Hey Gavy....about ten years ago, they used to have a bar outside of Elmhurst Hospital called 'Macambo' do you know what is it called now? I used to hang out there with my friends, was a great place! 
! That was the place right between Hampton and Ithaca on Baxter. My friend Beto, now working at Blue Lounge on Roosevelt (used to be Capitolio), was the manager there. I ONLY know him as the manager of these places, nothing else .I was a kid when I'd run into that joint. After I hooked up with this girl at Ilda's in the late 90s, I kind of stopped hanging in the bars in the area. Too close to home. But, yeah, Macambo, that was a fun place.
It is vacant right now. You'd walk right past it today if you weren't looking for it. I definitely believe that with the glut of all those bars over there and they all do business...I think someone could run a joint right there and do well. There is so much traffic Thursday through Sunday; four nights is all you need.
See you on the scene,
Gavy
I recently came into a bottle of absynthe. I was excited to try it. But you know what? If it weren't illegal, I don't think it would be a big deal. It's really just a more flavorful pastis. The "louche" looks cool, when you pour ice water into it and it clouds up. But it just didn't live up to its legend.
Also, it gives you a really weird hangover.
PS -- I personally think vodka is for people who are afraid of anything with any flavor.

OK....
1...Vodka...Stoli Gold is very very good...but you HAVE to try Tanquery Stirling vodka....even better than the famous Grey Goose, and it's priced less....only the larger stores will have it, but believe me, once you sample it, you'll never drink any other vodka....of course keep it cold, then serve on the rocks.
2...Bourbon....I think that Knob Creek is hard to beat....but a very good single barrel is offered by Evan Williams....this is very smooth with good full taste, and surprisingly cheap...about $20 for a 750 ML bottle....BUT is is hard to find in the NY metro area.
3...Scotch....well, the list could go on and on and on....JW Black is a very good blended scotch for the money.
Single malts are very different and PRICEY....this why I stopped drinking scotch after consuming it for more than 30 years....to expensive.....Lagavulin is one of the very best Islay single malts on the market IF....you can even find it.
Straight ahead,
Capy
