Couple pickups today


Wow - nice finds. Pappy got released in NY this week. Several stores that I spoke with wanted 2K per bottle, which is substantially higher than secondary market prices. Due to label approval, we still don't have BTAC stuff yet....

Avenue Pub is your spot as Jack & others echoed...

If you're staying off Canal St (Sheraton, Marriott) or don't mind walking, you could actually take the streetcar (we don't call it a trolley and neither should you), if you want a cab it's probably only $10 bucks or so.

Take the St Charles line (green) and not the Canal line toward Uptown/Carrolton down to A-Pub. Can get off at Euterpe or Felicity and walk a block to the pub.

The upstairs area (where all the good stuff is) opens at 5pm Sun-Thurs and at 1pm Fri-Sat.

There's a ton of great beer but the bourbon display is pretty outrageous.

You might be able to do a Pappy flight if available (prob $65 for 15-20-23) or a Four Roses Small Batch flight ('12-'13-'14)...but there's plenty of truly great juice regardless.

Enjoy the trip...if I see any Buckeyes there in the next few weeks I'll buy a round for y'all....Buck Fama!

ETA: LPD is a 12/107


Thanks very much for this helpful information. I'll definitely be at the lounge area of the avenue pub quite a bit, so say hello if you are around. My wife and I love craft beer as well, so we will have tough choices, but the bourbon selection is quite outstanding. I'm amazed to look at the prices too.... Our local NYC spot charges so much more for crappy pours that it's unbelievable (LINK /).

We will be arriving on the 29th, so we will be town to catch you guys smash ND. Cheers!

I know it's not a cigar forum, but most of us enjoy them with our dram. But it looks like Cuban cigars will be legal again in the very near future. So get your orders ready.

With prices what they are, I would think there would be some counterfeiting...

I'm sure there is a bit of counterfeiting. I mean, look at how many ads are on craigslist and the asking price of each bottle LINK +

Olive or Twist is opening at 3:00 today to accommodate all those looking for a drink before the raffle! I believe the Lafy Baws are headed there.
