give the flips a break for a while and wear actual shoes. This guy chose to be daring and went with the man bootie, a interesting choice in general but especially for a south Floridian! While I give the aforementioned bootie high points for color and leather texture, I'm not certain I'm down for the "boot" section. Go big or go home right? I mean why not go Texan and do the whole boot? Or just do a normal shoe in the same color??? I don't get it.

Verdict: Still Stylin but not my fav. You be the judge.
